The movie, Totally Killer, is a great movie to get you in the Halloween spirit. Totally Killer is a scary movie, while still including some humor. This is a perfect movie for this spooky season because the movie keeps you hooked the whole time and the plot twists will leave you speechless. 

In comparison to other Halloween movies, Totally Killer is the perfect movie that has it all. Totally Killer is a mix of Back to the Future and Scream. This movie includes the time traveling that is used in Back to the Future. In Totally Killer, however, the main character Jamie goes back in time to try and find the masked killer that killed her parents’ friends, back in 1987. Totally Killer is similar to Scream as well because there is a masked killer and everyone is trying to hunt him down.  Totally Killer combines many good aspects of both popular movies, such as a masked killer, time travel, humor, horror, and suspense. 

Totally Killer is a very fulfilling watch. Unlike other Halloween movies, Totally Killer was very unexpected. In most Halloween movies, it is always obvious what will happen next. In this movie, there were many moments of surprise. There were many strengths throughout this movie such as: suspense, horror, humor, surprise, and curiosity. Suspense was one of the main strengths in this movie because the director knew that when there was a scary scene approaching, to make the setting match it to create a more eerie scene. Horror was used greatly when there were murder scenes and when Jamie was searching for the killer. Humor was used more as comedic relief throughout the movie to make it less scary. 

In conclusion, the movie  Totally Killer was a great watch. The movie came to a good conclusion and left me satisfied, despite everything that happened throughout the movie. This movie did not leave me on a cliffhanger; instead, it tied together all of the loose ends. Overall, this movie was definitely worth it, and it is perfect for the Halloween season.
