Totally Killer

Is going back in time to help out your parents, or your younger self, becoming a sub-genre? There’s plenty to recommend in this horror movie version of “Bill & Ted’s” but it’s not the hill I’m gonna die on. Kiernan Shipka is becoming a leading lady, and maneuvers her way through the gimmicky plot easily and believably as the “final girl”. At times this is pretty funny, but are those “nostalgia” laughs? As in, “Look at her hair! That’s so ‘80s!”? Yet another movie that seems like it should have gone to theaters, but maybe I don’t understand the distribution business as well as I could.
