PRODUCTION NOTES

▸ Production

In May 2021, it was announced that a script written by Michael Kennedy and Sono Patel would be directed by Hannah MacPherson. Madison Bailey and Antonia Gentry were the first cast members announced to star in the film. Additional cast members were revealed when a 2024 release was announced.

Filming was to take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada between June 21 and July 28, 2021. Principal photography eventually began on July 6 and ended in August, with cinematography work done by Tony Mirza and Halyna Hutchins before Hutchins worked on her final film, Rust (2024). The production of Time Cut used unloaded guns, yet the firearms safety personnel still followed standard safety precautions to ensure the entire cast and crew was aware.

CRITICAL RECEPTION

Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film 2/5 stars, writing, "Like the dreadful second Happy Death Day film, there's far too much focus on the particulars of time travel, as if we expect or want a film like this to be rooted in any actual science, and like the many high-concept horrors that we've seen of late, there's a laziness to how it handles the simple slasher beats." RogerEbert.com's Brian Tallerico gave it 1/4 stars, writing, "the accusations that this film follows in [Totally Killer]'s time-jumping footsteps are inevitable. But this film's failure can't be laid at the feet of a superior one. If that movie never existed—heck, if time jump movies in general never existed—this would still be a bad movie." The A.V. Club's Matt Donato gave it a C− grade, calling it "a glancing blow of a snoozy slasher far more interested in being a 2000s rewound comedy, meeting somewhere in the unenthusiastic middle."

The Hindus Mini Anthikad-Chhibber was more positive, writing, "The fun thing about Time Cut is it does not take itself too seriously like some other weighty incursions into the fabric of the space-time continuum." Empires Ben Travis gave it 3/5 stars, calling it "a passable addition to the slash-up genre – acceptable Halloween fare for the fright-challenged, or anyone with a soft spot for the music of Hilary Duff." Dais Johnston of Inverse wrote, "Time Cut is a movie that fundamentally understands what makes time travel stories interesting. It's not the science behind them, but how the characters react to the circumstances they find themselves in. It doesn't matter how Lucy learns she might cease to exist, but how she chooses to spare her own life or her sister's. Keeping the story simple allows every scene to glow and crackle like the time machine's lasers or a 2003 modem."
