   a fun and funny horror comedy that is on par with The Final Girls and Happy Death Day. Similar concept but a different plot. Happy Death Day is the horror version of Groundhog Day, The Final Girls is the horror version of Tron but with a movie instead of a computer, and Totally Killer is the horror version of Back to Future. 1 year ago

   What if Back to the Future were a slasher film? Totally KIller has Kiernan Shipka go back in time 35 years to 1987 to solve/prevent her small town's one serial killer incident, the murders of the school's mean girls, which includes her mother (and costs the latter her life in the present). There's a certain personal frisson to having the 1987 characters be exactly my age then, and seeing as the 80s are played for laughs, usually showing it as a time lax on security (definitely) and big on being a jerk, I frequently questioned just how true this was. True enough was my unfortunate answer, and not just because we were selfish teenagers. It's still pushed to the extreme here because Shipka is forced to run with the Heathers, essentially. A lot of this you have to take on faith - like the time machine element - but as a horror comedy, it's a lot of fun. Shipka's reactions are on point, the movie understands its own DNA (even if 80s cops have never heard of that), and the way it both leans into Back to the Future and twists away from it is entertaining. 1 year ago
