Time Travel Consecution, Episode 6

This short takes the first two runs in Timecrimes and aggressively cuts them down, whilst discarding all original audio in favour of a well chosen score that keeps the tension high. A very well done edit. It's impressive how much of the film Neglify has gotten into only 12 minutes.

Before watching this edit, I strongly recommend having seen the original first, it's an excellent film and this edit spoils one of the main reveals.

For this Time Travel Consecution entry, Neglify goes for a more musical, moody and artsy approach and it works wonderfully.

I saw the original, criminally unknown movie "Time Crimes" before watching this short and I knew the outcome but as I was watching it, I kept wondering how he'd pull off telling that story without dialog and especially under 15 minutes.

Negilfy made all the right choices and the short feels more like a dark poem in moving images than a traditional short film with a clear narrative. This will stand up to repeated viewings and I know I will certainly watch it many, many more times in the coming years.

What the, who the, how the, where the… when the? This short only gives you a vague idea of what’s going on, but that doesn’t matter as much as you might think. The silent treatment really works - it’s all about the music here. This short brings you on some sort of messed up journey, but it does it so well you just might wind up smiling at the worst parts.

I don't know if I understood everything but I don't care, I understood enough and the style and music were perfectly combined for a great experience.
Reminded me a bit the mood of Polanski's The Tenant mixed with a slasher movie. Another good edit on this consecution project.
