    The Until Dawn movie looks like Happy Death Day meets Cabin in the Woods, and I am here for it? With that said, I do not know how this is in anyway related to Until Dawn the game because it doesn't follow the same characters, setting or story, so like...it is just the name.

    Ok, movie recs request: There’s a subgenre of weirdly wholesome slasher movies (final girl is saved by the power of friendship!) that are basically slasher versions of other movies. - Happy Death Day (Groundhog Day) - Freaky (Freaky Friday) - Totally Killer (Back to the Future) Recs for others?

    New Video Review for Kollywood Slasher GAME OVER (2019) Sometimes dismissed as the Indian rip-off of HAPPY DEATH DAY, it does a disservice to this slasher thriller. Shorn of the song-and-dance numbers and epic running time, it's a masterclass in taut, sustained suspense. youtu.be/Deyk2ufzSf4

    Totally Killer is fun, if a little disposable. I don’t think it’s creatively tied to them in any real way, but it feels of a piece with Happy Death Day and Freaky in that “what if a slasher starring a young girl met some other high concept film, and they had a breezy horror comedy tone?” way.

    On kind of horror interest lately. Last night I watched Black Phone, and then Timecut. Both very different films from each other—supernatural/slasher. Really enjoyed both. Timecut released a few weeks ago, and description reminded me of my all time favourite horror film Happy Death Day.

    That's the real trick, isn't it? Happy Death Day has those obvious draws of that cracking humor and the horror movie thrills and a reinvented time loop premise and all, but there's a mighty big heart beating underneath all of that.
