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.

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.

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!

To say that this was ripped off of prime's 'totally killer' would be the understatement of the year.

The only reason I'm giving this a 3/10 is due to Madison Bailey's (also known for her role in Outerbanks) performance as she genuinely tried to work with what she given and made the film bearable to watch to the end, she is literally the only saving grace of this entire film.

Antonia Gentry (Summer) is in dire need of an acting coach, her performance in this film and in general as an actor is stiff and she literally offers us the audience nothing. To quote the one and only Patti Lupone 'she can't act her way out of a paper bag'. The film's killer was predictable and one could tell who it was from a mile away so it left nothing wonder about. I'm not certain why Netflix opted to rip off 'totally killer' but they failed miserably and offered nothing new to the table.

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.
