I think I'll catch this one! I'll find it! Have you guys seen Death Note? Also, see Stir of Echoes! And what else? The Possession! For reasons! Yep!

[@MonteBurns1234]

Why was my comments deleted?

[@MonteBurns1234]

I suggested the sequel and to mayhe try The Babysitter and it's sequel if you liked this.

[@MrRight...]

Have you guys watched the spartacus tv series??

[@MrRight...]

@@xl081 facts. They need to watch it.

[@sfrink1425]

If you liked it, you should definitely watch the sequel. Yes, there's a sequel. And it doesn't suck. It actually explained a lot!

[@petrinafilip96]

It's very different compared to the original but also very good.

[@TheMinarus]

Heh....Was sorta all over the place and sort of bloated but yea it was ok

[@RS-bn1ty]

I think the only thing I disliked about the sequel is who the enemy was

[@got2bjosh]

It was fine. Not nearly as good, focused, or charming as the original. Freaky was better.

[@circlenowsquared]

They know there's a sequel, they might watch it if their community votes for it in movie night!

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

Nikki is just one of my favorite people! She's got a mouth like a sailor, when the tears well-up in her eyes she lets them fall, and she's got the biggest and most solid heart of gold.

[@ClassicNikki]

OMG you're so sweet, thank you!!! ❤

[@vivacious_me]

Truth! ❤

[@MamadNobari]

She's on the same top 5 of your favorite people ever next to Jesus Christ?

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

@@MamadNobari did I say top 5? Did I mention Jesus? No. And no - not that Jesus wouldn't hold a special place, however eccclesiatics and secular are separate. I'm NOT a religious person. A Believer, ABSOLUTELY. Spiritual, yes, to a degree. But unlike a lot of Americans these days, and people from Central and South America, the Middle East, Eurasia, and Africa... I'm a secularist. So I don't mix religious ideology, icons, motifs, or anything else into my social interests/existence and pop culture.

@@FLQueerLiberal1982 Alright dude jeez, I wasn't trying to Spanish inquisition you.

[@Indiana_Minotaur]

Happy Death Day definitely stands out as a unique horror film. Something about its formula at first glance your just like: "Okay this is stupid" but over time the film somehow makes it interesting and legitimately wins over the audience so much that a sequel got made! GG to the cast and crew who were involved in this!

[@moopotatokimchi]

I just dropped everything for this

Me too💜

[@chrisbell9075]

Ditto. Love this movie.. So original..

[@thomasbaker2067]

I like that we are meant to hate Tree, but also cheer for her to survive her birthday.

[@UnveiledAngel]

And cheer for her to grow.

[@thehitman6963]

I disagree She’s a very relatable character to most young women in late teens and early 20’s. Maybe with older people.

[@theultimatewarlord69420]

Throughout her life-or-death struggle for survival, she matures, and has a more brighter and positive view of life, and especially her own livelihood too. The concept that’s not just about deja vu (Groundhog Day) but also a full, consistent redemption arc through her having to become a fearless survivor and fighter to officially defeat Babyface, along with improved intelligence, determination, gaining the will to live, and striving for forgiveness in all her heart and soul (this is such a tremendous journey of a coming-of-age character development), and in this context, Tree transformed from a depressing and arrogant female to someone with a majority of the positive human qualities, such as her being someone who became wholehearted and cultivated and instilled the humanity, colourfulness, good-nature and emotions within her that was blocked out and she was devoid of before the life-changing event. For movies, this premise is my all-time personally greatest concept ever thought of, and I cherish it - which is why this movie is in my top 10 greatest movies of all time, if not top 5! This had led her to becoming someone undeniably, without a doubt, with all redeeming attributes, worthy of love, trust, honour, life, respect, community, etc. Not only does she have a changed outlook on life and wants to openly and freely live her life to the fullest with the people she really truly cares about, she is also very knowledgeable about the arts of battle as she has been in 1 supposedly endless cycle of it herself with a nightmare

[@simplymaterial]

This franchise is SO great!!! Please watch the sequel too, it's actually a sequel that's really good, AND explains why the day reset for her in the first place!

[@matsdaggerx3141]

Same film making team did "Freaky" with Vince Vaughn! It's funny, scary and with a bit more gore. It's a fun movie if you want to check it out! Great reaction!

[@petrinafilip96]

Freaky is so underrated

[@got2bjosh]

Agreed, Freaky was better than Death Day's sequel.

