Time journey is all the fad as of late. Possibly it’s as a result of the current second feels so… not nice? Time journey is an angle, and at present, it’s one of many key distinguishing components that may efficiently set a slasher film aside. To not go full Roger Ebert, however he was right, broadly, when he famous a slasher (lifeless teenager film) actually simply wanted some teenagers and a masked killer. The core is hard to iterate upon, however a touch of high-concept plotting could make a decades-old components really feel recent. No marvel the completely killer slasher movie, Time Lower has managed to efficiently attain primary on Netflix. Take a look at a trailer and synopsis under:
Per Netflix: A highschool pupil unintentionally time-travels from 2024 to 2003, arriving simply days earlier than her teenage sister is murdered by a masked slasher.
To get it out of the way in which now, Time Lower wrapped filming earlier than Prime Video’s parallel chart-topper, Completely Killer. Whereas Completely Killer was launched a whole 12 months earlier than, it was filmed later. Film manufacturing and launch woes and all that. In fact, the 2 movies share greater than only a premise—as has been moderately identified on-line, the killers’ masks in each are remarkably comparable. A lot so, you may really feel such as you’ve traveled to 2023, not 2003, and caught a Completely Killer redux as a substitute.
In any other case, Time Lower does endeavor to do its personal factor, and tonally, it’s not all that much like Completely Killer. It’s extra earnest, much less propulsive, and (painfully) retreads a decade not often seen within the filmmaking area. That’s proper, 20 years in the past wasn’t the Nineteen Eighties… it was 2003. I’m sorry to say. Resultantly, Time Lower will get some sick Hilary Duff needle drops and a few (questionably genuine) recreations of early aughts trend. The youngsters might be asking what these loopy sq. units are. They’re iPods (although except you had been stinking wealthy, you didn’t have one in 2003).
Nonetheless, regardless of the trades suggesting horror fatigue from 2025 onward, the style stays as robust as ever, and Time Lower’s sensational success on Netflix factors towards a continued curiosity within the horror style writ massive. Followers on-line have additionally been loving the movie. Whereas some have rightfully identified some anachronistic components, youthful audiences particularly are having enjoyable with the slick time journey slasher thrills. Take a look at some alternative reactions under:
I do not know tips on how to clarify it however this looks like what a ten 12 months thinks 2003 was like and never truly what it was like. There’s one thing unauthentic about it. There’s one thing lacking https://t.co/gNOVUqPSaY

#TimeCut was cute but it surely did not make any sense and it was too brief. Netflix should not do this once more. Watch Completely Killer as a substitute ??

Yeah, Time Lower won’t ever totally escape Completely Killer’s shadow, however in the event you’re up for it, you may discover one thing to love. So, let me know what you suppose. Did you want Time Lower? How does it evaluate to Completely Killer? Share your ideas with me over on Twitter @Chadiscollins the place I’ll in any other case be musing about Hilary Duff’s Metamorphosis being among the finest pop albums of the century.
