It was ok. More of a Mildly Amusing Mystery than a Slasher-Comedy.
Just watched it today.
Although it's being marketed as a 80’s style Time-Traveling Slasher-Comedy, it's actually more of a Mystery-Whodunnit sprinkled with 80's slasher elements and some mildly-amusing moments.
The 80's aesthetic was pretty cool and largely worked, from its production design to its wardrobe, although one character looked more like a 90’s Jared Leto than a 1987 high-schooler.
The acting was pretty good too, with most of the cast doing the best they could with what they were given. The music and cinematography were serviceable, although neither really stood out.
The movie's biggest shortcomings, however, were it's attempts at comedy. The script could have used a rewrite by an experienced comedy writer, as despite a couple of humorous moments, much of the comedy was nowhere near as funny as it wanted to be.
Also, the ending reveal of the killer’s identity and motivation was lackluster and unsatisfying, it didn't really feel like there was much of a pay-off.
Despite it’s shortcomings, it’s not a terrible film and entertaining enough.
Worth a watch for fans of Time-Travel movies or 80’s slashers, just keep your expectations low going in.
I give it a 6/10
