DVD Review: Timecrimes

This Spanish time-travel thriller follows businessman Hector (Karra Elejalde) and wife Clara (Candela Fernandez) moving into their new country home. While investigating the area, Hector is attacked by a mummy-like figure and ends up in a lab, where he discovers a scientist (director Nacho Vigalondo) and a pod-like time machine. The film’s crafty plot and nifty cinematic trickery should keep viewers on their toes.

Shelf Talk: Part of Magnolia’s genre-oriented Magnet line, Timecrimes will appeal to horror, sci-fi and foreign-film fans as well as college-age students.
