Timestalker

 


Alice Lowe’s debut feature, Prevenge (2016), is a comedy slasher that is revered amongst horror (and comedy) fans. Having also co-wrote Sightseers (2012), the black comedy about two caravaners who go on a murder spree, there was some expectation about what to expect from Lowe next. A historical science fictional rom-com like Timestalker was definitely not on the bingo card. 

Throughout the centuries, Agnes falls in love with the same man, and each time ends up dying, only to be reincarnated to relive the same scenario. Trapped in what feels like a never-ending loop, she must come to terms with the truth staring in the face the whole time.
