Short description
Caught in a bizarre and terrifying time warp, college student Tree finds herself repeatedly reliving the day of her murder, ultimately realizing that she must identify the killer and the reason for her death before her chances of survival run out.
What's left behind the scenes
- The t-shirt Tri is wearing says Dumpstaphunk. That's the name of a funk band from New Orleans, Louisiana.
- The film doesn't explain how Trish got caught in a time loop. Director Christopher Landon promised to provide an explanation in the sequel.
- According to the director's original vision, the film would end with the protagonist dying again and re-entering the time loop. This ending didn't appeal to audiences during a preview screening, so it had to be changed.
- The scene where the main character, played by Jessica Roth, walks naked across campus had to be filmed quickly, as filming took place on the grounds of a real campus, and there was a risk that students would see the scene being filmed or start taking pictures. The filmmakers had to go to great lengths to avoid this. As a result, the scene was filmed in 2-3 takes.
- When asked why the killer in the film hides behind a baby mask, director Christopher Landon replied that, firstly, he needed something that could pass for a mascot – a sports team figure – that would be both scary and funny; and secondly, he was expecting a baby boy at the time and “couldn’t think about anything but babies.”
- The killer's costume in the film was designed by Tony Gardner, the creator of the iconic Ghostface mask from the “Scream” franchise.
