Time Cut is a 2024 American science fiction slasher film directed by Hannah MacPherson, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Kennedy.
The plot follows Lucy, a teenage girl who accidentally travels back in time to 2003 and attempts to save her older sister from a masked killer.
On April 16, 2003, in the small town of Sweetly, Minnesota, high school senior Summer Field unenthusiastically attends the senior class celebration Spring Fling, as her close friends Emmy, Brian, and Val were recently murdered by a serial killer dubbed the Sweetly Slasher.
Her lifelong friend Quinn tries to give her an envelope, but Summer brushes him off, and does the same when her recent ex-boyfriend Ethan asks her to dance.
Downtown has been left decrepit, people continue to talk about the unsolved murders, and Lucy accompanies her parents to the small shrine to the victims in front of the barn.
Noticing a light flash from a nearby hay barn, Lucy finds a time machine and accidentally travels back to the year 2003, two days before her sister Summer was murdered by the Slasher.
While Lucy and Quinn steal fuel for the time machine, Summer attends the dance where she publicly confesses her love for Emmy.
