I dont have a Happy Death Day review online, but I agree with the adjectives above-mentioned. It was one of last years surprises, and I genuinely had great fun with it. Overall, I would have rated it a B/B+, in case youre wondering. But lets get to its sequel and find out if it stood up to the originals level

Sh...

A notable step down from the first Happy Death Day but I was still pretty happy with this. There are some problems though. Calling it repetitive seems like a no-brainer, given the content, but it's not so much that 2U is doing mostly the same thing as the first one, as that it's doing the same thing as the first one, and that all of the things that are changed are worse. I didn't need an explanation or really much of anything that I saw in 2U. But I guess something had to give if Happy Death Day was going to get a sequel, and as I said, I didn't dislike this. I actually actively did like it. I just don't think it was up to the standard off the first, which even then, was good but not great.

Final rating:½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didnt quite work as a whole.

From the start, I was expecting the scenario would shift to another character, instead it went back to the main one from the first film. Plus, when I heard this sequel was in development, I assumed the plot would focus on Lori trying and failing to kill Tree through the same hilarious scenario.

Still, this was an entertaining sequel.
