Critics Consensus

Happy Death Day puts a darkly humorous sci-fi spin on slasher conventions, with added edge courtesy of a starmaking performance from Jessica Rothe.

A different twist on your normal slasher movies. Im a chessy horror fanatic and this one I cant get enough of. Glad it is on the big screen again.

I loved this movie from the start and was like a Groundhog Day horror slasher and i just loved it. And the name Tree played by Jessica Roth is pretty interesting because like you know trees it symbolizes and that it was goofy and i love goofy slashers like my favorite but mines are like slashers or phycological horror but either way this movie is amazing and loved it

Whenever I found this movie, I was really bored and was looking for a good horror movie to watch. I wouldn't recommend this in terms of horror, but it for sure had a story like no other horror movies. I'd almost say its like if Groundhogs Day was a horror movie, but I would recommend if you are looking for something "interesting," not the very best movie but it passes time.

it is such a slay movie. so relatable. it reminds me of the time i pushed my friend out of the window but it wasnt that bad, she didnt die (but i wish she did) :P anyways i like the idea of a plot twist at the end. my heart nearly froze like the time i was on drug overdosed but im in rehab now. this movie is a good movie to distract myself from the urge to smoke. highly recommend. every time i breathed during this movie i felt like i was dreaming. i also ordered a baby mask so i could hopefully do the same (im so QuIrKy uwu).

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.

Chicago Reader

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.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Happy Death Day is a blast, a pure delight. It perfectly straddles the lines between comedy, horror, and romance, somehow juggling all of these genres to create a breezy romp of a movie. It’s a well-deserved addition to the time loop genre.

Keith & the Movies

The tongue-in-cheek approach by the filmmakers and their willingness to laugh at themselves makes this a better experience than the corny title would have you believe.
