Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2

Watched the two movies last night back to back. Originally, I thought it was going to be just another teenage horror slasher movie.

Basically, they took the concept of Groundhog Day and added in elements of horror slasher movie. The sequel explained the reasons for why it is happening by adding more comedy and sci-fi element.

The first movie was a better movie as the concept works better without explaining the reasons why it is happening. The comedic portion are also more natural and more towards darker humor. The second movie was still entertaining in a way but the plot got lost towards the end. There were more comedic portion but less successful compared to the first one. However, the best part was the way the lead actress killed herself repeatedly.

For the first movie I give a rating of 7 out of 10 while the second movie I give a rating of 6 out of 10.

Overall, not a bad way to kill about 3 hours of your time.
