From slashers to comedies, 2024 continues to be a strong year for horror movies, and I’ve had fun checking out the latest releases, including Blumhouse’s remake of Speak No Evil. There’s an upcoming Netflix horror movie called Time Cut that also looks promising, but I have some thoughts about the plot and the main trope that it’s using.

Time Cut stars Madison Bailey as a teenage girl named Lucy Fields who travels back in time to stop her sister, played by Antonia Gentry, from being murdered. The two leads are strong actors who are both known for their main roles on Netflix shows. Bailey plays Kiara “Kie” Carrera on Outer Banks and Gentry plays Ginny Miller on Ginny and Georgia, which is getting a third season. While I’m excited to check out Time Cut, I don’t always enjoy the way that the horror genre uses time travel tropes…
