It's a half-hour Twilight Zone episode dragged out to 90 minutes. The plot has been recycled, you won't be surprised by the ending, and you've seen it done better before. There should be a special hell reserved for people who give these mediocre efforts pumped up ratings to mislead viewers.
This movie dragged on for far too long. Honestly, unlike most,I did not see the end coming, but, like most, was confused as heck anyway because it raised more questions than it answered. The couple was rather annoying and unlikeable. I actually started to look forward to seeing their demise. Irritatingly, despite KNOWING what will occur, the guy doesn't try in any major way to stop it. ONE HUNDRED times!!!! Never explains anything satisfactorily to his girlfriend, never makes a concerted effort to alter events (well,once, when he just convinced her to stay in the room all day. Insert eye roll).

Closest comparison I can think of is Happy Death Day 2U, and if you haven't seen that, just think Groundhog Day with a murder/horror theme. At its best it was merely OK but got sort of boring starting around the middle and for me there wasn't really a payoff with the ending to make up for it.
So stupid... The whole plot (if you can call it that) was a scam. The whole movie was painfully slow and dull. Nothing really happens throughout the whole movie. When the ending finally came the first thing I asked myself was, I waited all this time for that? The story just stunk! Very low budget and it shows. This is the kind of junk you expect on cable channel 600+ at 3 am. I felt totally ripped off.
Some may describe this movie as a slow burner with a shock ending. I would describe it as a no burner with no surprise. If you didn't see the end coming, you must have been scrolling.
I actually got angry when the alarm went off. It was like living in a nightmare!

I've seen several movies that do a twist on the Groundhog Day theme. Most have been pretty decent. Not this one! OMG, I didn't like either of these people from the get go. They never once seemed to be compatible. The plot was a mess and by the end I didn't care who was doing what to whom and why.

It was a chore to sit through these 90 minutes. Over-acted and too ambiguous of a story. The way the scenes were overlaid was bizarre.
The only positive attribute is that the film setting made me think of my enjoyable trip to New England years back.

Several things in this film are not explained properly and so it ends, and you're just like, 'huh?'
Far too many plot holes here for this to be good. Dragged the film so much, wasting time on useless scenes when they could have been developing the story more. Waste of time.

No words. Stole the premise from numerous live die repeat movies and produced nothing.
It's is the worst movie I've seen. Hopefully karma makes the director and those giving >2 watch it every day!

From the summary you'd think this was an at least half-interesting horror movie. Turns out it's not interesting and hardly a horror movie. Quite dull and empty.
This movie took a familiar theme (reliving the same day) and made it creepy, thrilling and a little gross! It keeps you guessing and wondering what is really going on until the end. Great performances from a largely unknown (to me at least) cast, that I'm sure has big things coming in the future. I definitely recommend! I'm going to check out director Craig Singer and writer Robert Dean Klein's other work right now!
Bobby and Jules take a trip to a guest house on a small, quiet island, in a bid to mend their troubled relationship, unfortunately their romantic break turns into a recurring nightmare.
Why on Earth does this film have such pitifully low reviews, I just don't get it, ok, so it's not brilliant, and it's a theme that has been done before, several times, but for a low budget horror, i thought it was quite effective.
Imagine if Groundhog Day had no budget at all, and they decided to turn it into a horror, making it with a very artsy style. I quite enjoyed the ending, not what I was expecting.
There are several decent scares, and the masked figure looks pretty scary, I'd be lying if I said it was brilliant, but it's a decent, effective, low budget horror thriller.
Decent acting, it looks pretty good too.
7/10.

This movie is low-quality in almost every way. It feels completely amateur and incompetent. The acting is awful, the dialogue is laughable, the story is nonsense. There are are so many stupid moments and things that make zero sense. Nothing about this movie works. It has no redeeming qualities. It's a complete waste of time. When it finished I burst out in laughter at how truly horrendous this movie is. One of the worst I've ever seen. (1 viewing, 3/26/2022)
Absolutely a rip off of another movie concept. That's okay, it happens a lot, but this one didn't work. I didn't even finish watching it because it's so bad, and not bad as in good...bad as in bad. I will say that the scenery is very nice, I like wherever it was filmed and may look it up for a visit. I sort of liked the actors themselves, but the plot, characters, and everything else in my opinion absolutely abysmal. The three quarters of the movie I did make it through I kept waiting for something, anything, else to happen that made it different but that just did not come to fruition. Best to avoid this one.

