There are many movies of infinite loop type. "Groundhog Day" is the originator of the mountain. Although the plot is about the prodigal son's return under the guise of pseudo science fiction, the routine of becoming a better self, the later time loop movies failed to jump out of this. It is a regular pattern, but the different presentation forms and content structures still make the audience curious. Who doesn't want a chance to wake up and make amends all over again?
"Happy Death Day" tells the story of Terry's birthday. On her way to a party at night, she was killed by a mysterious masked man, but she didn't expect to wake up and return to her birthday morning. At first she just thought she had a nightmare, but this day was completely repeated according to the trajectory of the nightmare, and Terry was killed again!
When she woke up for the third time, Teri began to doubt life, and she had to accept the fact that she was caught in an infinite cycle of death!
At the suggestion of Carter, the boy who had a crush on her, Teri regained her energy and began to search for clues to find out her murderer.
Then, the heroine embarked on the process of actively seeking death...
The heroine of this comedy horror film, Teri, is not a heroine in the domestic public perception, but more like a vicious supporting actress. She is beautiful but a bitch. She was taken back to the dormitory by a strange boy when she was drunk. She molested her boyfriend in front of girls and had an affair with a married doctor and teacher. She doesn't care about environmental protection, treats classmates indifferently, turns a blind eye to her father, and can be selected as the most disgusting roommate of the year.
The conversation with the roommate was: "You finally got back?" Then he threw the birthday cake made by the other party into the trash in front of others, rude and arrogant.
When Carter helped her sort out who might kill her, Teri mentioned the driver she spat on the day before yesterday. When Carter was surprised, Terri replied "No one is perfect".
In fact, this is all paving the way for the heroine to constantly correct her mistakes and become a better person throughout the entire death cycle. Although it is not unexpected, when the heroine finally transforms perfectly and embraces a new life, we will inevitably be moved.
Those who fail to defeat us will become the forces that make us stronger.
Since it is a horror film, no matter how sand sculptures are made, there will be scary horror scenes. In "Happy Death Day", the mask worn by the killer has become an important mask. Always be alert to the sudden appearance of the killer. The smile on the mask in the dark is a reminder, which is obviously a cute and happy toy, but it has become a symbol of blood. People can't help but feel a little bit afraid.
Using children's favorite toys as props is standard in many horror films, such as the scary grimace in "Scream", the doll in "Annabelle", the clown in "The Clown"... These props are in It doesn't look like much in real life, but it appears in horror movies, how scary the smile looks, and if I suddenly see it in Midnight Dream, I'm sure I'll be scared to death.
But the comedy elements in the movie still dilute the horror atmosphere a bit. After confirming that she would be reborn after being killed, Teri simply broke the jar and did whatever she wanted. Anyway, everything will start all over again, and no one will remember it.
So she cut her hair short and dyed it with exaggerated hair color, ran naked on campus, encouraged her ex-boyfriend to pursue true love after discovering that her ex-boyfriend was gay, raised her butt to fart without a goddess image in front of Carter, who had a crush on her...
After the indulgence, Teri unloaded the burden of her heart. She has been unable to accept her mother's death, so she escaped from reality and avoided meeting her father. Death after death finally made her understand that it is useless to escape. Only by facing it head-on and breaking it one by one can life move forward.
In the end, Terry still found the murderer who killed her. The murderer is... ahem, no spoilers, interested friends can go and have a look! The second part of "Happy Death Day" is also about to be released. The unlucky heroine once again fell into a cycle of death and embarked on a more crazy journey of seeking death... Visually, the sand sculptures are hilarious and booked.
Although there are certain logical problems in the film, for example, every time the film is set to die, the damage will accumulate on the heroine, making her unable to bear the load, but the film does not finally propose a solution to this setting. But if you don't have a brain, and just want to simply eat potato chips and popcorn and have a good time, this is definitely suitable for watching together at parties.
And the same type of time-loop movies "Terror Cruise" , "Seven Days Suddenly" , and "The Night When the Comet Came" are also very good. If you like this type, you can brush it down in one go!