[@Joker_JAK]

And the same director is doing Scream 7.

[@melomagiko123]

Yes! This and 'Freaky' is siblings! Fun and good!

[@youyeedyourlasthaw]

@@Joker_JAKwait is it radio silence?

[@variable57]

Awesome! I was gonna say you’ll hate Tree at first then you guys will love her, that actress nailed that role

[@chrisbell9075]

Agreed. This is like either her first film or one of her first & like you said, she knocks it out of the park. You have to be pretty good to do nearly the same stuff over & over again the way she does. Love her in this movie..

[@Chris4813]

You should watch Forever My Girl

[@windowsVD]

@@chrisbell9075 This was actually far from her first film, but it was her first lead role in a bigger studio movie. She had made a living as a working actress playing extras or small supporting roles in bigger shows and films like La La Land, and had only played lead roles in very small indie films before this. She was actually 30 years old when she did this film, but the benefit was that she was already a fairly experienced actress who happened to look younger, so she was likely better equipped to play this role at age 30 than she would have been when she was actually Tree’s age.

[@gabilukow7153]

Is cool ❤❤

[@existenceisrelative]

_Please_ watch the sequel! It goes from horror-comedy to wacky-sci-fi but i still love it _soo_ much!

[@michelle6337]

This was such a fun twist on the Groundhog Day plot, and I love Tree's character development throughout the movie. The sequel is also really good and does some clever things to expand the story.

[@drlee2]

Good movie. Jessica Rothe was superb as Tree. Also, Danielle was a hilarious scene-stealer. One of my favorite horror movies of the 2010s. The comedy elements actually worked, too. Happy Death Day and Krampus are 2 recent films that do a great job combining horror and comedy.

[@SE-gs6gd]

I randomly watched this movie on Amazon one day and it was really good! The sequel is also good- I think maybe even better than the original. Good choice

[@necroxisz]

Seconded! The sequel is amazing. It embraces how absurd its premise is and does so many fun things with it

[@got2bjosh]

Nah, the sequel is not all that. If it was, they would've made a third film. It underperformed critically & commercially.

[@SE-gs6gd]

@@got2bjosh I liked it

[@got2bjosh]

@@SE-gs6gd So did I, but it wasn't as good. Overwritten climax & third act trying to actually solve the logic. No need. Freaky was better.

cool thanks for that shit opinion@@got2bjosh

[@shainewhite2781]

LOVE THIS MOVIE! Groundhog Day meets Scream! Be sure to watch HAPPY DEATH DAY 2 U. A third and final film is in development, HAPPY DEATH DAY TO US, but it may take a while till its in theatres as the sequel underperformed at the box office.

[@Marukanitel]

Sad, because I really liked the sequel. 😅

[@KernouProduction]

just finished both the films tonight! may i say the first was excellent, and the sequel was good too but it leaned more into comedy than the first right? The 1st definitely felt more like a strong horror movie.

[@jessicarodriguez8990]

This movie was a pleasant surprise for me when I first saw it. It was amazing how the main girl could go from being the mean girl to the girl your rooting for. Plus, the way she pulls off a person’s response to living the day over and over and make it look believable. Well done! The twist too got me as well. Hope you guys react to the sequel, it’s a fun one.

[@FreyaofCerberus]

I genuinely love this movie and it's sequel so much. It could have been a flash in the pan gimmicky horror story but the actors (particularly the lead) give it so much heart that it really stuck with me. Glad you liked it, please please please do the sequel!!

[@ephy9590]

Watching this reaction made me want to watch Happy Death Day 2U again! I'm glad you guys had fun with this movie. It's a great camp movie. It makes you laugh, it pisses you off, it's a slasher AND a romcom, Jessica Rothe is fantastic as Tree and the other actors are solid too, and groundhog day is always a fun trope! I hope you guys watch the second one, on the channel or not (but I'll be here if you do record a reaction).

[@DanielSelk]

I LOVE Happy Death Day and it's sequel Happy Death Day 2U. A great mix of comedy/horror/drama. I didn't expect it to be touching in a couple scenes =)

[@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770]

45:23 In the US, it’s not murder if you can prove that you really had no choice but to kill the attacker. In that case, it’s considered justified.

[@MrsProudlyCanadian]

You should definitely react to the sequel. And soon, while this one is still fresh in your memory. They do a great job of making it feel like it was filmed at the same time and not 2 years later

[@stubbornscorpio7]

I did not expect this to be so fun thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you watch the sequel.

