Time Cut

The first thing that comes in mind when you see the synopsis is Totally Killer from last year. Apparently this was written before and its just a coincidence but its impossible to not make the connection.

Set in the early 2000s instead of the 80s, and trying to save a sister she never knew instead of a mom are the differences but the rest is very close.

I personally left high school right around 2003 but in my opinion the movie missed the mark on the time period it try to portray. There is maybe one line that made me smile (mentioning Twitter, Facebook and then MySpace wich had a few great years in the late 2000s but disapeared very fast) but altough they use some stuff wich were still popular at that time like discman or Buffy posters, i never got much of the 2000s vibe. If anything it feels like they trying to portray the late 90s instead.

When it comes to slasher aspects, the movie has very few kills and it almost seem like an afterthought at times. They could had done so much with the mystery killer but it was pretty easy to figure out. The mask once again look pretty similar to Totally Killer and can't say anything was very memorable with this character.

With all of that said, there was other aspect i liked. The whole idea of Lucy (the main character) life pretty much living in the shadow (and dark cloud) of a sister she never knew with parents that could never move on, but then experiencing how it could had been. Bonding with that sister had its moments too.

Im gonna go with a 6 out of 10 because the movie is easy to watch and didn't bored me. But its a movie that would likely get the "not gonna remember it in t-minus 1 day" by Jeremy Jahns.

Certainly worth a watch as its included with your subscription if you enoy this genre. But will not become a cult classic or anything.

First of all, I don't know why the genre of this movie is horror there is no any scary scene in it nor do things happen in a frightening way.

Second, the details in the film are so poor and do not reflect the period in which the action is supposed to take place. Some outfits and hairstyle where soo bad.

The plot had potential but it got wasted and turned to be dumb. The mystery about who is the killer is good and had so much more potential i liked the moment when we found out about how the really killer was. Maybe that is one of good things in the movie.

The ending they chose was cute because i like the fact that they focused on sisterhood.

Im hoping other reviewers mentioned the same thing.

Because this was the biggest rip off if ive ever seen one. Also why was this serious and dramatic? If youre gonna come up with a ridiculous plot and storyline can we atleast make it fun??

This had zero fun. The best part about time machine plots is seeing past and future selves of everyone and we got about zero of that here...Also the slasher was absolutely predictable. I thought to myself i hope i have this wrong. Cause it would be too obvious if it was indeed the person i was thinking. Lo and behold...it was. -_-

I do however want to take a moment and give a huge shout out to the person who handled the 00s jamz. As a millennial that was probably my favourite thing about this entire movie. Every song that was chosen was an absolute banger!

What should have been a short 90mins movie became the longest one ive ever seen. Time i will never get back. (Unfortunately i dont have that Time Machine to go back to when i didnt watch this)

Verdict? Skip this one and watch Totally Killer on Prime. Guaranteed laughs and fun!

I've been waiting for this film for three years. Unfortunately, it's very hard to love. The violence is surprisingly tame, and no murder is shown on screen. (Beware, Terrifier fans!) It's not even PG-13, it's borderline PG. The recent trend of making films as desaturated and bleak as possible has plagued Time Cut as well, which simply makes no sense since the 2000s were famously colorful to the point of tastelessness. The editing is another issue-it's too twitchy to ignore. The killer teleports so much even Jason Voorhees would get uncomfortable, and his mask is some Max Headroom knock-off. Most importantly, the script itself is so increasingly fatigued that the third act can only be described as anticlimactic and unsatisfactory.

The silver lining is that it has a variety of modern Canadian scream queens: Marina Stephenson Kerr (in a clearly reduced to blink-and-you'll-miss-it role; Channel Zero), Sydney Sabiston (All Fun and Games), Megan Best (Elevator Game) and Summer Howell (in what might be described as a cameo; Curse of Chucky). Alas, the lead actors didn't impress me that much. The soundtrack is decent and full of familiar songs of the era. The only truly satisfying thing might be the clothes-they were on-brand for the decade. The costume designer is arguably the only person involved who was actually invested in her job.

All and all, no matter how you look at Time Cut, it's just not enough. It lacks some of the vital skills of a horror film, such as being scary. It's not funny, it's not smart, it's not totally killer, and it's not even trendy. Ugh, as if!

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.
