Earthbound version of "Groundhog Day"

I gave two stars.

One star is given to this one-day robbery type film, and the one-day robbery mode of this film is Earthbound.

One star for the film's innovation: the main point of view focuses on ghosts rather than strangers.

Except for the excellent rhythm that goes straight to the theme at the beginning and breaks the cycle, the rest of this film is all a mess.

Neither scary nor suspenseful.

The villain's origins are old-fashioned, the process of being defeated is ambiguous, and the ending is naturally very old-fashioned.

After the smooth rhythm that went straight to the theme at the beginning, the plot progressed too slowly, and the mess was endless, which was really unpleasant.

A film like this that has a theme pointed out from the beginning is quite ugly if the subsequent rhythm can't keep up.

Haunter quotes

  • Lisa: It's like mom's pancakes. Every morning she makes them for breakfast. And you're always trying to fix the car, which for some mysterious reason has always stopped running. Then Mac & Cheese for lunch. Then we have meatloaf for dinner. Every night. At 8:00 we watch Murder She Wrote. We go to bed, wake up tomorrow, and do exact same thing.

    Bruce: Well you have school tomorrow, and I have work, so...

    Lisa: There is no school. There is no work.

    Carol: Then what about your birthday, that's not tomorrow either?

    Lisa: No. It never comes. It's always the day before I turn 16. It's pretty frustrating.

  • Carol: Lisa, you haven't even touched your meatloaf.

    Lisa: Meat is murder.
