Repeaters

Three twenty-somethings wake to a day that repeats itself with brutal precision. Each dawn mirrors the last, turning a simple routine into a claustrophobic puzzle and dragging them deeper into a storm of fear and suspicion. The city feels like a trap as small choices echo back with escalating consequences they can’t dodge. With danger on every corner, trust frays and loyalties strain as they scramble for answers about why this loop exists. They start to suspect someone or something is pulling the strings, and they must decide what kind of people they want to be when escape feels possible. The film blends grit, action and science fiction to test how far people will go when time itself seems to betray them, while keeping their human bonds at the center.

Released in 2011, Repeaters was directed by Carl Bessai. Based on an original story by Arne Olsen, the Canadian thriller was produced on a modest budget around 1.6 million, and it aims to fuse grit with a mind bending premise.

Reception notes a mixed response, with an IMDb rating around 5.8 out of 10 from about 185 votes. The story explores time loops and the strain they put on trust, friendship, and integrity, balancing action with character driven drama and offering a thoughtful take on how ordinary people respond under pressure.