While on vacation in a small town, a man and his fiancee are subject to a debilitating supernatural phenomenon where they repeat the day over and over again where they're both killed by a maniac and only he's aware of it, forcing him to find the cause of the situation to stop it from continuing.
This was a rather disappointing and underwhelming genre effort. One of the few enjoyable features here comes from the deaths that take place which reset the storyline over and over again. These are usually quite fun, resulting in some shocking ambushes with the figure emerging out of nowhere to slash her across the throat in graphic means with the way the resulting blood flow providing some solid enough gore in this type of story. The fact that they always have to happen with the ambush nature they do makes them appear out of nowhere and come off quite well which makes for a surprising turn of events as they come about in the film. With the number of times that occurs throughout here helping this even more, there's a lot to like with these scenes as a whole. However, there are a lot of flaws that hold this one down. One of the biggest problems is the rather bizarre inability of the film to make the time-loop scenario really mean anything since this one tends to have no point in undergoing the process. Rather than present the whole scenario as a learning opportunity for him to curb his violent antics towards others that gets him into fights or his drinking that always seems to steer their relationship into the combative more than anything, this just tends to continually indulge in that behavior every time they die. This makes the eventual attack and resurrection the next day feel expected as it heads to these encounters which just grows tiresome waiting around for it to happen without a point with the amount of time it happens. Moreover, the film also really struggles with any kind of momentum being built up beyond the bloody ambushes. The early scenes with them running around the island are dragged out way too long with scenes going on beyond their interest of their lovely-dovey relationship taking centerstage here but not doing much else with it. The constant repeating of their troubled relationship aspects that take place once the time-loop occurs is just plain uninteresting as it really struggles to make us care about the relationship at all with his noncommital to doing anything with her and just being at complete odds with everything they do which makes it hard to care what happens. Even the final twist is underwhelming here not just because of the earlier moments but it takes forever to play out, all of which bring this one down overall.
Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, and several sex scenes.

Absolutely loved this movie. Right of the bat, you know you're in for some atmospheric, bleak fun. A vacationing couple takes a trip to a wintry, all but abandoned town, and it's semi-surreal right off the bat - but that doesn't make the characters feel any less real, any less intense. After a horrific end to the day, the male protagonist finds himself reliving the same day each morning, but in a quirkily new and equally disturbing manner. The obvious comparison is Groundhog Day, and more recently, Happy Death Day - but this is a true horror-genre take on the concept, and it's as fresh and original as any film of the 2020's. I was formulating theories all throughout, but was blown away by the twisty ending. Such majestic camerawork, anchored by the stellar lead performances, all built from a really tight and engaging script. This is a MUST-SEE for any horror fan who likes their flicks to have some serious substance and mind-stimulation behind the gore (which, also, is done with aplomb here).

We are not rating Oscar material just slasher/horror films..I liked this movie started off romantically I almost turned off. At which time the fun.. confusion begins. I thought as I watched this loop movie that I had it all figured out, for sure I knew what was going on. But I had no idea until the end. I would watch it again anytime..I would watch it again anytime,I would watch it again anytime 😊 lol.

Extremely boring poorly written and executed movie. Flashbacks are confusing and poorly done. I would avoid this movie if I were you. To many dumb scenes with stupid characters and bad dialogue. Not at all entertaining or interesting. Waste of time and money. If you want good movie look elsewhere. I've seen better twilight zones, better slasher films. The movie was awful to say the least. Cute girls couldn't fix it. Fake effects and bad actors. Could have been told in twenty minutes or less. I wish I could get my time back. I'm sorry for you if you like it but I think it sucks very badly. Go watch something else.

Thought this might be an interesting psychological thriller movie, maybe with a weird Groundhog Day loop going on, but good crispy Christ this movie was dull dull dull. The story was dull, the characters were dull. And the ending I could see coming a mile away. It left me unsatisfied in every possible way. I e had better Groundhog Day loops in my dreams.
If there ever was a time loop I wish I could use it to get the money and time back I wasted on this film.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. At all. Mean unless you want a cure for insomnia then congratulations you found one of a handful of movies that'll do it.
