Time Cut

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.

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.

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 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.
