Looking for a film that rolls slashers and time travel comedy together? Then get ready for Totally Killer.

Produced by Blumhouse (which brought us the insanity that is M3GAN), Totally Killer introduces a terrifying new movie murderer: the Sweet Sixteen Killer. In 1987, this Michael Myers-like murderer went on a killing spree, never to be caught. 35 years later, the masked maniac returns on Halloween night to claim another life — and they've got jaded teen Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) in their sights.

On the run from the Sweet Sixteen Killer, Jamie accidentally stumbles back in time to 1987 (as one does), where she teams up with her younger mom (Olivia Holt) to prevent the murder of her friends. But between skeptical cops, getaways to creepy cabins in the woods, and the threat of being stuck in the past forever, Jamie's quest is going to be much, much harder than she thought.

Totally Killer hits Prime Video Oct. 6.
