Thirty-five years after the shocking murder of three teens, the infamous "Sweet Sixteen Killer" returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim. Seventeen-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) ignores her overprotective mom's (Julie Bowen) warning and comes face-to-face with the masked maniac and, on the run for her life, accidentally time travels back to 1987, the year of the original killings. Forced to navigate the unfamiliar and outrageous culture of the 1980s, Jamie teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all, before she's stuck in the past forever.

Critics Consensus

Totally Killer may not take full advantage of its promising conceit, but this time-traveling horror/sci-fi mashup is still enjoyable overall.

Audience Says

Totally Killer has fun with its premise and Kiernan Shipka is great in the lead, so even if this isn't the best movie of its kind, it's still well worth a watch.

The Age (Australia)

It’s a mix of masked murderers and social satire, as Jamie has to navigate the “problematic” new world she finds herself in. Nahnatchka Khan’s movie is slight but enjoyable, and Mad Men star Shipka is a deft horror heroine.

Variety

In trying to break the tension with humor, too many horror movies undercut their emotional stakes by instead being glib, a pitfall “Totally Killer” mostly manages to avoid.

AV Club

It’s not necessarily a new slasher classic, but it is the kind of film horror devotees can happily kick back and enjoy on a cozy Friday night in October, and that’s a particular achievement all its own.

Rated: B

Discussing Film

Will this be anyone’s new favorite horror film? Doubtful, but it might be someone’s new favorite comedy. It boasts loads of genuine heart and a snappy sense of humor, resulting in a great comfort watch for many going forward.

Rated: 4/5

Totally Killer is a film that checks all of the boxes, taking great pride in its inclusion of the tropes and clichés of the genre.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Kiernan Shipka and Olivia Holt are top notch leading ladies of a comedy slasher story with plenty of soul and gnarly kills.

Positives: Horror was done right, the nostalgia wasn't forced, the comedy was timed and executed perfectly, the pacing was good and the performances were decent. Negatives: Very predictable suspense and you pretty much know how the movie is going to end from the beginning. It was a smart move to have this release exclusively on streaming. It's not a cinematic spectacle and makes for a great movie to watch at home or during a long trip.

Great mix of horror/comedy. You really indulge in the story and get thrown off by all the twists and turns, but in a good way

Good idea but disappointing. Quite a few dumb decisions and explanations. But the idea is very cool, wish they could have done a bit better

If I were a teenager watching it w/ friends I might enjoy it. Otherwise I see zero appeal to this by the numbers bore fest.
