Do you love slasher movies? Do you love Back To The Future? If you answered yes to both questions, you’ll want to check out the first trailer for Amazon’s time-travel horror comedy, Totally Killer. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Kiernan Shipka leads the cast in what looks like a fun spin on the well-worn slasher genre.
Directed by Nahnatchka Khan (“Fresh Off the Boat,” “Always Be My Maybe”), and produced by Jason Blum’s Blumhouse, Totally Killer finds Shipka come face-to-face with the infamous Sweet Sixteen Killer 35 years after their last kill. However, things turn when she finds herself unexpectedly back in 1987 and teams up with her teenage mum to stop the masked killer once and for all. After the endlessly inventive Happy Death Day (and its messy yet fun sequel), which forged a new sub-genre with a time-loop slasher), Totally Killer feels like a more straightforward proposition but could be just as fun.
Also starring Olivia Holt, Julie Bowen, and Randall Park, Totally Killer lands on Amazon on October 6, just in time to start getting into the Halloween spirit. Check out the trailer below.
Thirty-five years after the shocking murder of three teens, the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer” returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim. Seventeen-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) ignores her overprotective mom’s (Julie Bowen) warning and comes face-to-face with the masked maniac and, on the run for her life, accidentally time travels back to 1987, the year of the original killings. Forced to navigate the unfamiliar and outrageous culture of the 1980s, Jamie teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all, before she’s stuck in the past forever.
