Plot Twist: Jesus was in the show and He saves the day

Before I explain what the title means, I must say that it is not a spoiler nor it is a religious ploy and I am definitely not taking His name in vain. I apologize in advance if it is rude to you but I am not taking it down cause it fits too perfectly (you will understand once you see it).
Or maybe i will change it to "Happy Death Day meets The Grudge"

I will start by saying AVOID if:
- you hate cutesy gore
- you can't sleep at night without a teddy
- you are lowkey scared of anything
If you have these three problems and you see it, recovery is kinda tough. The rest problems are no biggies.

This movie unlike other "time loop" movies is kinda different. We see the characters enjoying being stuck in the time loop and taking their time to get out of it. They don't stress nor do they enjoy the time loop until the end and then freak out. Each and every character is nice and doesn't backstab one another or fight in times of adversity. They don't separate and stick together. They don't hesitate to give up their lives for the betterment of others also. This is some advanced thinking i have never seen in movies.
But like every movie, there are flaws. And that flaw is the FL.
Pretty much every character is important but clear distinction is given to Asuka so she is FL. But this FL is a scaredy cat for 90% of the movie. 5% of the time, she grows a backbone due to the ML (Takahiro), and the rest 5% was because it was the end of the movie. The virgin FL, who suddenly becomes powerful after everyone dies, saves the day!!
She was timid and nervous but come on, after dying at least 50 times and even getting friends who like you, you should have become at least confident. But NO, she was like this till the end of the movie,
The reason the movie was saved is due to the ML. Dude literally did 95% of the things in the movie. He distracted the demon and did most of the things too. Even in the end, while the FL stared and cried, my guy was slashing the monster.
The stupid FL could have saved him when he was dying if she used the time she cried for his non-existent death for something like running and putting the goddamn body part in the coffin.
After he died, she became so strong that she fought the monster with the strength that wasn't showcased till now and won (by the power of Jesus). Then took her sweet time doing everything. The ending of the movie would have been cut by 10 mins if she ran. Sorry for the vent, it was necessary to do so I can detoxify this bs.

The cast was new to me other than Hashimoto Kanna, Yamamoto Maika, and Kamio Fuju. I have seen them before but my memory sucks remember where. They all acted pretty well and due to no significant supporting roles, the other cast had no presence.
The music was too good. The Japanese never fail to give an adrenaline rush song in between a gore movie.
There is also a post-credit scene that will confuse you but honestly, there were hints in between the movies to be able to predict this. It was a predictable movie.
Hope you like it!
