Review: Totally Killer (2023)

Totally Killer (2023)

Rated R for bloody violence, language, sexual material, and teen drug/alcohol use

<Originally posted at https://kevinsreviewcatalogue.blogspot.com/2023/10/review-totally-killer-2023.html>

Score: 3 out of 5

Totally Killer is a film where you can see the marks of Happy Death Day written all over it. That movie, which has grown in my estimation over the years, set a template for a kind of horror-comedy that Blumhouse has since come to specialize in, one that combines a slasher movie storyline with a big, high-concept hook straight out of a classic retro comedy (in Happy Death Day's case, it was Groundhog Day). In this case, director Nahnatchka Khan and writers David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver, and Jen D'Angelo not only put a slasher twist on the basic plot of Back to the Future and the Bill & Ted films, they went the extra mile and set large parts of the film in the '80s as well, having its modern-day protagonist confounded by the values of the decade as much as Marty McFly was by the '50s. The result is a film I enjoyed, but wanted to like more than I actually did given the wild ride that the trailers promised. On one hand, it nailed the comedy side of the equation and had a cool-looking killer, a great co-lead performance by Olivia Holt as an '80s mean girl, and a story that seemed to be going in some interesting directions, but on the other, the horror side was fairly rote, it held back on some of the ideas it leaned towards, and its leading lady Kiernan Shipka didn't do much to elevate the material. Ultimately, I'd sooner rewatch The Final Girls as a film that did a superficially similar story more effectively, but I can't deny that there's still a lot to like about this one, and I don't regret having watched it.

The film starts on Halloween in 2023, thirty-six years after Pam Hughes survived a killing spree where three of her friends were murdered by the "Sweet Sixteen Killer", a masked murderer who stabbed each of his victims sixteen times on their sixteenth birthdays in late October. Now, Pam is a soccer mom with a teenage daughter named (what else?) Jamie -- and tonight, she herself gets murdered by the Sweet Sixteen Killer, who was never caught and seems to have come back to finish the job. Jamie, distraught over her mother's death, suddenly receives two leads, first from a local true crime podcaster named Chris who tells her that Pam had received a note from the killer reading "you're next, one day" that she had kept secret, and second from her best friend Amelia, a science whiz who's trying to enter the science fair with a time machine that her mother Lauren designed but which she can't get to work. Thanks to some accidental intervention by the killer, Jamie somehow manages to figure out how to make the machine work, and gets sent back in time to 1987 on the day of the first murder. With a heads-up from the killer, she sets out to not only solve her mother's murder in the present, but also save her mother's friends in the past.

The comedy side of the film was clearly where Khan and the writers were most invested in the material. A lot of humor is mined from Jamie's reactions to not only how different the adults in her life were when they were her age, but also how the '80s were a very different time when it came to everything from politics to permissiveness, and not necessarily for the better, a rather appropriate perspective to take given how much of the film's plot concerns Jamie realizing just how much of a bitch her mother was back when she was her age. And on that note, Olivia Holt as young Pam was this film's heart and soul, not only looking like a perfect dead ringer for a young Julie Bowen (who plays her grown-up self) but understanding the assignment and feeling like nothing less than a more mean-spirited (if still heroic) version of the characters that her idol Molly Ringwald plays. Whenever Holt was on screen, which was fortunately often, this movie sparkled to life. The supporting cast, too, served as capable accomplices for Holt, whether it's their job to act frightened or make you laugh, and occasionally do both at the same time. (One kill in particular late in the film stands as one of the funniest "comedy" deaths I've ever seen.) The horror side of the film was a fairly boilerplate whodunit slasher that would be familiar to anyone who's seen Scream (a film that this one namedrops) or any of the films that followed in its wake. However, it was elevated by a killer whose look alone was creepy, wearing a Max Headroom-inspired mask that feels right at home in this movie's darkly comic sendup of the '80s and giving a twisted sort of edge to him. It may have just been aesthetics rather than substance, but those aesthetics were really damn cool, and given how much this movie is powered by a love of the visual and sonic landscape of '80s pop culture, it was exactly what the movie needed.

