My quick rating - 4,4/10. Intro music has an 80s-early 90s sci-fi/comedy feel to it which could be a good thing. The story has some serious potential for either the comedy or horror side that doesn't get close to hitting stride on either. A married couple is working on a machine to time travel and when the drunken wife gives it a spin on her own she accidentally opens up a new issue. That of a new cloned version of her arriving every day for what they calculate to be 3600 times. I have to think that our author and star Brea Grant is an insatiable narcissist who thought to herself "I love myself so much I want to be around a whole bunch of versions of ME all the time." That theory definitely fits into the social media world we are in. Had the movie stayed the course of murdering the other versions, I may have thought the opposite and that she was making fun of that very same world. So with the new burden of extra Breas arriving every day, the first thought is to kill them so there are never two in the same place at the same time. That pesky time paradox but then the movie strays from that and ventures into the easiest way to film during a pandemic and not need actors. Play a ton of the characters yourself. The possible jokes that could've been explored are barely touched upon and the horror side is not at all. It just ended up being a slightly fun experiment that gets lost in its premise and then wanders around until it ends. I am using the term ends quite loosely since it gave you one of those that really doesn't. I will say how they left it does kind of work since they had backed themselves into a corner I don't think there was a way out of. Worth a watch for sci-fi fans who like their flix light-hearted and don't mind a potential slew of issues with consistency. Oh, and even if I am dogging Brea for her rationale for writing this, she actually does a pretty good job in all her roles here, although I think she should've stretched a bit more for the evil incarnations. Cheap rental below if interested.
