Happy Death Day 2U

(15A, 100mins)

The modestly original 2017 film Happy Death Day combined Groundhog Day and Scream to create a cheerfully daft horror movie. College student Tree (Jessica Rothe) kept waking up on the morning of her birthday and getting murdered by the end of it, and had to figure out a way of escaping this ghastly time loop. In this frenetic but sometimes amusing sequel, her life seems to have moved to a happier place when the whole thing starts happening again. Happy Death Day 2U is even more frantically self aware than the original, and lays on the wacky humour pretty thick. But it trips over its own cleverness, and forgets to be scary.
