HOLY F**K, what a ride!
The idea alone is enough to hook you. Talking to someone 20 years in the past sounds cool on paper until you really start thinking about the consequences. One small change doesn’t just fix things, it warps everything. And this movie leans hard into that. Every time you think, “okay, maybe now it’s safe,” it immediately proves you wrong. The butterfly effect here isn’t subtle, it’s brutal.
The movie kept me locked in almost the entire time. No dead air, no boredom. Just constant “wait… WHAT?” moments. The tension ramps up fast, and once it turns dark, it doesn’t let go. Watching the past and present collide in real time is genuinely stressful in the best way. It messes with your head because you start realizing that sometimes the worst thing you can do is interfere at all. Some things are just meant to happen, and trying to outsmart fate can literally turn someone into a serial killer.
The acting absolutely carries this movie. Both leads commit hard, especially the villain. She’s unsettling in a way that sticks with you. It never feels cartoonish, it feels wrong, which makes it scarier. Visually, the movie looks great too. The atmosphere does a lot of heavy lifting and adds to that constant uneasy feeling.
That said… man, that ending.
I was so on board until they decided to pull that final move. I’m fine with dark endings. I’m fine with unhappy endings. But this one just felt like it tripped over itself trying to be clever. Instead of feeling earned, it felt like the movie flipping the table at the last second just to shock you. It took me from “holy shit this is great” to “why would you do that?” real fast.
Still, even with that ending, I can’t say I regret watching it. The concept is strong, the ride is wild, and it keeps your brain working long after the credits roll. Just be prepared: you’re probably going to love most of it… and then get pissed off right at the end.
Worth watching. Just don’t expect to walk away fully satisfied.
