But at the historic Comstock House on 8th street in Moorhead, the house is brought to life with events highlighting history. According to the Minnesota Historical Society website, the Comstock House was built in…
Review: ‘Happy Death Day’ lacks both humor and horror
From the first seconds of “Happy Death Day,” audiences know what they are going to see. “Happy Death Day,” a horror riff on the 1993 Bill Murray comedy “Groundhog Day,” opens with the familiar Universal Studios logo repeating itself multiple times, as Tree Gelbman’s (Jessica Rothe) birthday does in the film. This clever opening recognizes…
