Happy Death Day (2017)HAPPY DEATH DAY

“…somehow, HAPPY DEATH DAY settles into its own superficiality and asks you to do the same. Give it a try!” – Deirdre Crimmins, Film Thrills

“I know comedy is difficult, but improving on that gives HAPPY DEATH DAY the kind of quality that makes it easy to recommend to just about anybody.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“…the film breaks a lot of rules, but I think that’s what makes it so endearingly different and aggressively entertaining, despite its countless flaws.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“While it won’t likely be nominated for too many awards or anything, MARSHALL is a well put together film that I’m happy to have taken the time to see.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“The film is a courtroom drama with tinges of a police procedural; the meat of the story lies with the question of what really happened on the night in question.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston

“…an absorbing drama based in fact, about a true American hero.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“I left THE FOREIGNER feeling satisfied with what was giving to me.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
