8 Horror Movies Where Only One Person Dies
4. Happy Death Day
Happy Death Day - and its sequel, for that matter - has such a fun, unique premise at its core. Think Groundhog Day, just with a whole lot more murder.
Jessica Rothe's Tree Gelbman finds herself reliving the day where she's destined to die. Each and every time she's murdered, Tree wakes up to live out this day once more, and regardless of how she uses her knowledge to evade being killed in the same way, the grim reaper stills come a-calling. And by grim reaper, that means some creep wearing a mask depicting a school mascot.
While Tree and her one night stand Carter are killed a whole bunch throughout Happy Death Day's swift 90-minute run time, none of these deaths actually stick - that being due to the very premise in play at the centre of Happy Death Day.
The only death of that 2017 movie that is actually a permanent arrangement? That would be the closing act demise of Ruby Modine's Lori after it's revealed that Lori is behind the torment of Tree.
With a poisoned cupcake stuffed in her mouth, Lori ends up kicked out of a second-floor window by Tree.
