What The Totally Killer Trailer Reveals About The Movie

Much like films such as Freaky, Happy Death Day, and Scream, Totally Killer effectively combines horror and comedy. Interestingly, the trailer hints at the possibility of the movie leaning towards comedy rather than horror, as it is filled with numerous humorous moments. With an R rating for "bloody violence, language, sexual material, and teen drug/alcohol use," the red band trailer offers viewers a preview of the witty and provocative jokes to anticipate in the film.

Totally Killer was previously criticized on social media for its similarities to the 2015 film The Final Girls, with even the director, Todd Strauss-Schulson, acknowledging the resemblance. However, the new trailer not only highlights the similarities but also showcases distinct differences in terms of the main characters, comedic tone, and the portrayal of its 1980s backdrop.

In addition, the trailer offers a glimpse of time-travel elements reminiscent of Back to the Future, with Shipka's character interacting with a younger version of her mother. The trailer also introduces the movie's talented supporting cast, including Olivia Holt, Charlie Gillespie, Lochlyn Munro, Troy Leigh-Ann Johnson, Liana Liberato, and Julie Bowen, among others. While it remains to be seen if Totally Killer will be a success on Prime Video, viewers won't have to wait much longer as the movie will be available for streaming next month.
