Blumhouse's PG-13 slasher sequel HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U hit this past Valentine's Day and didn't really blow up the box-office. I think that's too bad as I really want to see what the filmmakers come up with for the already planned third film, which was teased at the end of the second entry. And today we have word that Blumhouse has begun developing the third film in the franchise HAPPY DEATH DAY 3U.
Just kidding, I don't know what they plan to call it. Here's the rundowns on the two (current) tales of time-warping terror:
In Happy Death Day, Teresa "Tree" Gelbman's birthday is the worst day of her life, starting when she wakes up in a stranger's bed. It's also the last day of her life, ending when she's killed by a psychotic killer with a knife. She's dead. And then she wakes up in a stranger's bed, it's September 18, and she has to live it all over again . . . until she's hunted down and wakes up, again, and again. It's a Groundhog Day situation, only with murder, guns, and mean girls, and Tree's only shot at living to see the next day is to relive the day of her murder, over and over, until she discovers her killer's identity.
Happy Death Day 2U picks up the story without missing a beat. Tree Gelbman thought she'd finally lived to see a brand-new day. But when she wakes up on her same birthday and an all-new psychopath in a mask is out to kill her and her friends, she's going to find out that all the rules have changed. Death makes a killer comeback.
Again, considering the recent box-office disappointment, I may be in the minority here, but I still want to see more BabyFace Time Killer. I think the series is getting wackier and wackier and that's not a bad thing all said and done. What do you think? Are you up for HAPPY DEATH DAY 3 or do you think Blumhouse and friends should let sleeping blonde college woman lay? Let us know below!