[@jcee8493]

The 1st recommendation right under the video when we finished watching the watch-along was Groundhog Day.

[@taags]

Very underrated movie. Its nice to see the lead characters growth. Not something you usually see in horror movies.

[@MrSebby13]

Never stop doing reactions guys, The world wouldn't make sense if you did.

[@chrisbell9075]

I absolutely love this movie. I absolutely love the fact that they name her Tree & throughout the movie you watch her slowly "grow" from this awful person into such a great one.. That actress kills it.. Thank you two for reacting to this. If you want it to make somewhat more sense, or to at least see the story added on to a bit &, like others have said, to understand this whole thing a bit more, I highly recommend you guys check out 'Happy Death Day 2 U', the sequel to this. I really liked it.. *Btw, Idk if you guys skipped thru it or not at the very begining, but the ever-repeating Universal logo (the Earth & the music for it) continuously starting & stopping in repetition with that record player scratch cracks me up everytime once you know what the movie is about..lmao.❤✌🏻

[@TheLegendOfRandy]

I loved this movie so much that I literally re-watched it right after the credits. I know it's not popular, but I like the sequel even more.

[@Sffhjjngtggb]

“Ode to my father” it has every element to be a good movie… you won’t be disappointed!

[@dylanaxel2723]

The chocolate milk being poured on Danielle is hilarious to me, she watches it happen but doesn’t do anything

[@MsSwthrt102]

The shock of chocolate 🤣

[@mchllwoods]

does anyone else use KZbin's CC when they watch these videos? they display crazy sentences mainly from the movies then the reactors. When Tree says, "If I don't reset this day, he's gone forever." KZbin CC displays, "If I don't reset his dick, its gone forever." LMFAO!!!😂🤣😂🤣

[@j030977]

I loved this movie, very unexpected. I appreciate the fact that they didn't stray from the "Groundhog Day" elements, but blatantly used every trope in that film. The second one is fun too.

[@katwebbxo]

Honestly I didn't expect much from this movie when it came out but I really enjoyed it when I got around to watching it. 💕

[@69firefly]

The sequel is just as good. Also check-out Boss Level, another Groundhog Day style film.

[@theultimatewarlord69420]

Throughout Tree’s life-or-death struggle for survival, she matures, and has a more brighter and positive view of life, and especially her own livelihood too. The concept that’s not just about deja vu (Groundhog Day - overall, the whole time loop concept) but also a full, consistent redemption arc through her having to become a fearless survivor and fighter to officially defeat Babyface, along with improved intelligence, determination, gaining the will to live, and striving for forgiveness in all her heart and soul (this is such a tremendous journey of a coming-of-age character development), and in this context, Tree transformed from a depressing and arrogant female to someone with a majority of the positive human qualities, such as her being someone who became wholehearted and cultivated and instilled the humanity, colourfulness, good-nature and emotions within her that was blocked out and she was devoid of before the life-changing event.

If I can take 2 life lessons away from the 2017 movie, not the 2019 one (which kind of bored me out despite it being action-packed just like the first movie was, because Tree had already conquered the darkness that had been consuming her mentality and sympathy and/or empathy by the end of the 2017 movie (and now she looks forward to hanging out with people and sharing her adventurous life with them), there wasn’t much to look forward to afterwards), it would be that people should learn from their failures and always move forward and never give up, fall down or turn back (and do this to become a better version of yourself so that your fearful past will not catch up to you), and that you are all stronger than you believe yourselves to be - that you can certainly overcome your fears and demons, even create a sustainably successful future, with enough determination and passion, and by striving for victory and channeling in your inner warrior spirit. It’s time to take back your right to live your own life by breaking your shackles, and fight to become unstoppable champions - overcome and conquer the darkness, and fill up that dark, empty void, within you!

Ruby Modine is great in this! She is the daughter of Matthew Modine aka Papa on Stranger Things!

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

In the sequel you'll find out what "has to do with it," and... well, I'll let you decide whether it's a good answer to that question or not.

[@BrightNeonBrilliancy]

I love the character of Tree. She isn't a cookie cutter final girl who is perfect, sweet and innocent.

[@Mckatt11]

Fun fact: The character of Lori the roommate is played by Ruby Modine, who is the daughter of Matthew Modine from stranger things (Papa).

