How To Beat The DEATH TIME LOOP In "Happy Death Day" 

Have a damn good day

We have to consider the psychological torture of experiencing "death" over and over again on you and how it'd effect your thinking process.

This is why Cinema Summary is great. I know for a fact getting stuck in a time loop will never happen, but I still want to be ready for it.

I always thought it was a bad idea that she explains, "I know you're the killer, and you poisoned this cupcake." Maybe playing dumb ("Thanks for the cupcake! I'll eat it on my way to class!") and then taking the cupcake to the police station would be a slightly better idea than announcing to a murderess that you know her plans.

Imagine being murdered not once, but *eleven* times by the Boss Baby we have at home. Even worse, imagine going to a college that has Boss Baby as their mascot.

You would have to be worried about how many “loops” you could make. There's no way to know if you have a set amount or unlimited chances. That would drive me crazy.

This is one of those horror movies where you could actually experiment a little with your mistakes and not be punished too hard for it aside from the death itself

I love how he defines human shield as “meatshield”

Here’s a thought. The killer doesn’t know you’re looping. Right before they get you, say “I won’t resist if you just show me your face before you kill me”. Solid chance it works IMO

I've kind of been confused about why she didnt continue hammering the killer when they were down. Considering they were wearing a baby mask, all black clothes, and was holding a knife barehanded, with prints all over that sucker, it would be undeniable self defense. And as a wise man once said: "You cant be murdered if you out murder your murderer."

"With the real murderer finally dead, the girl collapse to the floor in relief knowing that the time loops have ended and she could die from heart disease like a true American" 27:53 🤣

Step one: buy gun

I'd bet Cinema Summary would be the first person to freak out and freeze at a situation. Like, it's super easy to figure out what you would do in hindsight, but thinking over things this heavily probably just leaves him regretting every missed opportunity in a scary situation which would lead to him missing more opportunities, and freaking out more and so on and so on.

Killing Carter is kind of a massive gamble, mostly due to the fact that as we know, whenever the killed individual comes back it's always right back to square one, with everyone's memories being brought back to that exact point. If he *does* come back, he might take the killing personally and, well. Now you're stuck in an even worse loop.

Killing Carter on the off chance it traps him in the Death-loop is a terrible idea. If you somehow break that same loop you'd be on the hook for killing your boyfriend for no discernable reason.

I appreciated the style of the video in that you left the twist until the end and retroactively explained it. It was a very nice way of doing it, especially because I've not seen the film

I love how he just says, "this girl is gonna die 10 times." Like he's the mastermind behind her suffering

So she knocked him down multiple times, knowing getting murdered doesnt have consequences, and just tried to run instead of unmasking the murderer?

This shows that you have to keep your friends close but enemies closer

Considering how she’s able to dodge and also land critical hits on the murderer, I’m disappointed that she didn’t continue slamming the hell out of the murderer when she had the chance! Not only is it self defense (and can be proven with evidence) she can also find out the murderer’s identity.

Killing Carter to trap him in a death loop seems like a terrible idea, what if his cycle doesnt end until you die since you murdered him?

Something I thought of that went unmentioned was during the loop where Thresea used the key fob to find the doctor's car and use it to escape. The second time she uses it, both her and the killer realize exactly where she needs to go and both make a mad dash toward the car. My idea would have been to use the fob, but stay quiet and don't move. This would force the killer to move toward the car while she could quietly move back into the stairwell or even further down the parking garage to escape on foot. Since we know that no one else is around, we don't even need to see the killer move away. Simply listening to their footsteps either advancing or receding would give a clear enough picture to have an accurate enough location on them(enough to prevent them sneaking up on her).

@26:16, Also, her roommate is the one that suggested she stay in her room. Hence, she was the only one that knew she would be there, so she is the killer.

I am watching it at 4:40am and scared as hell so, *Thankyou* !!

This dude literally has you prepared for everything.

The thing about this time loop power is that we will still have to put "staying alive" as our top priority. The reason is that there is no guarantee that there isn't a cap on the number of times we are allowed to die, or the power won't just randomly switch off, resulting in us dying for real.

imagine if this girl just turned off her snap maps

I remember being surprised by the twist, she reconciles with her dad and her friend, she makes amends with everyone only to have it revealed she died again

I think the first step to beating this time loop...is to not back off when you get a good hit on the killer. Keep swinging! Fight or flight is definitely a tough thing to deal with. But no matter the tracking ability, but the killer in this case is clearly sloppy and should be just straight up beatable. Heck, even if somehow the hammer fails in this case she can at least prepare a better weapon. The only issue I'd have with the "run away and live free" option is that there's no way to know if the loops continue after that day. Escaping the killer immediately is fine, but if they still catch up to her later and the looping magic is gone...uh oh.

i fucking love that you put amber's face when you pull up the killers mask 😆

Almost halfway through the vid and I'm becoming a bit suspicious of the doctor

Thank you for making these videos!

