Time Cut

Time Cut tries to blend nostalgic 2000s vibes with a modern horror twist, but it just ends up feeling confused about its own identity. The plot takes too long to get going, and once it does, the execution is all over the place. It feels like it was aiming for a Scream or Totally Killer kind of self-aware horror, but the writing doesn't have the sharpness to pull it off. The directing is serviceable but uninspired, and the cinematography doesn’t do much to elevate the experience. It’s visually competent, but nothing stands out as particularly creative or memorable.

The acting is a mixed bag, with some performances feeling decent while others struggle with awkward dialogue. The script doesn’t do the cast any favors, filled with lines that don’t land and character decisions that make you question the logic behind them. If there’s one redeeming quality, it’s the soundtrack, which absolutely nails the early 2000s aesthetic. But even that feels like it’s trying too hard to sell the era rather than naturally fitting into the movie. Ultimately, Time Cut is forgettable, and the best part about it might just be looking up the soundtrack on YouTube and moving on.
