what are you talking about
Unwittingly, a teenager in 2024 is sent back in time to 2003, just days before his sister was murdered by a masked assassin. Can he change the past without destroying the future?
who is he with
If you’ve been a Netflix subscriber for a few years, then you’re probably familiar with two of the platform’s most popular teen series: Ginny & Georgia and Outer Banks. Giant relied on his two bees with Time Cut — Madison Bailey and Antonia Gentry — to carry this story, which is more family than horror. Viewers will also recognize actor Griffin Gluck from Locke & Key.
is it worth watching
Who says Halloween, says horror products. This year, Netflix is focusing on sub-genres and concept films, such as the recently released Don’t Move. Today, the platform puts Time Cut online, a slasher A fantasy that sees its protagonist travel through time and which is reminiscent of Totally Killer, which was released on Prime Video last year.
Shot during the COVID-19 pandemic, this film has been patiently waiting in the platform’s boxes before being offered to subscribers this year. And the latter should not expect anything from Time Cut, which is average from everything Netflix has to offer: entertainment without great ambitions, which we watch to pass the time.
Some parts are quite enjoyable: the reconstruction of the 2000s, especially when you were a teenager at the time, brings back good memories. The music selection – from Hilary Duff to Avril Lavigne – will also make you smile. Let’s say it’s rare to have a scenario that talks about going back in time and that takes place in this period.
A slasher that is more than that
if you expect jumpscares or horror scenes, you will be disappointed. A reduction in time is a slasher Traditional because it features a masked serial killer attacking a group of friends. But this genre is only an excuse to allow a reunion between two sisters who do not know each other and who are brought together in an attempt to escape from a mysterious stalker. And the chemistry between Madison Bailey and Antonia Gentry is strong enough to make you want the movie to end.
If we put aside the inconsistencies, the lightness of the script, the revelation of the killer that leaves us completely indifferent, Time Cut still remains quite entertaining. But if you’re looking for something to scare you for Halloween, look no further.
