So because I've had time loops on my brain for a couple days now I did have an idea for a different take on the genre that I don't think I've seen done before.

In these types of movies there is typically something bad happening that the scenario get's looped until it is fixed (Edge of Tomorrow, Source Code) or the main character needs to do the right sequence of things (Groundhog day) or something along those lines. But the end result is usually something better happening. What if it were the reverse?

More specifically I'm thinking about those interview you see on local news stations when someone does something awful and the neighbor next door always says how shocked they are and says something like "If you had asked me yesterday, I would have told you they weren't capable of doing something so awful" in reference to whatever atrocity had been committed by their neighbor.

Well what if yesterday they weren't capable.

What if a perfectly normal and nice person got stuck in a day loop and rather than taking the opportunity to improve themselves or have that perfect kind of day to break the loop they instead go the other direction. A slow descent into madness while they relive the same day thousands of times again. And the day loop just happens to end on a day where the main character did something particularly heinous, but rather than a day reset they are now stuck with the consequences of their actions.

That's really all I have to my idea so far, but to me at least that sounds like something I'd be interested in seeing. And as far as I know nothing like that has been done, but maybe some of you have heard of something like that?
