Totally Killer (2023)
Did you ever want to watch a Halloween horror version of Back to the Future? Well, look no further; Totally Killer is just that. This film follows a teen girl, Jaime, who goes back in time to try to prevent the serial murders of her mother’s high school friends in the 1980s. She must solve the murders with enough time to return home before she’s stuck in the past forever. The witty dialogue and comedic timing ensure that even the most intense scenes are punctuated with moments of fun, making it an excellent choice for viewers who enjoy their horror with a side of laughter.
The 80’s nostalgia in Totally Killer not only brings in fun, colorful visuals and aesthetics but also pairs well with the high school slasher plot. As a huge fan of 80’s slashers, this movie was an absolute blast. The time travel plotline adds a unique twist to a sometimes predictable genre, keeping the audience engaged and entertained.
Totally Killer is great for Halloween, as the opening sequence is set on Halloween night. The rest of the movie takes place during the week leading up to Halloween, ending with a costumed fright night at the local amusement park. It is a fun, spooky film perfect for some laughs on Halloween night.
