TOTALLY KILLER (2023)

Totally Killer (2023): A Killer Time Warp with a Dash of 80s Nostalgia

Movie: Totally Killer (2023)

Genre: Horror/Comedy

Year: 2023

Country: USA

Plot Twisting Time Travel:

Totally Killer throws us into a whirlwind of time travel and teenage troubles. When the notorious "Sweet Sixteen Killer" resurfaces after 35 years, 17-year-old Jamie finds herself flung back to 1987 in a bizarre twist of fate. Now, she's stuck navigating the neon-soaked world of the 80s, all while teaming up with her hilariously clueless teenage mother (played to perfection by the ever-charming Julie Bowen) to stop the killer before history repeats itself.

Stellar Cast and Groovy Vibes:

The cast is a delight, with Kiernan Shipka delivering a perfectly sassy performance as the resourceful Jamie. The 80s setting is brought to life with vibrant costumes, a killer (pun intended) soundtrack, and clever references that had me chuckling throughout. The camerawork is slick, adding to the suspense and the overall fun vibe.

A Few Nitpicks:

While the film kept me entertained from beginning to end, the ending felt a tad rushed. A bit more closure regarding the killer's motives wouldn't have hurt. However, that doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment.

Overall Verdict: 4 out of 5 Stars

Totally Killer is a rollicking good time for fans of horror-comedy and anyone with a soft spot for the 80s. The plot is clever, the acting is spot-on, and the soundtrack is pure nostalgia gold. While the ending could have been fleshed out further, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

Netizens' Take:

The film received generally positive reviews, with praise for its humor, cast performances, and 80s vibes. However, some viewers echoed my sentiments about the ending, wishing for a more satisfying conclusion.

Box Office Buzz:

Made on a budget of $15 million, Totally Killer grossed a respectable $42 million worldwide.

Bonus Trivia:

Did you know? The film's original title was "Sweet Sixteen Redux," but it was changed to avoid confusion with another horror movie with a similar title.

4 star out of 5 star
