So there’s this girl, see, and decades earlier, someone in her town was murdered, and somehow, she winds up going back in time to try to stop the murder from ever happening. Does this… sound familiar? It might, because while Time Cut is about sisters and going back to the dreaded early 2000s, last year, Netflix released Totally Killer, in which Kiernan Shipka went back to the dreaded ’80s to stop a murder.
Time Cut makes the problem a little more personal: One of the murder victims was the older sister of Lucy Field (Outer Banks’ Madison Bailey). What’s more, Lucy never even met poor murdered Summer (Antonia Gentry, from Ginny & Georgia). So when the opportunity presents itself, she slips back to the early naughties to change Summer’s fate. And, of course, this means a crash course in CDs, low-rise jeans, those deadly-seeming shoes with the wheels in ’em, really terrible tight cropped T-shirts, Avril Lavigne, and a whole lot more.
I will give them points for murder-by-shard-of-broken-CD.
Naturally, the trailer includes both worries about the future of the space-time continuum and a trip to the mall. (Watch out for the escalators.) Time Cut comes from director Hannah Macpherson (T@gged); it’s written by Macpherson and Michael Kennedy (Freaky). It’s on Netflix October 30th.
