Happy Death Day isn't particularly scary, and clearly isn't meant to be - the pleasure lies in the games it plays with its basic storyline, along the way tossing in enough offbeat humour and whodunnit twists to keep us entertained.

If you can't enjoy [Happy Death Day], give up on film.

On another level, Happy Death Day is a low-key celebration of cinema. Landon and Lobdell revel in how their story could only happen in the movies, piling on preposterous complications with self-aware glee.

It's about time we had a fun, fast, and femme-led time loop movie for this millennium. The slasher is easy, breezy, and deadly as it wastes no time getting to its end game.
