Directed by Nahnatchka Khan from a book by David Matalon , Sasha Perl - Raver and Jen D’Angelo , Totally Killermay not put exactly the same form of repugnance - comedy slant on slasher material asThe Final Girls , but its assumption does vocalise basically the same , as it involve the agonist being transported into a new reality where they must face down a slayer .
