- SERAFINA BASCIANO - 4 TicksIn this funnier sequel to the 2017 slasher flick with a sci-fi bent, college student Tree wakes up to find herself stuck in a parallel universe, where everyone is a different version of themselves.

Somewhate mirroring the first instalment, she finds herself the target of a masked murderer whom she must confront and stop. Only this time, the lives of her inner circle are threatened too, so she resigns herself to die over and over again to stop the killer. Once again, the sequel's cavalier treatment of suicide as a form of humour remains a little distasteful.

Ironically, all the plot holes, illogical writing, repetitiveness and heavy reliance on slapstick shtick miraculously work in its favour. While certainly no piece of art, Happy Death Day 2U nonetheless succeeds as undemanding entertainment - and one that does not mind taking jabs at itself.
