How This Works – Read Other Reviews
Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2024 film Time Cut.
Story
A fun mixture of time travel and slasher story elements but with a paradox twist that isn’t normally explored.
Score: 1
Characters
I have a soft spot for smart characters. They are rarely found in slasher films and unfortunately the smart idiot trope happens a lot in time travel. Thankfully neither is the case in this movie. They act fairly logically and they are smart.
I do think the quiet nerd being picked on and being rejected turns them evil trope is a little overdone.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The dialogue is pretty good but I would have liked the slang differences to be explored more. Other than fashion, the main character didn’t seem out of place.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The visuals are great. I like the choice of lighting and colouring to denote the decade. The special effects are minimal and mostly practical.
The music is oddly nostalgic for only being twenty years ago.
Score: 1
Fun
I was expecting a dumb movie and after really liking Totally Killer I didn’t expect to enjoy this one. I was happily wrong. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the ending.
Score: 1
Overall
An excellent time travel movie with mild slasher elements. It doesn’t shy away from fun or asking question. It’s nice to see a movie that feels like a rehash do something different with its conclusion.
Final Score: 4 Stars out of 5
