Our take

An MA 15+ video-game adaptation where friends relive a deadly night in a loop. Gore is extreme: bodies explode, faces are smashed and stabbings repeat with blood splatter. Strong language and jump scares stay constant, with brief audio-only porn sounds on a tape. Best for horror fans 16+ who tolerate splatter, not younger teens.

Uplifting themes

Survival teamwork gets a brief emphasis between kills Characters try to protect friends, though their choices often backfire

Story (may spoil tone)

One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one...only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening.
