Has anyone seen this? I've seen trailers for it a few months ago. I guess it never made it to the theaters and is going direct to DVD. The trailer looked quite good.

Time Crimes (2009 on DVD)
The plot of recent Spanish hit "Time Crimes" is fairly simple:Hector accidentally gets into a time machine and travels back in time nearly an hour.Finding himself will be the first of a series of disasters of unforeseeable consequences.The feature length debut of Nacho Vigalondo is a pretty good science-fiction thriller with a sprinkle of horror thrown in.The time machine looks similarly to the contraptions used in 60's time travel sci-fi flicks.The central performance of Karra Elejalde is excellent and his character is sympathetic and believable.Although many of the twists and turns of the story can be guessed quite early on,they are in some ways all the more enjoyable for that and Vigalondo impressively combines thriller,horror,dark comedy and even slapstick elements without making things feel forced.A little bit of nudity provided by beautiful Barbara Goenaga certainly helps!

Saw the trailer but never saw the film. It certainly looked good but it seemed to drop off the radar shortly after being released.

I just watched it. Took a bit to get the subtitles to work. I had to "load" it on MPC.

:? I'm not sure how it ended...or why it ended...I'm just not sure...but it was interesting to watch...and there was a hot nakid chick.
