Time Cut

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.

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!

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.

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.
