Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Totally Killer (2023)

Jamie winds up back in 1987 trying to solve murders that haven't yet occurred in order to keep her own mother from falling victim to the same killer in 2023. Since I went to high school in the '80s, this was particularly hilarious to me -- especially each instance in which caveman (and cavewoman!!) thinking is exposed. Every time Jamie said something like "that's homophobic" or "unwanted touch" I just guffawed. How wonderful that things have changed so much.

It's transparently "Back to the Future but make it horror" and damned if it doesn't work beautifully.

B+