[@alib7775]

I went into this movie with low expectations and was pretty blown away by it. So good

[@sanyadek]

The second one is great too. More comedy oriented, but also builds on the character of Tree.

[@dubirdrs]

Ok, you also need to watch Freaky. It's basically in the same 'universe' and just as entertaining as this one is!

[@Nexils]

The 'baby sounds' are indeed baby sounds. They're Bear McCreary's - the composer - daughter who was a toddler at the time.

[@alecLogan]

40:07 Think that was to make sure he survives, and if anything, being threatened by a complete stranger would enforce that he gets backup instead of just saying he would and forgetting. 41:36 In fairness, he had a weapon, and was winning for the first half, so self-defense. 45:31 Super self-defense.

[@xmichaelwood]

I love how you go from hating Tree to rooting for her and loving her by the end. What an awesome character arc done in just a single film! Watch part 2 as it picks up right after this one! It's crazy too!

[@grudge6648]

The sequel is an absolute must. This one is only the first half of the story. You won’t be disappointed

[@emmslm2827]

I love this movie - such a good mix of humour and horror! I hope you do the sequel as well which is pretty good too. Also as it’s going into Oct would love to recommend a reaction to The Final Girls (2015) which is also horror/comedy/cult classic.

[@circlenowsquared]

Seconded, The Final Girls is such an underrated movie, it's excellent!

[@tsukishirou]

i remember watching this at the cinema, this movie was and is unexpectedly really good and her character development is just chef's kiss~

[@jthomann71]

This is one of the most underrated horror movies in recent memory. The sequel is just as good but way different. It was supposed to set up a third and final movie completing the trilogy but the asshats in charge never greenlit it.

[@leroyd3480]

It was great seeing you reacting to this gem. It's one of my all time favorite movies. 😂 The second one is really good as well and presents one heck of a twist.

[@purpleclaws202]

24:25 This is very accurate for a hospital actually especially at night lol. Its cold, dark with little staff

[@countgeekula9143]

Love the Happy Death Day movies. Such fun. Jessica Rothe is brilliant as Tree. She should be a huge star. Christopher Landon who made these also did Freaky which is in a similar vein and is great fun too.

[@BostonAmy]

I LOVE this movie. It's so fun. Jessica Rothe absolutely nailed this role. She carries the movie, which depends on us hating yet rooting for Tree. It's a silly movie but it includes every genre and she literally encompasses every single human emotion.

[@MasterRiffics]

I love these sort of movies it had a slow start but got better as the movie went on, you should watch happy death day 2 next as well

[@warriorfella]

The guy who wrote and directed this also did Freaky (2020). Freaky is a goodie

[@MarkBuschhaus]

Watch the sequel as long as u have the first one in your memory. The sequel is really good too!

[@Zakoinmo]

no way !!! literally a week ago I rewatched the movie and was like did nikki and Steven react to it? and now i have the reaction ! I love you guys really 💜💜

[@Replicaate]

I love this movie, cos I also love anything w a good time loop. Plus it’s perfect to watch w almost anyone - it’s funny enough that people who don’t normally watch horror moves aren’t put off, and scary/bloody enough that people like me who love horror don’t feel let down.

[@ChiefAWES0ME]

After seeing this for the first time, I noticed I really dig time loop movies. Maybe it's because of growing up with video games where you keep dying, but doing the same level till you finally beat it. Idk. But I love time loop movies.

[@RaptorNX01]

Absolutely love this movie. it was such a surprise. Tree has an amazing character arc that creates this really well done redemption story. The humor and the scares were both on point. I also did love the twist and thought it was done well, tho part of me wishes they hadn't done it, because the previous day was so perfect. I think it might have been better if the roommate reveal had happened that night. like she attacked or something. just anything to more reset that day. but its a minor thing. and I will add to the chorus that you really need to do the sequel.

[@Nevyn515]

The only part of this movie that breaks my suspension of disbelief is that at an American campus there is only one single gun… And that gun contains exactly 3 bullets. I guess more available guns or the magazine was full it would have been less fun. The rest of this movie is great, it’s pretty much Groundhog Day but as a college slasher movie, which was a great idea and a fun film.

[@Survivor2002]

And here's the best part: HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U is the sequel you didn't know you needed!

[@AndieO]

One of my favorite slasher/comedies of recent years. I've watched this and it's sequel a couple of times each. So much fun. ❤
