Because the humor fell flat for me, the repeating jokes got very old very old quickly. 'Totally Killer' also ignores the more interesting avenues (and characters) for a totally obvious plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2024

Will this be anyone’s new favorite horror film? Doubtful, but it might be someone’s new favorite comedy. It boasts loads of genuine heart and a snappy sense of humor, resulting in a great comfort watch for many going forward.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2024

Totally Killer is a film that checks all of the boxes, taking great pride in its inclusion of the tropes and clichés of the genre.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 28, 2024

Kiernan Shipka and Olivia Holt are top notch leading ladies of a comedy slasher story with plenty of soul and gnarly kills.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Regardless of these flaws, the film is pretty fun and Olivia Holt, who was so good in the first season of Cruel Summer, is great as the teen version of Jamie’s mother Pam.

One anachronistic error your humble reviewer would point out: there's an unrealistic lack of mullets, especially for Illinois.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 25, 2024

The lightweight story was more comedy than slasher, which is good thing if you value laughs more than gore.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 23, 2023

A fun time-travel/serial killer comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2023

One of the best films of the year, and the most meta the horror genre has seen since Scream, Totally Killer is the horror comedy you have totally been waiting for.

| Nov 2, 2023

Totally Killer isn’t as great as the sum of its parts, but its playful sincerity and creative chase sequences make it an easy, enjoyable Halloween watch.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Nov 1, 2023

It's very funny and the suspense works.

The 80s retro sci-fi horror story is what I’d lovingly refer to as a slumber party movie: it’s breezy, playful, and thoroughly enjoyable.

| Oct 31, 2023

Bests the recent lame “Scream” efforts while keeping you on your toes enough and laughing here and there.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 30, 2023

Color me surprised because despite a terrible trailer, this Kiernan Shipka vehicle totally delivers. The comedy totally works, the kills are totally good, and the 80s nostalgia totally isn't overdone!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 24, 2023

A fun little slasher film with a twist -- a mash-up of two genres that manages to draw inspiration from previous films while creating its own unique presence.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 20, 2023

It’s a mix of masked murderers and social satire, as Jamie has to navigate the “problematic” new world she finds herself in. Nahnatchka Khan’s movie is slight but enjoyable, and Mad Men star Shipka is a deft horror heroine.

Fundamentally like Everything Everywhere All at Once but with a 온라인카지노추천 sitcom aesthetic, the new Amazon Prime Video movie Totally Killer is another mother-daughter story wrapped in genre film packaging.

| Oct 19, 2023

Make no mistake, the filmmakers know how silly their movie is. They embrace it which is why the film works as well as it does (when it works).

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 16, 2023

Shipka’s deadpan, nonchalant manner creates its own comedy as she perceives each situation and reacts accordingly, adding to this already smart script.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 15, 2023

Is delightfully in tune with the tropes of the slasher genre, as well as those of 1980s movies

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2023
