Corte en el tiempo

I didn't have high expectations for this film but I really didn't expect it to be so tame. It had potential but it fell short in almost every way. There is almost no blood in this, which is crazy for a slasher movie. I don't think I've ever seen that before. The only blood shown is in the aftermath, there is none actually shown during any of the kills. The kills are pretty boring with nothing original about them. A lot of the outfits and styles used were not how it was back in 2003. It's almost as if they didn't consult someone who was really in school at that time. This would actually be a great film for introducing someone to the genre if they are not a horror fan. This is about as family friendly as a slasher movie gets. There is no blood/gore, sex, or swearing. Anyone accusing this movie of copying "Totally Killer" is wrong because this movie was filmed a whole year before. However, Totally Killer is a far superior movie and I recommend giving that one a watch.

Sometimes when they make slasher movies that aren't gory they end up good, like "Happy Death Day" or "Countdown" because they have to be creative and build suspense. This isn't one of those times. There are no good suspenseful moments, there are no jump scares.

There is the mystery about the killer and a bit of unique fun with the possible effect saving someone might have. That earns it about a 5.5 rating.

If you were a teen in 2003 then the nostalgia might be enough to make it more enjoyable.

It never gets annoying enough to turn off but it also never gets good enough to make it really worth while.

I know that they rarely use actual teenagers to play high school students but Summer often looked old enough to be playing someone's mom.

I didn't have much expectations to begin with but I'm a fan of Griffin Gluck's acting and like Antonia Gentry from Ginny and Georgia, so I was intrigued from the start.

I don't know if the writing was purposely making it as corny as possible, but it was super corny.

A lot of things didn't line up- I know it's technically sci-fi but come on!!! At least MAKE it make sense in regards to time travel!

It wasn't awful & has major potential for it to be good- but by the end I found myself in disbelief and questioned why Antonia and Griffin would accept these roles.

As stated in the title, the best thing about it (IMO) is the awesome early 2000s sound track.

I wanted to like this one. I love time travel movies - especially when it involves scenarios like this story (someone was killed in the past and the protagonist tries to change the situation), as they also often involve a mystery (like this one did as well). Some folks might see a lot of similarities between this film and Totally Killer, which came out last year. They also might feel like this was a ripoff of the other movie, but this was written before Totally Killer, so this seems to just be a matter of timing for both films. Totally Killer wasn't a huge hit for me, so I was hoping that this would end up being a more enjoyable experience, but sadly that wasn't the case. While it got off to an interesting start, the contrivances and ludicrous scenarios (like a couple of teens being able to slip easily through the gates of a NUCLEAR FACILITY WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT) - as well as the "forbidden love" scenario that played out in here (which felt inserted just for the sake of messaging) - were just too much. And the reveal of the killer (who I had already guessed) was so ridiculous and did not hold up to any level of scrutiny. The main actor also wasn't very convincing (or likable) for me, and I got a bit weary of the constant creased forehead/worried/conflicted/sad/tormented expression she wore pretty much the entire film. On top of that, she constantly contradicted herself with her actions/decision-making. The ending was also rushed and nonsensical, despite its attempt to come up with a "solution" that solved all the problems. It just felt forced and unfortunately did not stick the landing.

I think this movie passes the time well, and I think you'll find some of it interesting, but the movie is for Background noise whilst doing chores on the whole. So let's review "Time Cut".

Let's start with some of the positives first, I love the Soundtrack on the film. The 80's Music and the slower burn slasher works well in my opinion. It works well because the music fits with it. And most of the 80's Music was very upbeat, and Horrors usually have that to show some form of impact, like the intensity or the more scarier aspects in general. And that's the reasons for why it worked for me, it could also be due to the fact that more Upbeat and pop Music fits the style, but also holds the interest of the Viewer.

For me what doesn't work as well is the linear story, or lack of story. As pointed out, it doesn't come together as well, as the movie can come up with plot points but your not really sure as to how they've come up with some of the ideas. Like how they got into a facility and got in through a closed up gate going unscaved. And for me I'd of liked to see how they got to the issue, and more of a journey. I enjoyed it but it does lack at times.

The Timetravel was interesting and grabbed my attention. I liked the time-loop and the sisters bond is also great to see. They have an interesting dynamic because it's quirky but dangerous at the same time with the Slasher trying to kill Sammy. I like the bond they share because it's meaningful when you have Siblings and in some ways you can relate to how they feel. Even the Sister when she's scared about trying to save Sammy, as she knows she would never exist. So I do like some of the higher stakes and more dramatic moments.

The tension is greatly built up, and the high stakes make the drama aspects better because it holds some weight to it, especially being a Sibling and all that. What wasn't so good was the fact they dealt with it very easily. The story would've holded the same weight if the journey or the characters progression was better. It needed more time to develop the characters.

I would recommend this movie for the Soundtrack and some good scenes that hold some weight to them when it comes to siblings, but in my opinion I'd give it a decent score of 5 out of 10.
