15. Happy Death Day (208 points) Why I Chose It: Happy Death Day is yet another Blumhouse success story, and has one of the most unique premises on the whole list, commonly described as "Groundhog Day meets Scream". With the film already bloomed into a bonafide slasher franchise, Jessica Rothe's character Tree Gelbman joins the decade's laundry list of lead female horror icons with her likable humor and prominent character development, defying the typical final girl tropes in another stand-out performance. FFDragon: 3 Inviso: 3 red13n: 6 PrinceKaro: 9 Suprak: 9 BetrayedTangy: 11 Plasmabeam: 12 rockus: 14 jcgamer107: 15 Johnbobb: 17 Tom Nook: 17 thesmark: 19 fortybelowsummer: 21 Lightning Strikes: 23 Snake: 29 FFDragon - Time loops and horror are my favorite genres, splashing comedy as a third. Inject all of this into my veins. Inviso - This is such a unique and interesting concept for a horror film that I just cant help but love it. Its fun, its funny, Jessica Rothe (who is NOT Blake Lively) sells her role as an obnoxious sorority girl whos slowly learning to be a good person, and to top it off, its one of the few slasher films weve watched for any of these lists where theres a mystery element to the killer. Its just more fun, trying to parse out who could possibly be behind the murder spree in the film. But yeah, between the creative method of displaying Trees empowerment (via repeated murders), and the genuinely sweet relationships we see blossoming with Carter, and rebuilt with her father, this is just an interesting horror film with a lot of heart. The big twist reveal was great too, giving her that big, climactic battle with the bad guy, only to discover the real bad guy was the friends she made along the way. Truly an enjoyable film to watch all around. Red13n - Time loops are fun, the whole loop playing out to perfection is fun, but the ultimate goal is this movie kind of spits on the concept. We get some fake conflict revealed after a false loop break and it just sucks a lot of the fun out of it. Does not help that our main character here isn't exactly someone we are rooting for. The peril of lingering loop aftereffects never feels particularly necessary, nor does the loop itself when you consider that simply eating the cupcake was all it took to path out rather than any sort of discovery in the loop itself. PrinceKaro - Some selfish college bitch who is stabbed to death by a masked hooligan gets stuck in a time loop and starts living the same day over and over. Where have we heard this before? So anyway she decides to use her infinite 1up glitch to try and solve her own murder, which she has difficulty with due to how impossibly contrived the mystery at the center of this film is. She even tries to escape by becoming a better person but that doesnt work unless you're Bill Murray. It isnt super original, but it makes the best of what it has to at least be entertaining and I guess it is better than just going the mindless slasher route? Whatever. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://www.instagram.com/horror_obscurities/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Suprak - A- Im an absolute sucker for a fun slasher movie, and Happy Death Day is fun as hell. Basically the pitch is what if Groundhog Day was a slasher/mystery instead but we try to keep as much as the comedic undertones as possible and thats what we get. Like a lot of horror/comedies, it leans a bit heavier on the comedy and there really isnt all that much horror once it becomes obvious that Jessica Rothe is in no real danger because she just keeps coming back. There is just enough here where it still feels genre appropriate, and while I wouldnt consider this a scary movie it does a good job hitting all the right beats for a while even though Jessica Rothe winds up seeming more annoyed about getting killed than anything else. Jessica Rothe here is great as Tree, which is a name so weird I remember it and I almost never remember character names in movies. Is Tree a nickname? Is her name actually fucking Tree? Im assuming it was a nickname but I dont remember her real name. Regardless of the fact her name is Tree, shes great in this. Shes great as a horror actress and a comedic actress and even a romantic actress, and its amazing she hits every single beat she needs to. Outside of MYSTERY MOVIE X on this list, I think Tree and whoever the hell the guy was happened to be the couple I wanted to wind up together the most. She carries the film, and I dont think this movie is nearly as fun if she isnt as good as she is. The rest of the cast here isnt bad, but this is the kind of movie where the lead needs to be perfect to work, and Jessica Rothe here is very close to being so. If I was looking for stuff to complain about, Id probably say that it isnt really laugh-out-loud funny (nor scream-out-loud scary for that matter) even though there were plenty of parts that made me smile. Its more fun than funny, and my favorite scene of the filim is the montage of all the weird ways shes dying as she launches her investigation. I did like the ending overall, though, and the first time I saw this the misdirect actually worked on me. I thought it was less clever than it actually was, so when the killer was random serial killer who killed Trees mom and they started wrapping things up, I was on board. The actually ending winds up being even better, and they do a nice job laying out clues so it is really obvious in retrospect. Im sure there are people who thought this was telegraphed fairly clearly early on, but I was at least caught offguard by the final reveal of her roommate. So you have the horror and mystery sort of working, and the comedy mostly working, and it is just a well executed film from the start (and I mean the literal start Im a sucker for films that play around with the opening logos a bit like this one does). This isnt the best movie on the list, but it is the one Ive watched the most and it is almost certainly the one that will have the most re-watches in my lifetime. It is just so enjoyable, even on multiple viewings, and it feels like a movie that accomplishes everything it sets out to. It isnt the scariest movie on the list, but it isnt trying to be. It also isnt the horror/comedy that digs the deepest into genre conventions or offers particularly insightful commentary on deeper things, be it societal or theatrical related issues. But, again, it isnt trying to be. There are other movies on this list that I feel like got robbed from Oscar nominations and ones that elevate the genre, but sometimes I feel like you just need room for fun and Happy Death Day is just that. Pure, well-made, well-executed, well-thought out fun, and I dont really want anything else from it. BetrayedTangy - One of my favorite things about a blind watchthrough is trying to guess whats going to happen solely based on the title and well this one took me for a loop (pun intended). I remember upon first hearing the title I had thought Wow they ran out of holidays, so now theyre doing birthdays?. Thankfully it proved me wrong and ended up being the best Holiday Horror movie out there. I think what makes HDD feel so fresh is that it takes so many exhausted tropes and spins them to better suit the tone. Take Tree for example, in any other movie shed be the typical final girl whos the most likable person in her friend group thats also intelligent enough to survive until the end. Its different in this movie though. Tree has an attitude, shes selfish and honestly not even that smart, but as the movie continues, we actually get to see her grow into this better person and only then is she able to escape the loop and figure out who the killer really is. Thats just scratching the surface of the movie though. It also has a great balance of suspense and comedy. The suspense is especially good because it doesnt stop when Tree dies, were stuck in this loop with her so we know that her killer is always coming back, but as the movie continues both Tree and the audience start seeing the comedy of the situation and get a really fun Groundhog Day montage out of it, keeping the movie moving a wonderful pace. It really is just an all-around good time that Im always happy to do a rewatch of. Plasmabeam - Fun mashup of a slasher film and Groundhog Day. Loved Tres character arc, and her actress gave a standout performance. The sequel is even better IMO. rockus - A pleasant surprise. Though the time loop concept isnt quite as novel as it used to be this still injects some fresh energy into the slasher film and comes away just fun enough and self-aware to make a good impression on me, enough so that I even made an effort to check out its sequel. And compared to some other meta self-aware horror movies on this list I found this had a lot more charisma that carried it above just being aware of horror movie tropes. Though still not as endearing as my best boys Tucker & Dale. Jcgamer107 - Here I had actually seen the sequel, and needed to go back and watch the first one - was pleased to find that both are fun and light horror comedy, with the strong whodunit element of course. I like how they finally mention Groundhog Day, at the last possible moment haha. I agree that Jessica Rothe is a very funny actress. Johnbobb - Was this the movie that launched the weird time loop kick that media of the last few years has been on? Maybe Edge of Tomorrow started it? I mean I'm not really complaining, as most of it's been good and time loops are a great method of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling, but I worry we'll soon see lazy burnout stem from it, much like the zombie craze over a decade ago. Still, Happy Death Day did it right, playing into the comedy of the situation as much as the horror, while also acknowledging its influences and presenting a great starring scream queen. If only the sequel was as good. Tom Nook - It's Groundhog Day, without the heart or good characters or growth or development; but since they say it's Groundhog Day at the end, that makes it ok right? Well, Groundhog Day is such a good concept anyway, that I'm fine with other stories taking a shot at it with different circumstances. There is nothing amazing about this movie, but it's a fun, light, brain-off kind of movie. It didn't strive for excellency, but it didn't drop the ball either. It definitely could have done a lot more though and been more interesting. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://www.instagram.com/horror_obscurities/ ...

