Sinopsis(1)
Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) tiene diecisiete años y es una adolescente más que trata de sobrevivir a los sangrientos pasillos de su instituto y a la crueldad de la multitud popular. Pero cuando The Butcher (Vince Vaughn), -el infame asesino de su ciudad que anda suelto- trata de asesinarla, todo cambiará para Millie y el curso al que se enfrentaba y tanto temía, pasará a ser la menor de sus preocupaciones. Cuando la mística daga antigua de The Butcher hace que él y Millie se despierten en el cuerpo del otro, Millie descubrirá que solo tiene 24 horas para recuperar su cuerpo antes de que el cambio se vuelva permanente y quede atrapada para siempre en la forma de un maníaco asesino.
Pero no será fácil pasar inadvertida, ya que ahora tiene el aspecto físico un psicópata, que además está siendo perseguido por toda la ciudad. Mientras tanto The Butcher tiene la apariencia de una chica adolescente, anda suelto y además tiene ganas de matar. Con la ayuda de sus amigos, la inteligente Nyla (Celeste O'Connor), el glamuroso Joshua (Misha Osherovich) y su novio Booker (Uriah Shelton), Millie correrá contrarreloj para revertir la maldición mientras The Butcher descubrirá que tener el cuerpo de una adolescente es la tapadera perfecta para iniciar una ola de asesinatos.

After the time loop of Happy Death Day Christopher Landon tries something different, and once again it is very playful, entertaining, reasonably original, and this time it also has guts when it came to gore, for which I praise it. The idea of a serial killer unknowingly switching bodies with a high school girl is really cool, and Vince Vaughn is probably the biggest attraction of the whole film. He is funny and acts really well (this body sucks!). I liked the opening ten minutes, which reminded me of classics like Friday the 13th and Scream, and then of course the circular saw, which is the boldest gore scene in the whole film. Those who enjoy comedic slashers that are playful and entertaining will be satisfied, and even though I expected more gags and gore (in this area, The Babysitter has the upper hand), overall, no better slasher has been released this year. Story ****, Action ***, Humor ***, Violence ***, Enjoyment ****, Music ***, Visuals ****, Atmosphere ****, Tension ****. 7.5/10.

Christopher Landon proves for the third time that he has great ideas, but as an executor he can't squeeze great films out of them. In doing so, he manages, perhaps for the first time, a workable horror atmosphere and solid gore, plus he has two very decent actors at his disposal. Unfortunately, however, as always, it falls horribly short. It's a shame, his ideas deserve a more imaginative execution. But I've been thinking that since the first Happy Death Day.

Christopher Landon is clearly profiling himself as an expert on this kind of light-hearted teenage comedies with a horror premise, and I quite like it. There’s always a couple of things to complain about (here, for instance, the conversation in the fitting room of a shopping mall, it’s awful), but in the field of mainstream consumer products, I like this a lot more than McG’s The Babysitter, mainly because of the likeable characters (not only the heroine in both her bodies, but also her sidekicks are quite cool for the standards of teenage slashers) and the humour, which is very simple but not cheap or pandering. The opening scene is downright brilliant. 7/10

An entertaining slasher with an interesting premise. Putting a six-foot serial killer inside a short, shy and retiring blond works mainly thanks to Vaughn’s talent at acting anything from a taciturn psychopath to a babbling high school girl. But Newton swaps her zombie-like step for confident strides... Luckily, Christopher Landon doesn’t wait a minute to make fun of genre clichés, even ridiculing himself. The juicy gore and great horror atmosphere (a great opening) does much to counterbalance the shoddy screenplay. This had many more possibilities to be explored, but they were ignored. But still, a solid above-average movie.

A great idea and fun from beginning to end. That is, until the first ending, because the second, unnecessarily drawn out, was really redundant. Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton are perfect in both roles, and I really liked the script, which simultaneously crashed and exploited all sorts of horror clichés. It's likeable, bloody, colourful, sexy and funny. Sometimes, that’s all I need.
