Netflix's new slasher time travels to 2003 & includes a gay twist

Time Cut, a brand-new teen slasher, dropped on Netflix just in time for Halloween — and boasts a queer twist!

Madison Bailey plays Lucy, a teenage girl living in the shadow of her sister who was murdered by a serial killer 20 years earlier. On the anniversary of her sister Summer’s death, Lucy stumbles upon a time travel machine and is zapped back to 2003.

Suddenly, she’s navigating life with no phones, 2000s fashion, and the information to save the sibling she’s never met. Things only get more complicated when she collides with all of the victims, potential suspects, and her late sister.

Where the film cuts corners on side character arcs and violence, it makes up for in heart. It pays homage to our favorite 90s and 2000s slashers like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, makes all the jokes you’d expect from a Gen Z going back in time to before social media and iPhones existed, and even includes a montage to Hilary Duff’s “So Yesterday.”

The movie is more somber than you’d expect, a sci-fi-tinged exploration of grief and the ripple effects of loss. Lucy struggles to find her place in the world, where she lives in the shadow of her dead sister. When she travels back to 2003, she meets her parents before they were so deeply traumatized, and is shocked to see them happy and emotionally available.

Both of the siblings’ fates get even more complicated when Lucy realizes that if she saves her sister, she might never be born.

While we don’t want to completely spoil the clever plot twists, one character’s sexuality is a key part of the story and gives us a truly adorable gay moment.

And the most important question Time Cut asks: how much can a glimpse of your future change who you are now?

Time Cut is available to stream now on Netflix.
