Netflix has released a trailer for its new time-hopping teen slasher film Time saving, but even if it seems to be a copy of one of Prime Video’s best horror films Total killer, I still plan on tuning in to watch it this Halloween.
The spooky season is upon us and the best streaming service is ready to bring us another terrifying movie in the form of Y2K sci-fi slasher Time saving where a nostalgic trip back to the 1990s is a matter of life and death – especially for Lucy Field (Madison Bailey), a high school student who travels back in time to save her sister from being murdered.
In the trailer (see below), once Lucy has incorporated the 2003 fashion choices of low-rise jeans, heels and UGG boots into the school hallways, Lucy goes on a mission to stop the masked killer (sound familiar?) from a to commit murder. anger towards her sister. As if that wasn’t hard enough, it seems she also has to contend with the destruction of the space-time continuum. It sure seems like it Back to the future meet Scream.
Time saver versus total killer
While Time saving has the potential to be one of the best Netflix movies, it seems to follow a similar premise Total killer on Prime Video, which pays tribute to ’80s slashers and time travel films. In Time saving, coming out on October 30, Lucy discovers a time machine and decides to try to stop the murder of her older sister Summer (Antonia Gentry), a crime that haunts her young life.
Meanwhile, inside Total killer, A notorious killer returns on Halloween night to kill a fourth victim, 35 years after murdering three teenagers. When 17-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) encounters the masked psychopath, time travels back to 1987. While trying to navigate the alien environment, Jamie joins forces with her teenage mother (Olivia Holt) to stop the killer forever .
Although it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Time saving following in the footsteps of Total killer as the latter has a scarily good Rotten Tomatoes score of 87% and has become one of the best Prime Video films. Still, I’m ready to go back to the early 2000s Time saving.
