A gritty mind-bending thriller about three twenty-somethings who find themselves in an impossible time labyrinth, where each day they awaken to the same terrifying day as the preceding one.

This looks good.
Similar to the recent 'Vantage Point' but that is purely an editing choice to retell from a different viewpoint non-linearly...
 
That looks freakin' cool! Reminds me of a dark version of that SG-1 episode more than Groundhog Day...
 
Re: 'Repeaters' reviews

some reviews have come in:

Caught between glitzy genre thriller and low-budget character study,
Repeaters settles for the most basic what-ifs in science fiction

a small but interesting thriller from Vancouver director Carl Bessai
Repeaters: Clever concept, but light on the thrills
Even so, it’s an excellent low-budget head-scratcher.
Film Review: Repeaters (3.5 stars)

I'm all for time-travel type movies or at least temporal plot issues.
It opened last month somewhere.