Thesmark - A time-loop comedy but its also a slasher murder mystery is a great concept. Beyond the premise, Jessica Rothe is THE element that makes the movie enjoyable, shes charismatic and a lot of fun throughout the film as her character goes through self-growth. Speaking of which, that seems to be the thing every time-loop movie is about, although having watched both Groundhogs Day and Palm Springs before this probably makes it feel a little stale (it came out before Palm Springs). That, and the emotional elements with her parents didnt land with me at all. Still, a good time and Im surprised Rothe hasnt done more since. Fortybelowsummer - HDD is obviously a very self-aware attempt at Groundhog Day meets Scream, with not much of what makes both those movies great. This one just didnt have a lot going for it. Not very scary, not very gory, not very funny. I didnt hate it, but it felt like there were some missed opportunities and the whole bitchy-sorority-girl-suddenly-becomes-a-good-person plot had me rolling my eyes like, well, a bitchy sorority girl. Edit: After sitting on this one for a while I have actually bumped it up the list a few times. My initial review feels harsh, maybe due to being in a bad-ish mood at the time? I actually look back on it kind of fondly and Jessica Rothe does give a pretty quality performance. Lightning Strikes - Oh hey. Youre up! A really fun, vibrant take on the Groundhog Day timeloop film, mixing it with a slasher horror film. This is not the most deep or intricate film but it does effortlessly accomplish what it sets out to. The characters are likeable, theres a great lead performance by Jessica Rothe and the end twist, while easily guessable is still a fun reveal. I remember seeing the trailer for this film for the first time and being really impressed with its style and attitude along with just the premise and that all carried through to the film. And thats really it for this film, I like it quite a bit. It is somewhat unambitious, but it takes its simple premise and does it elegantly. Biggest scare: While this film is not scary, the death of the roommate is an appropriately nasty finish. Snake - So I do feel like a little bit of a dick for ranking this film this low, but it genuinely does not really do much for me. The sequel is much funnier and better knew what it was trying to be. Happy Death Day shouldve been a slam dunk for me - time loop + slasher, fuck yeah! Besides the premise though, I feel like this film plays it too safe for its own good. Its really just a generic slasher at heart. Rothe absolutely carries the movie, shes obviously a terrific actress, and completely overshadows ANY and all other characters. None of the deaths feel particularly memorable (but it is a nice touch that Tree keeps a bit of the injury from her last death), the film gets tired of its own loop after awhile, its not funny enough to keep the laughs up for me, HDD wants to have all these different tones and genres in it but the execution of them all is milquetoast at best. I liked it more when I first watched it but it didnt really hold up or stand the test of time for me. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

