My wife just rented this over the weekend. It was a pretty good movie considering it was low-budget. It also got a mention in the Sundance Festival. No spoilers, just paraphrasing what's on the Jacket: a woman working at a convenience store is murdered only to wake up back in the convenience store. And she begins to get clues that the killer isn't done with her yet.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

But if she was murdered, how does she wake up? Is the supernatural involved?

What do you think, Mike?

I didn't know. I asked. Gerald didn't mention the natural power of pretzels, which would have explained everything.

The power of pretzels is hinted at, but without the presence of pretzels...
If this had been a major production it would have been a C movie. But with that low of a budget I would give it a solid B+.

Well, sure. If the pretzels had been present, it would have been a rip-off of so many other films. Glad to know the director used a little subtlety. It wasn't Michael Mann, was it?
No, I think his name was Pretzella McPretzelstein.
