SYNOPSIS: 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.
