El incidente (2014, Isaac Ezban)
Another low-budget sci-fi mindbender involving the concept of infinite loops, kinda like Nacho Vigalondo's Timecrimes but not quite as good imo. Definitely warrants multiple viewings to get it sorted in your head. I thought some aspects of it were pretty good, others not so much. What stood out to me the most was how effective this movie was in plunging the viewer into the creepy ugliness and misery and grotesqueness of being caught in a trap like that, compared to other similar films I've seen - some of the imagery was palpably uncomfortable on a subliminal level. On the downside, I didn't like the "explanation" sequence all that much - I mean I understand the intent but I wish it was done in a less obvious, blunt manner, plus it just flashed by at lightning speed without letting the viewer catch his breath for a second and absorb all the craziness being hurled his way. Overall, pretty decent, kudos for the concept and the effort, even though I didn't really fully grasp it. Definitely worth a watch if these type of flicks are up your alley.
