Avatree Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The trailer sells it as a comedy so don't see the problem. The first film was very light and fun anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yeh I don’t want it to lose its horror connection completely though. The BloodyDisgusting review said it has though. Shame. We’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnokesLegs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I lot of the negative skewing reviews seem to be criticising it for the lack of “horror” as if the original was some classic slasher movie...I would barely call the original a horror to be honest, it was more of a mystery comedy thriller. At no point was “Baby Face” scary, so I’m actually glad it seems to be leaning more into the comedy and sci-fi route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViewerAnon Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) There's basically no horror in it - Babyface disappears for huge stretches. The movie just isn't about that. It's great, though. Witty, weird, charming, sweet. Edited February 12, 2019 by ViewerAnon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Blumhouse makes a third unless this matches the first at the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie will at worst do 110m WW. on a 9m budget. why'd it not have another sequel? they will need to shake it up and make it look like its been years after the second one, tree living a different happy life after college etc Edited February 13, 2019 by TombRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Was gonna catch Slots tonight then when checking showtimes noticed HDD2U opens tonight as well... I'll be seeing this one. First one was a lot of fun. How's this tracking? Imagine this will do well with Valentine's Day. Excellent date night choice, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you haven't refreshed in a while. It has 63 reviews and the consensus is slightly different. 65% Average Rating: 5.8/10 Reviews Counted: 63 Fresh: 41 Rotten: 22 Critics Consensus: A funnier follow-up with a sci-fi bent, Happy Death Day 2U isn't as fiendishly fresh as its predecessor, but fans of the original may still find this a sequel worth celebrating.
