Universal Pictures announced today that Half to Death, from Blumhouse Productions, has been retitled as Happy Death Day and will be released on the thriller’s previously-announced date: Friday, October 13, 2017. You can watch a trailer tease below, and stay tuned for the full trailer on Wednesday.
Blumhouse (Split, Get Out, Whiplash) produces an original and inventive rewinding thriller in Happy Death Day, in which a college student (Jessica Rothe, La La Land) relives the day of her murder with both its unexceptional details and terrifying end until she discovers her killer’s identity.
Happy Death Day is directed by Christopher Landon (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones) and written by Scott Lobdell and Landon.
