Just when you thought the teen slasher genre has worn itself out, here's a
highly original film that breathes new life into the genre. It does this by
adding the element of time travel.
The film begins in 2024. Lucy is a teenage girl who lives in the shadow of her
older sister Summer, who was murdered by a serial killer before she was born.
Her parents make no secret of the fact that they gave birth to Lucy at a late
time in their life to get a replacement for the daughter they'd lost.
Lucy finds a time machine in a barn that's been set to travel to 14th April
2003, two days before her sister's death. She sees this as a chance to prevent
the killer murdering her sister. The problem is that if she saves Summer's
life she'll never be born. But if she's never born, she won't be able to save
Summer. The possible time paradoxes are mind-bending. Does time travel really
work like that?
Potentially an intellectual film, "Time Cut" remains a thrilling teen slasher
story. Wait for the surprises, which I didn't expect. An excellent film.
