1980s nostalgia has been relatively ubiquitous in media over the last decade, and nowhere has it been more prevalent than in horror cinema. The horror genre, even more so than most genres, moves in waves.
Totally Killer contains a funny and entertaining blend of science fiction, slasher and comedy writing, drawing comedic comparisons between the cultures of the 1980s and 2020s through its time travel plot. As a modern teen, Jamie finds herself unable to blend in among the '80s fashion and slang of the other teens, excusing her behavior as a cultural difference between Americans and Canadians in order to keep her cover.
With a frantic pace that causes the situation to quickly devolve into absolute chaos, the film is intentionally disorientating with the intention of mirroring the Lovecraftian theme of the universe being impossible for the human mind to comprehend. Due to its themes, imagery and its use of grotesque body horror, the film bears many similarities to 1980s horror films, especially those adapted from or inspired by Lovecraft's works.
The V/H/S series as a whole is a celebration of home video and the horror genre, allowing filmmakers' imaginations to run wild in their short time slots. A particular stand-out is Mike P. Nelson's two-part entry, consisting of 'No Wake' and 'Ambrosia', which utilize the trappings of teen camping horror and cult horror to tell an interwoven and unique story with some great shock moments.