The only questionable idea you had was killing Carter, he clearly dies multiple times during the loops and I don't see how us killing him would have any different affect then any of the other times he dies.

Interesting analysis. Although Theresa didn't optimize the time loops, she went about it well enough to have a positive ending. I'm glad! I was expecting a negative ending considering the time loops wouldn't have lasted forever.

I'm glad you did this movie, which is much harder since Tree is already trying out a lot of different ways to survive. You had to come up with ways out of the loop that she hadn't already tried. This movie reminds me of a series that was on for like a season and a half ( back when you had about 22 shows a year) called "Tru Calling". It starred Eliza Dushku (Faith from BtVS) as a morgue worker who had the power to go back in time when one of the corpses came in and asked for help. She essentially had to do what Tree did, which is remember details from her day, then find the person who died and try to prevent it from happening again, using just the information she gleaned from their body before her day rewound and started over. It was a fun concept so I was sad it didn't last longer as a series.

The protagonist in this movie could have avoided all of this by double tapping. There were a couple of occasions where she managed to strike the killer. If instead of striking once and trying to escape she would have just double tapped the killer and finished the person off she would have been fine.

Only issue I’d say is it would be challenging at first to know if the killer was targeting you specifically or if the killer was going to attack anyone who went thru the tunnel, as there was no guarantee she would walk past the construction zone

Good guy Cinema Summary: Calls the killer “he” to not ruin the twist.

I'm not sure if its state by state, but you have to wait 2 weeks (or longer) in order to get a hand gun. Fill out paperwork and it goes to the proper place and has to be accepted. I think you are able to get shotguns the same day though. Well, where I live you can get shotguns the same day. :)

You can't immediately conclude you're in a death loop, especially if it's the first time it happened

I love how he says “if you’ve been murdered by the boss baby “ bro I was dying when he said this 😭✋

Honestly, your video quality gets me every single time. Each film is individually well thought out and they never feel rushed. You'll be a channel to remember!

12:30 This transition is always blows my mind. So smooth.

i watched this movie like three years ago and you just gave back memories lol ty:)

It’s really sad how on one of the loops she apologizes for taking her for granted QND ends the relationship with the doctor but still gets killed

I originally thought while watching this movie that her actions during the day were affecting who the killer was. That's why I thought the killer just kept on getting to her

Let's do this on HARD MODE, 3 strikes and you're out. We start with loop#1 since this entire thing is rather new it would probably have no investigation done and considered just a bad dream. In the end the best thing we can get out of loop#1 is a slightly different route and confirmation of the loop. Loop#2 is the point were shit hits the fan. You have confirmation and have to address the following questions: - Can you break the loop? - How to break the loop? - Does the loop end if you reach the next morning? - Who is the killer? - Are you even alive or is this you limbo and you are supposed to die over and over again? Let's cross a couple questions. We can remove No.1&5 because there is no way to confirm them other than breaking the loop. No.3 is a pure gamble, you could jump back even weeks after you survive the night. This leaves us with No.2&4 who go hand in hand. You have no possible way to understand the loop but you know the killer will restart it, so your only solution right at this moment is to find the killer. Every potential aftermath is out of your hand unless you get rid of that constant. So you probably just wasted half of your last day figuring that stuff out, what next? Your timeline at this point is likely already altered, so you can't rely on a consistent trap but you haven't played your trump card yet. *Misinformation* Analyse the last two days, where were you and did you see potential suspects. Lure them into place by announcing you are first visiting a crowded place but after that a private silent location. Secure the private location the moment you spread that information. You can't go to the police in advance, it just might get you killed a month later, help is also not an option unless you 150% can rule out a suspect. I'm not saying go full blown Home Alone but cleaning chemicals can mix to some really toxic gas for example, just get creative, not everyone has access to guns. Lastly the backup plan: Visit an internet cave, school computer or any other non traceable devise and leave your story. You might die that night forever but never underestimate the power of 3 million 4chan users finding your killer!

Honestly, cinema summary is probably my favorite recap RU-vidr😄

The time loop is actually a good thing, she has infinite respawns to redo the failed mission over and over again until she finally beats it. Think about it.

If you want more difficultier time loop, try to beat time loop in "Edge of Tomorrow"

This is the power of Requiem.

