Should I know what "Happy Death Day" is?

 

[Legacy]

So, I'm curious. How many times does the day reset in the film Happy Death Day?

Should I know what "Happy Death Day" is?

Only in the sense that it's Groundhog Day with a slasher.

Unclear. There are a bunch of montages that imply many resets are off-screen... but definitely in the dozens.

With the (mostly) negative reaction the announcement for this house has received, I hope the actors cast here have a chip on their collective shoulder and make the best of their situation.

I think a cast of great actors can more easily make up for a poorly-designed house than a well-designed house can make up for a sub-par cast. I'm not necessarily saying this house will be poorly-designed, I'm exaggerating things a bit in order to make a point.

Even though this is at the bottom of my anticipation list this could actually be really good, especially if they make it as intense as last year’s. Really glad they’re doing 2 properties this time instead of 3 since HDD & TFP have too much content to get the same treatment as Sinister last year.

Curious to see how they do the Tunnel Kill & Frat Party Kill for HDD; the latter will be really cool to see with all of the neon lights

As a fan of last year's version, I can't complain all too much - but I am soooo over the Purge.

I have a feeling this year's is going to be very cast reliant again, however. The IPs are not all that appealing to me, especially, Purge for the 6th year in a row.

If I had my choice to pick my own Horror's of Blumhouse lineup, it would either be...

Supernatural Theme - Paranormal Activity, Ouija, and The Gift
Found Footage Theme - Paranormal Activity, The Visit and Creep

 

[happy bunny rabbit]

Found Footage Theme - Paranormal Activity, The Visit and Creep

That would be a fantastic lineup. Maybe even include a Sinister room or two.

 

[Legacy]

My dream Blumhouse lineup-

Whiplash, Sleight, Jem and the Holograms

See, now that lineup sounds truly, truly outrageous....alright I'll see myself out

 

[JungleSkip]

Supernatural Theme - Paranormal Activity
Found Footage Theme - Paranormal Activity

Thrill as you walk through rooms where doors slowly close and rocking chairs rock on their own!

(God I hate the PA movies)

I completely agree...but if they can make Unfriended work, they can make anything work.


Bring on the Benji house.

Last year's house benefited from a great cast and great design work on a structural level. Lots of tight turns and short hallways, which you need to deliver scares to a conga line. Hated Purge as an IP, was agnostic on the other two (can't even remember what the third beside Insidious was) but still came away impressed with the house.

Also, my friends' high school-aged kids ate Blumhouse and Saw up--I'm ok with having houses primarily directed at different demographics.
