Although it quickly climbed to No. 1 on the Netflix top 10 movies chart following its release last week, the time-travel horror movie “Time Cut” has not exactly been a hit with people who watched it. Critics have torn it apart, with a 19 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the RT audience rating (34 percent) isn’t much better. TG’s Alix Blackburn called it “lacking in intensity and emotional depth.”
“Time Cut” features stars from two of Netflix’s biggest series, with Madison Bailey of “Outer Banks” as a high school student who inadvertently travels back to 2003, when a mysterious killer is about to take out several teens, including her sister (Antonia Gentry of “Ginny & Georgia”). Director and co-writer Hannah MacPherson takes a bland, lifeless approach to the material, with watered-down, nearly bloodless kills and a mostly incoherent understanding of the rules of time travel.
