Story
A step in the right direction
Honestly, DC did well with this movie. Easily their best movie since the Dark Knight trilogy. You get to see Diana learning about humanity and finding that everything isnt as cut and dry as she learned back home. The supporting cast does a great job to help teach her and bring a bit of comedy to their dire mission.

Could have been better
I feel this film got its wires crossed a little. Billed as a dark comedy, there's little to laugh at. It would have been better going down the thriller route a bit more. Kinda like single white female with a social media update. Scarily accurate in the obsession some have with social media. The ending was rather weak as well. Although overall an interesting film.

More twisted dark comedy
Series 2 follows on but has a very different feel to the first series. Some of the weirder out of context scenes from series 1 are explained here, and some truly twisted characters and storylines are introduced. Not quite as self-contained as the first series, but I presume this was due to being committed for longer so having the chance to expand and leave viewers hanging.

Jul 31, 2018 (Updated Jul 31, 2018)
Watched this horror/comedy "crazed killer" movie on Netflix(not exclusive). The cinematography was fine. The acting was over the top (purposefully, I believe). The story was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in a movie. It starts out simple enough, but just gets weirder and weirder as it goes on. The characters aren't exactly "deep". I wouldn't recommend this for kids(because of some gross scenes-your call) but if you're into dark comedy horrors, you'll enjoy this one. I managed to finish it(with a lot of eye rolling and a few chuckles). The end had me smh(goofy). It's worth a watch if you're bored.
Will (3 KP) rated Happy Death Day (2017) in Movies

Other films have tried to do the time loop plot, most successful was if course Groundhogs Day, which gets a pretty cute shout out in this film, but those other films did not have the cleverness of this film. By taking a horror plotline and injecting some dark humor and murder mystery, Happy Death Day becomes a refreshing, darkly comic, at times truly suspenseful horror film. The repeated day is done each new reset with a slightly different visual take, enough differences to keep it from being boring. The reveal of the killer was extremely shocking, at least to this reviewer. If you enjoy dark comedy and horror in the same movie I highly recommend this film

The start of a wild journey
The series follows Meredith Grey who is a surgical intern at Seattle Grace. The series gets off to a rocket start with Meredith unknowingly sleeping with an attending at the hospital the night before she starts her internship. As well as following Meredith, the show also follows the other interns who work alongside her. A lot of dark comedy as well as real world relationship and medical woes.

Horrorfying Summer
Summer of 84- is a really good comedy horror film. The plot is excellent, thoughout the movie it was creepy, scary, but also funny and dramatic.
The plot: Teenager Davey Armstrong is a conspiracy theorist who begins to suspect that a neighbour is a serial killer. With help from three friends, Davey launches a daring investigation that soon turns dangerous.
Its myesterious but also has dark humor within. I highly recordmend watching it.

Better than I actually expected
Can you have a "dark universe" in a 15/pg13 movie?
After reading plenty of reviews for the 1st movie in universals dark universe I went into my viewing expecting a car crash. I think because I went in with pretty darn low expectations it actually surprised me. The plot although although shallow kept me entertained. There is a wash of high calibre talent that has been contracted to bring this universe alive and I enjoyed Annabelle Wallis and Jake Johnson more than I did cruise . Russel crow was great imo as Jekyll and Hyde. What disappointed me most is, if this is a snapshot of how they are going to handle the rest of the universe then we're in for a very shallow light hearted take on what should be a true "dark universe" filled with legendary creatures of horror. Only time will tell.

Music, comedy & horror made a fantastic mix
To me this film will never get old. It's a fantastic mix of dark comedy and horror, with some brilliant musical numbers thrown in. The casting is spot on, Rick Moranis is perfect as Seymour and the cameos from John Candy, Bill Murray etc are all great. Best by far though has to be Steve Martin as Orin Scrivello. And Levi Stubbs brings so much to Audrey II.
The songs are ridiculously catchy, even the slower ballads. And the animatronics are really good, but would you expect any less from Frank Oz? One of my all time favourite musicals and a must see at the theatre too.
