Totally Killer Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025I'm a sucker for time travel movies this slasher riff on Back to the Future was really fun. Thought this had a lot of fun and creativity with the concept establishing it’s own time travel rules etc. I’m way behind logging this because—life—and a few days removed I’m having a hard time remembering many of the kills. So it’s possible it could use some more memorable kills. I didn’t really care for the mask, thought it was a little too generic (again, not very memorable). Really good time, though.
- jackmeatMarch 2, 2025My quick rating - 6.5/10. I enjoyed how this flick brings a nostalgic twist to the slasher genre, blending time travel with classic horror elements. The film kicks off with the return of the notorious "Sweet Sixteen Killer" on Halloween night, 35 years after his initial rampage. Kiernan Shipka shines as Jamie, a seventeen-year-old who, while fleeing from the masked killer, accidentally time travels back to 1987—the year of the original murders. What makes this slasher stand out is its clever mix of humor and horror. The film nails the late '80s culture, from the fashion to the music, making the time-travel element both entertaining and engaging. The humor is spot-on, offering a lighthearted counterbalance to the suspense and brutal kills that fans of the genre crave. The kills themselves are well-executed, satisfying the slasher film criteria. The movie also delivers some unexpected twists, keeping the audience on their toes. Jamie's interaction with her teen mom adds an intriguing dynamic, as they team up to stop the killer and prevent future murders. Overall, I thought this was a fun flick that hits all the right notes for a horror-comedy. It’s a playful homage to '80s slasher films with a modern twist, and while it may not be groundbreaking, it’s definitely an entertaining ride that horror fans will enjoy. I had this one on my shortlist for the top ten of the year for last year (which due to unforeseen circumstances, I never finished that idea up.)
