With the never used-up reference to the classic Bill Murray film, this is the new age "Groundhog Day" with a twist! Young self-absorbed, sorority girl, hottie wakes up after a night of black out drinking and it just so happens to be her birthday, maybe her last. She continues her selfish life not caring about anyone but herself, only to wind up dead. Then, same morning, another death, over and over again. She basically has to put together the suspects and solve her own murder before it happens and until then, live the carnage each and every day. Since she is a total bitch, everyone is a suspect! Okay, so not the most original movie of the year, but there are some cool twists that help it along. Not to mention the deaths are pretty cool, and all of the alleged suspects are modern and refreshing in this "Clue Like" thriller. The acting was not bad, and of course the main character isnt to hard on the eyes. This movie takes the typical stereotype college scenario and gives it a fresh makeover with some horror that doesn't take itself too seriously, but not overdone on the goofiness. Give this one a shot, its an easy watch and fun. Happy Birthday!
FYI: The Baby Mask worn by the killer was designed by the same guy who designed Ghost-Face for Scream.
