Autopilot Rom-Com and Looping Nightmares: A Four-Film Review Roundup

Four new releases are reviewed: You, Me & Tuscany is buoyed by Halle Bailey but crippled by ugly visuals; Exit 8 creates an atmospheric loop-like mood yet drags; Hamlet as a modern London adaptation limps under busy camerawork and editing, despite Riz Ahmed's strong turn; Faces Of Death uses meta-horror to critique online content but doesn’t fully land. Overall, the round-up is mixed, with several high-potential ideas undercut by execution issues.

"Totally Killer: Prime Video's Time-Travel Slasher Comedy Delivers Laughs and Scares"

"Totally Killer," a new time-traveling slasher comedy on Prime Video starring Kiernan Shipka, blends '80s horror nostalgia with comedic elements. While it includes jump scares and some slashing scenes, it leans more towards humor than being genuinely scary. The movie pokes fun at '80s scary movies and the era itself, making it an entertaining watch for Shipka fans. However, viewers should be aware that it carries an R rating and features a moderate amount of gore.

"The Blackening": A Clever and Hilarious Take on Horror Tropes.

"The Blackening" is a slasher satire directed by Tim Story and written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins. The film subverts horror tropes and is based on a Comedy Central sketch of the same name by the comedy group 3PEAT. The movie is intelligent, aware of its genre's history, and very funny. The Blackening anticipates an animated audience and builds that into its humor. The film pays homage to the slasher tradition, but doesn't always quite reach its full scare potential.
