From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment: Happy Death Day

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Pictures Home Entertainment presents the "fun horror ride" (Don Kaye, Den of Geek) Happy Death Day, where a college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity. Perfect for horror fans, this film is available on Digital in 4K Ultra HD and standard definition as well as via the all-new digital movie app MOVIES ANYWHERE on January 2, 2018 and on Blu-rayTM, DVD and On Demand January 16, 2018. Own Happy Death Day on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital and be the first to see the never-before-seen alternate ending, deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, plus much more! 

Blumhouse (Split, Get Out, The Purge) produces this original and inventive rewinding thriller in which a blissfully self-centered co-ed Tree (Jessica Rothe, La La Land) is doomed to relive the day of her murder unless she can identify her masked assailant and hopefully stop the madness. If she can't, she will be stuck in an insane loop, reliving a ghoulish nightmare that has become her death day. The thrills continue with an alternate ending never-before-seen in theaters.

Happy Death Day is directed by Christopher Landon (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones) and written by Scott Lobdell. Israel Broussard (Fear the Walking Dead) and Ruby Modine (Shameless) also star in this seemingly unsolvable mystery that will keep you guessing over and over again.
