Happy Birthdead 2 You

(Quickie Review.) I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the first Happy Death Day and while I didn't think it needed a sequel at all, period, end of story, here we are. And it was surprisingly very good! I can see why it wasn't a hit: it changed from a self-aware horror-comedy to outright comedy-sci-fi. Not sure if that's part of the profitable sequel playbook, but it worked for me. I had a blast here. Now, it's not perfect and kept running in circles when ideas ran out, but the characters, direction and dialogue was so rich and fun for me, I was fully invested. That all said, I would highly recommend the original slasher comedy more than this one, but it's kind of a nice add-on to see this one and where it took the original story's Groundhog Day dilemma.

Quick review. I recommend watching the first one as closely as you can to this one. This one picks up right where it left off. The cast pops with some side characters coming to the front of movie. Great scares. This movie will literally give you all the feels. Jessica Rothe and Rachel Matthews are perfect in this movie! This movie takes you on such a wild ride that you will want to ride again and again! I plan on seeing at least two more times before it leaves the cinema. Also stay for the post credit scene you won't regret it!

Looking back at the first film, I gave it a solid 7/10, and I stick to that, this follow up gets an 8/10, for my money it's better than the first.

This film is funny, exciting, imaginative, and packed full of surprises. The twists come thick and fast, as do the laughs, perhaps a few scares short of the first film, but overall it's better.

Danielle is hilarious here, the scene where she attempts to get the keys back is a moment of comedy joy, indeed some of the characters are a whole lot more likeable this time round.

A good twist with the killer, I didn't see that outcome.

Let's hope there's a third. 8/10.

Perfect sequel to an innovative horror comedy. Wonderfully balances comedy, slasher-horror, science-fiction & heart-filled drama Plus Jessica Rothe delivers a dedicated performance which makes the experience all the more richer. Stay during the mid-credits for a hilarious epilogue

Rating 8.4/10 Surprisingly entertaining !! It definitely worth a watch. This film isn't perfect and is possibly quite unoriginal but it's still tons of fun and puts a fresh twist on the concept. The characters are likable and the humour is brilliant at times. It's just lots of fun and excitement. Very enjoyable !!
