Happy Death Day

Happy Death Day, directed by Christopher B. Landon, is an action thriller film containing a unique story of a college girl trying to solve her own murder. The main character, Tree, is brutally murdered one night and wakes up the next day thinking it was all a dream. The same situations play out as the day before, and yet again she is killed. She realizes she is experiencing Deja Vu and it will not stop until she can find her murderer and kill that person. She finds a nice guy named Carter along the way and wakes up in his room every day having to re-explain the situation and try to get his help. 

Carter has a huge crush on Tree and does pretty much whatever she asks him to in order to help solve her situation. When Tree finally thinks she has it figured out, she realizes that if she were to follow through with killing her murderer, it would result in killing Carter as well. She ends up letting herself die yet again in order to spare Carter. Throughout the process of dying every night, her body slowly deteriorates and she knows she only has a few nights left to figure out how to kill her murderer before she dies for real. 

Finally, Tree finds out the man who she believes to be her killer is in the hospital and she tries to kill him while he is asleep. After a lot of struggle, she ends up killing him, yet still dies that night and wakes up the next morning wondering how any of that is possible. She comes to find out that her roommate has been the murderer the whole time. She has killed her via stabbing, gun shot, and even poisoning and Tree never had any idea of how. When Tree confronts her roommate and lets her know she knows she is the murderer, they have a long action-packed fight scene that results in Tree killing her. Everything ends up working out with Tree and Carter and they start a relationship after their crazy experiences together.
