4K UHD Review – Timecrimes

2007’s “Timecrimes” is the directorial debut for Nacho Vigalondo. He’s gone on to create such pictures as 2016’s “Colossal” and 2024’s “Daniela Forever,” offering unusual blends of dark humor and fantasy/sci-fi interests, and his debut feature introduces a helmer ready to impress with his command of twisty storytelling. A time-travel tale of increasing panic, “Timecrimes” is a small-scale study of self-destruction, with Vigalondo trying to play with confusion and dark clarity as he creates an evening of horror for a man who simply wants to rest in his house in the country. The movie runs out of steam before it finds an ending, but Vigalondo provides a good hour of appealing disorientation and mystery, making for an enjoyable brain-bleeder. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
