## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Totally Killer is a 2023 film centered on the return of a serial murderer known as the Sweet Sixteen Killer. The story begins thirty-five years after the figure first conducted a murder spree and returns to claim another victim. Seventeen-year-old Jamie becomes the protagonist of the narrative when she accidentally travels back in time to the year 1987. Upon arriving in the past, Jamie discovers herself in the era where the initial crimes occurred. She becomes determined to intervene in the events of the past to stop the killer before his spree can begin. The film explores the intersection of these two time periods as the character attempts to alter the course of history to prevent the future murders. The plot relies on the premise of time travel as a mechanism for Jamie to confront the infamous figure during his original active period. By navigating the setting of 1987, Jamie works to change the outcome of the events that lead to the killer's historical reputation.
