What is the identity of the 'Sweetly Slasher' in Time Cut?
In Time Cut, the 'Sweetly Slasher' is revealed to be a future version of Quinn, one of the three main characters. In the film's 2003 timeline, he is a high school student bullied by his classmates. He also professes his love for Summer, who rejects him.
These experiences make Quinn resent Summer and her friends - Emmy, Val, and Brian. In the future, Quinn becomes a skilled physicist and invents a time machine to go back to 2003. He uses it to seek revenge and murder those who hurt him.
As the 'Sweetly Slasher,' Quinn's future self returns to 2003, kills his former classmates, and goes back to the future. Towards the end, Lucy's encounter with 'Future Quinn' helps disclose the killer's secrets to young Quinn. Seeing this alternate reality allows him to break free from his tragic fate.
Why is the killer never caught?
In Time Cut, the killer (Future Quinn) never gets caught because he is a time traveler. After committing the murders, he returns to his original timeline, erasing his existence. When Lucy saves Summer in the 2003 timeline, she is brought face-to-face with the 'Sweetly Slasher.' She follows him to 2024 and ends up killing him.
Her actions prevent Summer's murder, and at the same time, she erases her own existence because her parents only had her to get over the grief of losing Summer. Since Lucy kills 'Future Quinn' in the end, the killer's real identity never gets revealed to the world. The movie concludes with Lucy staying back in 2003 with Quinn and Summer.
Time Cut is now available on Netflix.
