The Happy Death Day series is definitely not a sci-fi movie, and anyone who sees it as a sci-fi movie is too easy to lose. Why are you so serious? The theme of this series continues the consistent tradition of Hollywood thriller comedy films, its predecessors are "Death Is Coming", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Scream".
There are guidelines for good popcorn movies in Hollywood.
1. You don’t need to take your head to see it.
2. You should feel happy.
3. Not boring.
Failure to meet these three points does not meet the criteria for a good popcorn movie.
Big productions such as "Transformers 345" and "Pacific Rim 2", and small productions such as a lot of bad domestic films, I can't give examples one by one. These movies make people sleepy, and that's not the main thing.
The main thing is this: when you're in the mood for a funny popcorn movie, then go for them, and they still have the magic to make you sleepy.
But the director of the Happy Death Day series knew what he was doing and what the audience who came to see the movie were coming for. So he doesn't need to burn his brain, let alone a self-righteous movie analysis enthusiast to analyze various details in the movie.
You only need to feel the interesting elements that are worthy of your happiness, complain, and mindless under the command of the director and screenwriter.
Is it simple? No, I don't think it's easy, a lot of movies can't do it right now. Especially in today's Hollywood, there is a lack of such elements of returning to the basics. Big productions often like to make the plot deep and dark, and they have to mix elements such as family affection, righteousness, dialectics, etc. in 120 minutes... No, it's not enough, 200-230 minutes? ? In the big vat, so that the audience can not feel the joy, or the original movie viewing fun.
I know that the sentence I said below will get a lot of people to criticize me, but I don't think so, because my self-talking movie reviews are always uninteresting.
What I'm talking about is: Women's Federation 4, and all the series of the Women's Federation, is the biggest fall in Hollywood at present. The Women's Federation is a movie that wears the most gorgeous coat of this era, but has the most rotten and boring core. fan movie? No, this is not a fan movie, a movie like the Women's Federation will sooner or later be nailed to the pillar of shame in movie history.
I'd rather have Happy Death Day, Mr. Glass, movies with original purpose (or no-brainer fun, or certified logic.) to continue in the future.
