Cinema Slut #2019 - Happy Death Day 2U

Have you ever seen a sequel to a film and wished they had a quick recap?  Like... Previously on Desperate Housewives.

Well Happy Death Day 2U delivers this and more whilst ticking so many diversity boxes along the way.



The first film was a monster smash hit, it was a huge box office success story with a tiny budget of only $4.5M. The budget was doubled (and so it should for a sequel) for this film and it still keeps the fun however delivers very few scares.

Jessica Rothe and Phi Vu are outstanding in this sequel, the characters are likeable but the sci-fi element of the film was a little off.

A third film being set up via the end of credits clip could well be in the works.

I wanted to like this a lot and I did for the most part, however it had a bit of a random plot mixing sci-fi and teen-slasher horror together and I don't know if we needed some of the tech elements.

Either way this was a big of fun escapism.

3 Stars.
