Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The horror is lightened up by the comedy throughout this film, and some of the deaths and situations are even played for laughs.
  • A few jump scares throughout.
  • While the film is a horror comedy at its base, the atmosphere is quite tense and menacing, as it deals with a young woman trapped in a "Groundhog Day"-like scenario as she tries to uncover the identity of the person who killed her on her birthday. While this is all mostly done in a hilarious fashion, the premise alone can be a bit much for some.
  • The unknown killer wears a mask that could potentially be frightening to many.