It was fortunate that this movie had Holt and its totally killer (sorry) style propelling it, because there were otherwise a lot of weak links here -- and unfortunately, they were some big ones. For starters, while I liked Kiernan Shipka on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I found myself very disappointed with her performance here, a problem given that she was supposed to be the main character. She acquitted herself well enough with the scares and as the "straight man" to the humor, but this film was built around Jamie's relationship with her mother, and while Holt carried her side of that story well enough, Shipka fell flat and couldn't get me interested in the character. What's more, the writing missed some very interesting and incisive directions that it could've gone in, tying Jamie's shock at her mother's awful behavior as a teenager to the jokes poking fun at the political incorrectness of the '80s and using both to craft a broader theme about how our memories of the past are all too often colored by selective nostalgia that glosses over the uncomfortable sides of the things we love. It's a dramatic throughline that was practically right there, waiting to be tapped, and yet the film barely even seems to think about how two of its primary elements might connect to one another. Finally, the reveal of the killer's identity was telegraphed almost from the moment we're introduced to one particular character, and the film did nothing to play around with it, resulting in a flat, uninteresting villain with a motive that's been done many times before and often better.

The Bottom Line

Totally Killer is goofy to a fault, seeming to actively avoid finding any deeper meaning in what it's saying in favor of delivering a sugar rush of '80s nostalgia. On that front, it delivered exactly what it set out to, a mix of retro aesthetics, lots of funny jokes, and a performance by Olivia Holt that ought to be a stepping stone to bigger and better things. If you wanna have some fun, check it out, though I do wish it got a bit meatier than it wound up being.

Tyler's POV

The following morning came and if you didn't know I'm not a morning person at all hearing the alarm clock go off I shut the damn alarm off and groan slightly as I get out of bed and stretched out my tired muscles to get ready for dynamite as I grabbed my clean clothes and went into the bathroom of my hotel room to hop into the shower and get started of my dreadful day

About half an hour later I put on my clean clothes and put on my signature hoodie which was black and put on my black shades on knowing I wasn't booked for tonight's show I was honestly meeting up with Anthony Bowens, Darius & Dante Martin, Action Andretti & Darby Allin for a quote on quote "special occasion"

Once I got to the arena I saw the guys outside and noticed that there's a female next to Darby Allin I questioned myself as to who the female was and why was she here with Darby Allin if this was a special occasion as I get out of the car to meet up with everyone

"well look who decided to show up" Andretti said as I growl lowly at him half of the time he angers me but I couldn't hurt Darius's protege knowing he's just a replacement for Dante as I turned to look at Darby with the female next to him

"Darby is this your girlfriend or something?" I asked as Darby chuckles slightly and looked at the female before looking back at me as he sighed deeply

"everyone this is Saige she's my sister" Darby began to say as the others waved hi and introduced themselves to her as I kept my close eye on her every movement

"it's nice to meet all of you" she began to say as I nod in reply mostly me meeting new people don't go together as I looked at her figure as I begin to sense her blood type yeah my powers are very valid one of them is sensing people's blood type as I sighed deeply and looked at her

"you're blood type A" I told her as she looked at me concerned as she felt a little shy

"yeah how did you know that?" She asked as Darby wide eyed me as I nodded slightly at him knowing not to tell her about us becoming demons nobody was allowed to know our secret

"I just know things like that" I told her as she nods in reply and looked at her brother Darby telling her she was going to go walk around the arena as I watch her leave I kept my close eye on her as I sighed deeply and hear Bowens chuckling lowly

"Tyler's already wanting to fuck Darby's sister" Bowens said as I growled lowly at him as Darby side eyed Bowens

"if he did end up fucking my sister I would've ripped his head off" Darby said as he looked at him and I sighed deeply again

"are you two done?" I asked feeling impatient as they both looked at me and Darby began to change the subject

"just letting you boys know right now, now that Andretti here is new to the demon world we're all going hunting tonight after dynamite" Darby said as I sighed deeply and looked at him not wanting to be in the hunting ceremony as I felt my eyes getting heavier

"I'm down for whatever but we'll all have to meet up here if this happens I'm gonna meet up with Orange Cassidy he needs me for his promo segment" I said as the boys nodded at me and I walked inside of the arena contemplating if I want to speak to Saige on my own or go about my day

Something tells me that girl is going to be stuck on my mind all day and all night....
