Ah yes, the horror variation of Groundhog day, Happy Death Day was
a surprising movie when it came out, it was funny and refreshing, i had a lot of fun time watching it.
So what does the follow up do to change things up? Well, that's the problem, it isn't doing anything except for filling in the gap as to why there is a loop to begin with which removes any ambiguity or mystery from the first installment.
At first i thought the movie would go a different route all together with the switch where the Asian looking actor would be in a loop, or perhaps create a infinite paradox, but it only became like an extension of what the first movie did.
I was fine with the acting and phasing of this movie but it feels like there could have been so much more done with the concept than what we got in the final product.
