Theidentity ofTime Cut ’s Sweetly Slasheris finally revealed to be Griffin Gluck ’s Quinn , but a version of him from twenty years in the future who has become increasingly bitter at being romantically rejected by Antonia Gentry ’s Summer Field - Lucy ’s sister .

Time Cut’s Mall Scene Introduces A Second Sweetly Slasher: Theory Explained

The Sweetly Slasher’s rapid movement imply the existence of an accomplice

After moot about whether to step in in the Sweetly Slasher ’s killing spree , Lucy finally choose to try and stopTime Cut ’s bad guy . During the shopping centre scene , Lucy and the Slasher ’s first victim exit their pursuer behind in a storage , blocking his itinerary a little on the way out . disregarding , the Slasher appears immediately at the bottom of the moving stairway that the two missy are fleeing down . As far as the motion-picture show reveals , Quinn lacks the power to teleport or any other mean value of journey so promptly , so this raises the possibility that there are two slasher work in tandem .

Time travel can be a hard concept to root for off , and while Netflix ’s new sci - fi horror begin off well , it cursorily loses all worldly logic .

The hypothesis only really holds up when it ’s looked at from an in - universe point of prospect , asother explanations could answer for for the Sweetly Slasher ’s rapid movement . In short , another reason for the villain ’s apparent ability is that the movie merely made a continuity error , and the miserable edit of this moment simply implies something that was never intended . instead , it may have just been a misguided attempt at a jump scare , play toTime Cut ’s secondary genre as a teen repugnance movie . Either way , the in - universe theory of another Slasher is much more compelling .

Could The Second Sweetly Slasher Be Quinn From Another Timeline?

Griffin Gluck’s villainous character implies this possibility

A second Sweetly Slasher would n’t needs mean there ’s a wholly separate culprit . Both figures are the same height and make , and are even raiment exactly the same . Therefore , it could just be that the Slashers are versions of Quinn , both of whom are from alternate - albeit similar - futures . Ifone Quinn see the same desire to defeat his targets , then it ’s not beyond the realm of possibility that another Quinn from a different futurity also live the same effect , and traveled back to the same point as his twin .

stretch this logic to its inevitable decision , there could even be more than two Quinns as the Sweetly Slasher(s ) .

Time Cut ’s sentence travel rulesare nebulous and confusing , and they do n’t particularly line up with their onscreen explanation . However , the film does prove that two Quinns can subsist alongside each otherby having Griffin Gluck play both versions of the character near the end of the movie . Future Quinn even give the vague explanation of " That ’s not how time travel wreak " when his younger self threatens to kill himself , and by extension , the Sweetly Slasher . Extending this logical system to its inevitable conclusion , there could even be more than two Quinns as the Sweetly Slasher(s ) .

Time Cuthas more in common with multiverse movies than it does with time travelling story , as the butterfly effect does n’t appear to exist . Instead , an entirely Modern reality seems to be organize with each decision , and they do n’t directly charm each other . With this in psyche , it could be that each victim was originally killed by a different Sweetly Slasher- all of whom were unlike Quinns . They could each have come from a different macrocosm where they were rejected by one of the three girls , and then take back home after .

The squad - up at the mall could be due to a Quinn being scorn by Lucy herself , which would explain why there were two Slashers there : One for Val , and one for Lucy .

Why Time Cut 2 Focusing On The Other Sweetly Slasher Would Be A Mistake

Time Cut 2 risks losing its sci-fi subgenre

AlthoughTime Cut 2hasn’t been announced , the movie ’s ending does go out many unanswered questions that could pass to a sequel . If a second film ever happens , thenTime Cut 2would scramble to rule a good enough plot line to rationalize its existence . Firstly , focusing on another Sweetly Slasher would make the subsequence feel far too much like the original , so it would be pretty pointless just retreading the same priming coat - specially considering how inadequate some of the reviews have been .

Time Cut ’s puzzling timeline shifts and twisting time travel storyline make it unvoiced not to wonder how old its main characters , Lucy and Summer , are .

Plus , a second film adjust in 2003 that focalise on the other Sweetly Slasher ’s hunting for the movie ’s main ternary would belike be null of any time travel . A big part ofTime Cut ’s appeal is the intellectual , time - hopping constituent of its serial grampus . If a sequel is just a cheesy adolescent slasher that ’s just as unretentive on gore as its herald , it becomes ill-defined who that movie would even be for . What would be far more interesting would be to delve into the multiverse construct taunt by the presence of two selfsame Slashers inTime Cut ’s promenade scene .
