This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Time Loops

There are quite a lot of time loop movies; there are comedic ones, action adventure ones and horror ones. I’m going with horror. My picks are all movies I have not picked for previous TMPs.

Happy Death Day (2017)
The Gist: In this horror comedy, a college girl is trapped in a time loop that occurs on her birthday which is also when she dies. I’m quite surprised that I have not picked the original before even though I have picked the sequel for a TMP like 2 years ago. This, the original, is the better funnier movie.

The Final Girls (2015)
The Gist: A teen girl and her friends are transported into a horror summer camp movie, which her deceased mother starred in as the final girl, that loops itself when movie running time ends. I really wanted to love this movie. It is fun, but I didn’t quite love it. I think if you love Scream, you’d want to check The Final Girls out as it has the whole thing where the characters are aware of the rules of the horror genre and that gave some funny scenes.

Haunter (2013)
The Gist: A teen girl tries to uncover the truth to why she and her family gets stuck on the same day again and again. Unlike the first two which are horror comedies, this is more of plain horror and I remember this the least. I think the acting here wasn’t that good and the production value was quite low.

  3. I have to see Happy Death Day. I have not seen the other 2 and, unless they are on tv, I probably won’t but maybe the 2nd film is worth seeing.

    1. I know you don't like horror, but the first two are horror comedies...they're light on the scares.

  4. I see you went for the spooky route with the theme! I want to watch Happy Death Day eventually, but I rather stay away from horror.

  5. The Final Girls sounds like it would be 100% down my alley. Gotta add that one to my to-watch list!
