Description: When the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer” returns 35 years after his first murder spree to claim another victim, 17-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) accidentally travels back in time to 1987, determined to stop the killer before he can start.

Review: In a small American town, three teenage girls were murdered. Now, thirty-five years later, the killer suddenly turns up to kill Jamie’s mother. Jamie’s friend has just build a time machine, allowing her to travel back to the day the first girl was murdered in 1987.

“Totally Killer” is not a parody of old slasher films, but it is self-aware. I really liked the time-travel element in this film. Although this can be tricky, with logics and plot holes and such, “Totally Killer” does a pretty good job to keep it simple and not make you to worried about those logics.

The film combines horror with comedy, but it’s a but out of balance. It’s more a comedy.

I had a really good time watching “Totally Killer”. Loved the 80s vibes, the time travel element in the slasher genre and I really liked the main character Jamie. Fun times.

Rating: 3,5/ 5
