I saw Time Crimes at Montreals fantasia film festival. It is a premise with potential but the way the film lays it out, every coincidence seems overly convenient, implausibly strange, and repeatedly the ethics and true nature of the main character are called into question. Was this review helpful?
Music The low budget "Los cronocrímenes", a.k.a. And it's a great movie. 3.5 out of 5 stars. 73 out of 116 found this helpful. There's a more than fair amount of suspense, beautiful photography and atmospheric musical guidance. There are not really any plot holes except that main character acts somewhat in fear of not ruining what he knows happens, at least at first, which is somewhat dubious, but the consistency is preserved. He also steals another car, breaks his fourth fence, and destroys the nice coffee table he'd bought for his wife earlier in the day, (while he's locked her in the shed). IF you get a chance to check it out definitely do so. The special effects are nothing special at all. Fortunately the buzz from our half full screening was enough to sell out the second screening at the festival. He decides to go there just to find that same girl (Bárbara Goenaga) laying on a rock. This is a must see for every sci-fi and horror movie lover. Was this review helpful? 116 out of 159 found this helpful.
Wow, this one took me by surprise. He is simply lured into the woods by a beautiful naked woman, and then attacked and chased my a masked maniac man, who eventually frightens him enough to break into a building and then trap himself, by climbing into a large vat filled with milk. He is stabbed in the arm by a mysterious man with pink bandages on his face. This has it all. Unfortunately, when a story seems so off center, the good work that was put into it seems utterly lost. 90 out of 163 found this helpful. Despite the scientist's warning, Héctor 2 drives off in a car, passing a cyclist, only to be run off the road by a van, cutting his head, which he wraps using the bandage from his arm wound. Beautifully shot, well thought out and entertaining the entire way through. This is all done in an ingenious and entertaining way.
And each situation has a sense of deja vu to it and is great fun to watch. but suddenly he finds himself chased by a madman with an uncanny bandage wrapped around his head and waving around a pair of scissors. And it always drives me nuts. There are also many scenes that have no logic at all and if you see the whole movie you get the feeling that there is no logic in the big picture also. The sets look like a normal environment. Speaking of acting, there are really only four actors in this film, two of which are very minor, and one is the director. The director, Nacho Vigalondo told us this was his world premiere and he was very nervous giving his introduction. "Time is a storm in which we are all lost." This is the kind of film that makes film festivals. He then inexplicably breaks into his own house and accidentally murders a woman he thinks is his wife, which results in his having to go back in time again to correct his mistake. 60 out of 106 found this helpful. The bandage turns pink from absorbing the blood. The movie is well made. Upon waking, he informs the scientist he has failed and to stop Héctor 2 by any means. Hector doesn't have the time for that, ha ha. And yet, there is not a dull moment in this extraordinarily good film. 24 out of 36 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? The last things you expect to see are normal, identifiable characters in their everyday environments and how they're suddenly and involuntarily involved in Science-Fictionesque situations. After about 90 minutes, I realized my second movie at Fantastic Fest 2007 may be the best one I see all week. He lays her out naked on the ground and then stabs Hector 1 in the arm when he arrives. Héctor contacts the scientist over a walkie-talkie and convinces him to lure Héctor's past self to the lab with warnings that he is being pursued. I would hate to give away even the smallest of details, the title says everything you need to know. This is a fun movie. Switch The reason we don't get more warnings of this danger, you understand, is that travelers into the past tend to do things which inalterably change the future, so that their present no longer exists for them to return to. Mysterious and frightening events lead an ordinary guy to a laboratory with a time machine. Muppets Now: Season 1 And this is the Hector that is allowed to live. © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc.

A great movie (like this one) does not need: famous name actors, good-looking/sexy protagonists, stupendous sets, expensive special effects, gratuitous violence, & violent shocks to be a successful, entertaining, and provocative movie, which this is in every respect.
