If anything, the horror element of this horror movie is the weakest part, but Totally Killer is spry enough to remain enjoyable throughout.

It’s a mix that doesn’t always work, and at times the 1980s period-piece jokes are almost too easy, but the dialogue is snappy, the horror scenes are effectively staged, and the cast is terrific.

Absolutely brilliant!! Not only is this my favourite horror movie it’s my favourite movie in GENERAL!! The blend of horror and comedy work very well in this film much better than some of the other comedy horrors I’ve seen that have just seemed forced and trying to be funny when they have no reason to. But overall I love this film everything from the acting to the kills to everything is BRILLIANT!!

Totally Killer may not be destined to become a classic in its own right. But the Amazon release is fun enough for a spooky season night in.

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 that couldn’t have come at a better time.

Totally Killer has its flaws, but it also has a distinct flair and charm. The film’s comedy is self-aware and witty, even if not all the comedic elements work, and there’s a love of the 80s that isn’t overshadowed by attempts to emulate it without question.

Shipka is both funny and gritty as the wry observer unwillingly drawn into the action, the kind of role at which she excels.

It wants to make a joke at its source material’s expense, but all it ever accomplishes is making you want to watch those classics instead.

I enjoy this movie a lot. Time traveling movies always seem to literally let you know “TIME TRAVELING SHOULD NOT HAPPEN” but I would definitely re-watch this movie around halloween. I enjoyed that I kept guessing through the movie who the killer was and wasn’t. Love the twist and turns. I would recommend this movie. Great job by the cast.

If only she had given blow jobs, she would still be ****'s like those plant-based Burger King nuggets: I can't tell you how they work, and they're most definitely not part of a sophisticated palate. But sometimes, when you're drunk, high, or whatever, and it's late at night, you crave that artificially flavored crispy/juicy goodness. It doesn't do anything for you, but you enjoy it in the moment. That's how I feel about TOTALLY KILLER.

Well, while I liked the concept and story on paper was interesting, second part of the movie fell a bit boring and could've been more interesting and added more scary parts too not just comedic elements.

Farklı bir şeyler denemişler ama maalesef klişeliği aşamamışlar. Vakit kaybı bir yapım...

Who decided to green light a slow paced slasher/comedy that makes you wish you were watching the movies it’s constantly referencing? Poor writing, worse acting, annoyingly typical characters, lame premise.
