Pinkface: Time travel stories usually have lots and lots of exposition. Mind-bending concepts like predestination paradox require it, don’t they? The fact that this story can be told as a silent film, without intertitles speaks volumes about the editor’s talent. Images and evocative music guide us through this story, and its associated emotions - and the synchronization of them is most impressive. Don’t let the grindhouse slasher schlock imagery mislead you – there’s some real artistic depth here.

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.

The choice of font and grindhouse effects aren't great. I didn't personally think the music was that appropriate either since it's too consistently lively and not really dynamic enough. Nevertheless, what's there is well-tweaked to coincide with certain visual cues. The narrative has generally been trimmed effectively and mostly functions well in this short format. However, it became unclear what the motives were for what transpires at the end, which also felt rushed. I have seen and liked the original film, but can't recall all the details. Overall, this is a decent alternative to the original film, but as another user has said, the original should be watched first.
