Happy Death Day 2U trailer teases another outing of death, death, repeat

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Blumhouse has churned out more than their fair share of horror surprises, but one of their more unexpected hits was last year’s HAPPY DEATH DAY, a time-loop slasher flick that made over $100 million around the world. Now the sequel – HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U – is only a few months out, and the new trailer for the movie finds our leading lady, Tree (Jessica Rothe) back in a deadly loop, but this time it’s affected all her new friends as well. We can expect plenty of creative kills to accompany all the time loop logic, which means this series about to get way more complicated. Just enjoy the kills.

While I found the first movie not nearly as fun as it could’ve been the sequel looks to get a bit weirder with it, which could compensate for the lack of gleeful gore. Rothe did an impressive, entertaining job as Tree, taking her from denial to anger and then acceptance as she figures out how to end the madness. The sequel looks to go down that same route a bit but looks to be having more fun with the absurd premise, which is really the best course of action here.

Check out some new images!

Here’s the synopsis:

Jessica Rothe leads the returning cast of HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U, the follow-up to Blumhouse’s (Split, Get Out, The Purge series) surprise 2017 smash hit of riveting, repeating twists and comic turns.  This time, our hero Tree Gelbman (Rothe) discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead.

HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U hits theaters February 14, 2019.
