Totally Killer (2023) --- a funny and entertaining Sci-Fi Slasher Film
We finally got a stable internet connection in the temporary place, and all that's lacking is a working computer for me to work. Well, I can use my tablet in my personal classes, so I might try just that... but that's after I get over my colds and asthma.
I'm not used to going out anymore, but I had to do it especially when my father was still stranded in his homeland. And now that I'm able to relax somehow, the built-up fatigue started bugging me.
So today, to take my mind off things for a bit, I checked out my Amazon Prime app on my tablet. I get a free subscription every month, so might as well make use of it. And the movie that caught my attention was called "Totally Killer".

In the town of Vernon, way back 1987, an infamous serial killing took place. Three 16-year-olds were brutally stabbed and murdered 16 times on their 16th birthday. And this was known as the Sweet 16 Killer.

Fast forward Halloween night thirty five years later, Jamie, a 17-year-old lady, went to a concert with her friend on Halloween night despite her mom's warnings.
Her mom, Pam, was a friend to those three that were killed 35 years ago. And while handing out candy to kids who were trick or treating, she was attacked by the killer.
While still grieving, she helped her friend Amelia in her science fair project, which is a time machine. While talking with her friend, she got this idea of going back to the past to save the Sweet Sixteen victims.
While she was alone in the area, she was attacked by a the killer, and accidentally ended up time traveling.

There, with the help of her best friend's mom, tried to befriend her mother's group that were known to be bullies. They have two missions, one is to stop the killings, and two is to go back to the present.
This movie reminds me of Time Cut, a Netflix film with the same concept. They're both comedic slasher films which involves time travel, but I must say I like this one better.
It's interesting in a way because there were discrepancies in the information the main character has, making it more exciting. It's not that unpredictable, but it's entertaining.
I like the 80s vibes despite being born a few years later. And the thought of being the same age as your parents and seeing them do stupid things are both cringe and hilarious. It must have been tough for Jamie to see the teen versions of her parents.
It was a nice combination of Sci-Fi, comedy and teen slasher. I'd definitely want to watch it again with my cousins next time. It's going to be an addition to the slasher films that we enjoy watching.
Call us weird or strange, but there's just something oddly satisfying watching such films.
That's it for my post. If you're into this genre, I recommend you give this one a try. Thanks for reading and see you around!!!
