Time-loop movies are evergreen for a reason. It's a formula that can apply to any genre — and lord knows we've got them all over the years, from "Groundhog Day" to " Edge of Tomorrow " and many more — and yet one that can be spun and reinvented in ways we've never thought of before. Reliving the same day, hour, minute, or a certain time period can be a soothingly familiar, unbearably suspenseful, or hauntingly terrifying concept.
