Verdict on Totally Killer
Totally Killer is a horror comedy following a teenager who gets sent back in time and must figure out who a serial killer is. She must get used to the era of 1980s America and get close to her own parents as they try to figure out who the killer is.
This is a movie that channels the ‘Happy Death Day’ energy. It uses comedy to show how eras in America have changed. There is time travel showing somebody traveling back in time to deal with a serial killer. Along with discussing whether you can or can’t change time. While this movie is one you can have a lot of fun with. This becomes a welcome addition to the comedy slashers we have had over the years with a showdown that stands out from the rest.
Where to Watch: Totally Killer is available on Prime Video.
Final Thoughts –Totally Killer is a welcome addition to the horror slasher comedy collection.