Me: *walks in a room* *Frame freezes* *Cinema Summary Background music starts playing* Cinema Summary: "Ok, this guy has just made the worst mistake of his life-" Me: "Oh hell naaah" *slowly moonwalks out of the room*

Smoked, fixed some food, and was literally just scrolling through Hulu looking for something to watch with no success. Here along comes a notification from Cinema Summary. CS knows when we need him in times of need. Bless 🤙🏻

One of the first things to try in any scenario like this where you know a killer is coming for you within X amount of time is to drive to a remote location with clear lines of site in all directions (like a salt flat or desert) while armed with a decent rifle. Dig yourself a foxhole, then wait for the killer to show up.

Bro you keep on releasing bangers I can't keep up

I have a feeling the Cinema Summary can end anything by just speaking pure facts also im a huge fan of him

7:07 I love how the masked person is amber heard 😂😂😂

Also she had at least 2 instances where she could have killed or incapacitated the killer(club and hammer) but chose to run instead

That Airtag hitting different

If you can predict your killer's move, this is literally a massive advantage

I noticed that when she has her list of people to cross off, the previous people are already crossed off. Did she rewrite their names after finding them innocent just to cross them off again

During one of the time loops when she died from the explosion, you can see the cupcake candle in the killers hand which gave it away for me.

"If you've been murdered by the boss baby" Thanks for the laugh! Love these videos!

Why when I watch these videos I get goosebumpes?

This movie and its sequel were so fun, I didn't expect much from them when I watched it, but it was a great viewing experience. I hope you'll tackle Freaky, it's from the same director, and it's about a girl switching bodies with the killer trying to get her.

Thought we did this one, but happy to watch it. Hell yeah

That last joke got me good bro, have a damn good day.

Your ideas are so smart

"if you've been murdered by the boss baby only to realize that you've just cheated death". Please press one and please stay on the line

Keep note that these methods of surviving is only aplicable if you have the same odds as hers, and that includes; 1. Extroverted life 2. Lots of friends 3. A good one night stand 4. A doctor who'd do just about anything 5. Lives in campus (or any suburban area, really) 6. Carter I think it'd be more interesting if we're to survive the time loops (or any future life-threatening occasion really) with our own life circumstances.

I hate watching horror movie or death game movie because it’s always really long and the people are sometimes very stupid but you made me love them and now I’m watching movies by your video, thank you

I’m gonna like all of your videos

Honestly a super underrated horror flick. Glad you covered it!

Let’s all agree that this dude never misses

FINALLY U MADE THIS ONE

I love these

I love this movie I'm glad you're covering it but there's going to be some confusion in the second one

Always gotta be ready for anything that might happen

Hey, I just finished watching your video and a lot of the points you made are great, though I think this question needs to be asked. That is, is there any indication that the loop will continue after her birthday is over? I mean it could be a one time thing linked to her birthday meaning she would have to die on her birthday in order for it to take effect, or it could just be a one and done thing and never happen again on her birthday or otherwise meaning the running away strategy might not be a viable solution if this is the case.

I love your videos pls post more also there’s Sombody copying you doing how to beat and stuff

Her: Literally dies 3 times. Cinema Summary: Ok, this is getting out of hand.

Me: yeah this is pretty reasonable so far, good strategies Masked murderer at 7:07: *is secretly amber heard* Me: Me: *immediately liking the vid*

I seen this before and I like it like that

Have a happy Christmas

I can never tell if this guy actually figures out who the killer is, or he just watches the whole movie, and acts like he found out who it is.

"If you're trapped in a timeloop where you're being murdered every single day, what would you do?" bargain.

Perfect thing to watch before sleeping

If this was me I would get suspicious on the third day

" With no idea she was about to get brutally murdered" That is how brutal murders work some of the time.

7:07 LOL Cinema is the most funniest person ever

Every how to beat video be like “ its a blessing in disguise”

that was a twist at the end keep making good videos though

I was honestly so bored, and here comes Cinema Summary. One thing i know is that CS definitely knows how to beat boredem. Also have a damn good day.

I have an idea with the car alarm, instead of using the car to get out, use the car as a distraction. The killer thinks that the girl is trying to get to the car, so use it as an advantage.

That was so cool, It went from a normal time loop to a damn series.

ty for blurring the dead bodies and the simplest things like cuts. u helped me sleep tonight.

One of the horrifying horror movies i genuinely think i could survive Edit: also very confused as to why the doctor was ever even considered a suspect after we watched him be murdered by the killer.

10:30 there’s still a mandatory waiting period, background check and everything else. You can’t just waltz in with a fistful of dollars and walk out with a firearm. On top of that, since they’re being tracked, the killer would know they are trying to get a gun.

I know this will never ever happen but I will be ready for it to be prepared

This is my favorite film ❤️