There's what I'd consider one more really fun movie left on the list, so I have to assume that's the next to go. Happy Death Day did better than I thought it would, honestly. I wasn't sure how many people were going to rank it high considering the competition. It is one I could've seen going out early so a top half finish is pretty solid. Like I said, of all the movies on this list, either this one or the other fun movie left are probably going to get the most repeat viewings from me. I've seen this one several times already and the re-watch this time still holds up. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion." ...

Just one? Surely Ready or Not, Tucker and Dale and Cabin in the Woods all qualify as fun. Its a flawed distinction though. Nothing stops a film from dealing with serious issues snd also being a fun time, the Peele movies embody this best for me.

Not entirely related to this list but I feel like The Mummy has to be one of the biggest misfires of the whole decade and it feels like it should be laughed at more. I tried watching the movie once and quit after 5 minutes. And I like Tom Cruise, even if he's not an actor whose movies I actively seek out. Maybe its relative lack of impact on anyone's careers and reputation being little more than "another failed cinematic universe" helps? Still find it interesting how Alex Kurtzman seems to get more hate for his Star Trek work than an actually poorly-received film. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ...

Suprak the Stud posted... There's what I'd consider one more really fun movie left on the list, so I have to assume that's the next to go. I'd argue there are a few "fun" movies left, depending on what you consider "fun." That said, I'm thrilled HDD made it into the Top 15. I thought it would be lucky to survive till #20 with the way these ranking have been playing out. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Lightning Strikes posted... Just one? Surely Ready or Not, Tucker and Dale and Cabin in the Woods all qualify as fun. That's a fair point. Get Out and Us both had some fun elements to them. I believe what people are saying, though, is that most of the eliminated movies had fun premises or tones, whereas most of the remaining movies are more severe/brainy/artsy. I'm just thankful we booted Girl Walks Home when we did. I was afraid that would crack the Top 10. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

From what I've read about Get Out the film basically seems like a live-action political cartoon. Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that, but I've seen some very vocal YouTube commenters state that the movie is "a plot-hole ridden mess of a political lecture" and also slate the film for supposedly being anti-white. Ugh. Also TBH typically movies that center around race don't interest me a whole lot, although recent real-world events have inspired me to look into them. Although that might only relate to movies explicitly about race since I'm pretty sure I came across one YouTube channel (Extra Credits?) that did quick analyses of films and noted how my favorite movie Aliens could be interpreted as being about race in a sense since the film is basically Vietnam in space. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ...

Blaziken is also me/Espeon. And I'm going to guess Tucker & Dale at this point. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard!

More to the original point I think fun was referring to the more lighthearted tone, which Ready or Not, Tucker and Dale, and Cabin in the Woods have. You can also describe fun as the experience of watching it - Train to Busan and A Quiet Place have serious tones but are real thrill rides. Then you have stuff like the Peele films which are satire and theres fun in that. Basically, I think that Suprak means lighthearted horror films and Inviso mainly doesnt like Aster, Eggers and possibly Kent. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ...

I guess I try to take all opinions as seriously as possible but yeah something that blatantly politicized is probably a huge red flag. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ugh.Get Out is basically the best of the films he has made (US is atrocious and I dunno how he could screw up Candyman the way he did). The ending was interesting how he decided to do it though. I am not sure if it was better that way or not. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik PSN User Name - Corrik7 Currently playing: Control (X1) ... Copied to Clipboard!
