I’ve gotta say, at no point in this movie did I care one bit about Tree. She spends the first 2/3rds of the movie bring a completely unlikeable person, and then only becomes halfway decent in the third act mainly as a means of self-preservation. I will say though, that she had some truly remarkable reaction time. Anytime the killer was about to strike, she used her catlike reflexes to escape the initial kill attempt. Whether it was dodging knives or bullets, she was a welcome change to movies where the potential victim(s) stand around for precious life-saving seconds looking dumbfounded while waiting for an attacker to make their move.

Overall, I’d give this a 3.5/5 for successfully recycling Groundhog Day’s plot and enhancing it with a murderous theme.
