TIMECRIMES

Timecrimes

Rating: ★★★★☆ 

Directed By: Nacho Vigalondo

Starring: Karra Elejalde, Candela Fernández, Nacho Vigalondo

Plot Synopsis:

Lauded short film director Nacho Vigalondo makes his feature debut with this tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry.

Hector (Karra Elejalde) is relaxing on a lawn chair outside of his new country home, surveying the nearby hillside through a pair of binoculars, when he catches sight of what appears to be a nude woman amidst the trees. Hiking up to investigate, he is attacked by a sinister figure whose head is wrapped in a grotesque, pink bandage.

Fleeing in terror, he takes refuge in a laboratory atop the hill, where a lone attendant (director Nacho Vigalondo) ushers him in to a peculiar scientific contraption. He emerges what seems to be moments later, only to find that he has traveled back hours in time, setting in motion a brain-twisting, horrifying chain of events. [Trailer Addict]

Review:

Timecrimes is one of those films that is best viewed when you don’t know anything about the film.  Avoid the trailer on this one! All I knew was that it was a mystery, thriller involving some sort of time travel.  If you go into the film like this, you’ll have a blast with this mind bending puzzle of a thriller.
