Happy Death Day (2017)
The definition of "meh" - watchable, but lots of wasted potential here. The whole show hinges on Jessica Rothe's performance, and she's excellent (so is most of the supporting cast), but otherwise there's not much here to get excited about. Concept could have taken this to some really cool places, but it was really underexplored.
Plus - and minor spoilers here, I suppose - the whole thing is surprisingly bloodless. Lots of stabbings, very little creativity in terms of kills / set pieces. Also, the ending is super lame.
Thought this would be a cool little high concept slasher for the modern day...turns out it's just another half-baked teen flick (albiet with a solid cast and a handful of decent laughs)
