Kiernan Shipka is kicking ass and trying to stop a serial killer in the trailer for time-travelling comedy slasher Totally Killer, which hails from Blumhouse and Prime Video.

Per the synopsis, Totally Killer follows the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer” as they return on Halloween night, 35 years after their shocking murder of three teens, to claim a fourth victim. 17-year-old Jamie (Shipka) ignores her overprotective mom’s (Julie Bowen) warning and comes face-to-face with the masked maniac and, on the run for her life, accidentally time travels back to 1987, to the day before the murderer’s first killing. She’s then forced to navigate the unfamiliar and outrageous culture of the 1980s, teaming up with a teenage version of her mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all, before she’s stuck in the past forever.

Think of it as Back to the Future meets Scream, with a sprinkle of Minority Report thrown in. Basically, this looks like an absolute blast.

Directed by Always Be My Maybe filmmaker Nahnatchka Khan, Totally Killer is co-written by David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver and Jen D’Angelo. The cast also includes Randall Park, Charlie Gillespie, Lochlyn Munro, Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson, Liana Liberato, Kelcey Mawema, Stephi Chin-Salvo, Anna Diaz, Ella Choi, Jeremy Monn-Djasgnar, Nathaniel Appiah, and Jonathan Potts.
