What starts off as a generic and almost dull slasher, turns into a fun mystery thriller that's neatly written and executed. It's a genius idea to blend horror with time loops, and the end product is highly satisfactory. It has all the tropes of both the genres, but feels exciting and fresh enough to keep you watching. Good performances, a genuinely well done reveal, and an engaging story keep this one going.
A masterclass of deescalation. Starts big and ends small, but never fails to pack a punch.
