Timecrimes

Now I get to say something that I'd really like to say more often: this was the best time travel movie I've ever seen.

The plot starts out simply; a couple is house-sitting out in the country, and the husband stumbles into a weird science experiment when he goes exploring in the woods. And of course, as with any time travel movie, things rapidly get more complicated.

And while the direction is good, and the acting is better than good, the key ingredient is that the plot fits perfectly and still leaves the viewer surprised at the end. It's hard to say any more without giving things away, but all the right pieces are here, and it's a really fun ride.
