Héctor (Karra Elejalde) lives with his wife Clara (Candela Fernández) in the peaceful Spanish countryside. One day, while relaxing in their backyard, Héctor spies a woman removing her clothes in a nearby forest via his binoculars. Once alone, he travels to her location to find the woman naked and presumably dead. He is attacked by an unknown, bandaged man, causing him to run further into the forest, where he stumbles upon a top-secret research facility, which happens to be home to a time machine. Upon meeting El Joven (played by director Nacho Vigalondo), a scientist in control of the facility and its machine, Héctor travels back in time one hour. Operating against El Joven’s wishes, Héctor leaves the facility, setting off a series of events with increasingly dark consequences.
The feature film debut of writer/director Nacho Vigalondo (Colossal, Open Windows), TIMECRIMES is an audacious mash-up of science fiction, horror, and murder mystery. Shot entirely on Super 16mm film by Spanish cinematographer Flavio Martínez Labiano (The Day of the Beast), a frequent collaborator of Álex de la Iglesia, and featuring almost entirely analog effects, TIMECRIMES is a lovingly old-fashioned throwback to the sci-fi films of the 60s and 70s while retaining much of the expected excesses of the genre films of the 2000s. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present Nacho Vigalondo’s impeccably crafted, often very nasty, journey through time in a brand new 4K restoration of its 35mm DI negative for its world UHD premiere.

"Although watching someone repeatedly ruin their own life lands a little too close to home, I’m glad I waited for this to arrive on 4K. This is a spectacular release of one of my favorite time travel films and VS has done in justice - with an amazing assortment of special features."
"Heard a ton about this film when it came out but never sat down to watch it. With VS putting out the definitive edition of it I gave it a shot and wasn't disappointed. Fun, head scratching time travel film with some great suspense. The extra features were a fun dive as well."
"I loved the time loop in this movie and this has fantastic packaging and presentation. Great release!"
"Excellent packaging! What a beautiful transfer and detail put into this release. I’m hoping VS picks up more of these magnet titles - I’ll be buying each one of them!"
"Really cool movie. Glad they upgraded this I only had the dvd. Great time travel flick and really cool slip box."
"What the movie might lack in actual plot is more than made up for with its labyrinthine layers of time shenanigans. The twists and turns are so plentiful, that you’re bound to forget at least one of them on every rewatch."
"Part of my first order from VS and definitely not my last! The packaging is as sleek as the pictures show. I’d say this was the perfect movie to start my VS collection. The 4K is absolutely gorgeous. The greens and reds are beautiful to look at."
"VinSyn steps a little outside of their wheelhouse, but comes up with a hidden gem! The transfer is excellent and there are plenty of bonus features. They also kill it with the packaging. The slip box is sturdy and has some fun, fitting artwork. The slip cover and reversible box are are also a very nice touch and I appreciated the booklet for some extra reading material."
"Extremely enjoyable especially on rewatch, looks amazing"
"What a great, unique time travel flick we have here. Very original take on a genre filled with boring rip offs. Some of the best artwork from VS on this release! Plentiful extras abound(great new commentary with the filmmaker), but if I had one critique I’d say the transfer isn’t as strong as one would hope for being a 4K disc. Still, this one is highly recommended!"
