Repeaters

[deer of the dawn]

Three young people in rehab experience the same day, over and over.

www.imdb.com/title/tt1580426/

What sets this film apart from previous incarnations of the same idea (i.e. Groundhog Day, an X-files episode named "Monday", and another film I can't recall the name of) is that more than one person is aware of the repetition.

Predictably, once they realize the day is repeating itself for only them, they go on a spree, but it ends badly, with one of their party dying in a dam flume. After that, their paths diverge. Two of them realize that whatever they do stays with them, whether the consequences do or not. The other is determined to go on in his downward spiral.

I found the acting and characters good enough to make the film memorable, and not just "another Groundhog Day". Much darker, too, and a decently surprising ending.
