TimeCut (Netflix)- Didn’t I See This Movie Already? Last Year?
Quick Take: Last year, Amazon released Totally Killer, which saw Kiernan Shirpka travel back in time to save her mom from a serial killer. Netflix took that plot, and made it more confounding. Based on the dates given, this doesn’t make any sense. Bailee Madison now has to travel back, to save her sister, who was murdered 20 ears ago. but, she’s a teenager now, so like… her sister would be how old? I kept trying to pick up what this movie was putting down, and the random time travel machine no one seems remotely surprised by, but this is trying too hard to pay homage to Scream to care about being its own thing. I’ve seen this concept done better before. It wasn’t an awful time on the couch, but I can definitely say Totally Killer did this better, and I really love The Final Girls, which has a very interesting way of tackling this plot.
