Happy Death Day 2U is a great follow up to the surprise first film taking the series in a new direction. This movie is about Tree who gets stuck in another time loop with a new killer after them. Jessica Rothe gives a fantastic performance. She carries this entire movie on her shoulders and is extremely funny and charismatic. Israel Broussaed gives a great performance with his role slightly expanded this time. He still has incredible chemistry with Rothe and is an equally compelling character himself. Phi Vu gives a good performance in a significantly larger role but sometimes his character is a bit annoying. Rachel Matthews is a lot of fun in a small supporting role. Christopher B. Landon does a great job directing. He brings the right amount of tension when it's needed while letting his actors do most of the work. The script is fantastic but different than what you might expect. While the first film was a horror comedy this movie almost completely ditches the horror element and becomes a sci-fi comedy. At 100 minutes the pacing is great. Once the setup is over this movie does not stop moving. Overall, Happy Death Day 2U was a fun and unique sequel and I hope we get a third film.
8/10
