We are all pumped up with excitement about Nacho Vigalondo's great sci-fi mind twister TIMECRIMES, which opens today at the Village. But we're not the only ones. The Austin Chronicle has made it the AC Pick of the Week, and Marc Savlov positively enthuses about the film, "Timecrimes is a tremendously entertaining bit of Kafka that whirlpools down into The Twilight Zone." And: "One helluva blast to watch." That's news we can use!

About TIMECRIMES:

Lauded short film director Vigalondo makes his feature debut with this tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry. An incredibly well crafted time-travel story, TIMECRIMES doesn't spend money on extravagant effects, although the visual style of the film is great. Instead, the layered science-fiction plot is created through fabulous writing and solid acting from a very small cast of characters.

Though not much can be said about this time-travel thriller's plot without giving too much away, here's a cryptic synopsis from Vigalondo himself:

"A man who accidentally travels back into the past and meets himself. A naked girl in the middle of the forest. A mysterious stranger with his face wrapped in a pink bandage. A disquieting mansion on the top of a hill. All of them pieces of an unpredictable jigsaw puzzle where terror, drama and suspense will lead to an unthinkable crime. Who's the murderer? Who's the victim?"

Also, after the 9:50 show on Friday, January 16 on the opening weekend of TIMECRIMES at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, you are all invited for a karaoke party in honor of our favorite Spanish director, Nacho Vigalondo. Nacho's karaoke performances are legendary, and it only seems fitting on the Austin opening night of his feature TIMECRIMES to break out the synthesized beats and wireless microphones for a song party in his honor. Fantastic Fest veterans, this is the show to come to. Bring your friends and share the rare and potent blend of time-travel suspense thrillers and spirited renditions of 80s pop classics.

With an amazing preshow of Nacho Vigalondo's best short films for your amusement. Here's one of his shorts we really love, 7:35 In The Morning.
