Summary
A college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The actor’s performances are amazing, especially from Jessica Rothe and Ruby Modine.
 * 2) It has a creepy and also very funny Groundhog Day-vibe.
 * 3) Likable and memorable characters such as Tree, Carter and Danielle.
 * 4) The idea of making an unidentified killer chase after a particular someone, and after killing them, make the day start over again until the victim finds out who it is is pretty original.
 * 5) Nicely done character and story development.
 * 6) Tree's ringtone, "It’s My Birthday", is very short but memorable.
 * 7) A fair amount of well-executed scary and funny moments.
 * 8) Babyface's kills manage to be both horrifying and hilarious.
 * 9) Many unpredictable twists and turns throughout most of the movie.
 * 10) The ending is quite satisfying when Tree finally figures out Babyface's real identity.
 * 11) Happy Death Day 2U, while relying more comedy then being a horror-comedy, was still a pretty decent sequel.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) The alternate ending was completely unsatisfying for viewers and so it was cut from the film. But it is available on the blu-ray release.
