Happy Death Day
gave us a horror spin on Groundhog Day and
Freaky
did the same for Freaky Friday. Now Back to the Future gets a similar reworking with
director Nahnatchka Khan's Totally Killer.

sees Kiernan Shipka as Jamie, a teen who accidentally travels back
35 years to a time when her town is being menaced by a killer. Teaming up
with the teenage version of her mom (Olivia Holt), Jamie attempts
to stop the killer and change history.

The official synopsis reads:
35 years after the shocking murder of three teens, the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer“ returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim. 17-year-old Jamie (Kiernan 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, the year of the original killings. Forced to navigate the unfamiliar and outrageous culture of the 1980s, Jamie teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all before she’s stuck in the past forever.
