A scientist creates a time machine and kills their younger self to see what would happen. And that self-obsessed, misanthrope, mad genius of a scientist is Tim Travers. And the universe was bad enough with only one of him.

‘A sci-fi comedy that would make Douglas Adams proud’. Horrorbuzz
GRIMMFEST SAYS: An egotistical megalomaniac maverick scientist meets his match – multiple times – in this pitch-black, high-concept time-bending sci-fi comedy. Simultaneously head-spinningly smart, startlingly surreal, and deliriously silly, it’s a film that defies expectation or categorisation; consistently inventive and challenging, pulling one outrageous game-changing narrative or conceptual twist after another, each of them, however apparently ridiculous, entirely logical within the scenario established, and underpinned by serious scientific and philosophical theory.
It’s a tale of hubris, self-discovery, and redemption, featuring one of the most mind-blowing character arcs (or rather series of arcs) ever committed to film, astonishingly well-realised by some unobtrusive but spectacular VFX work, and brilliantly portrayed by Samuel Dunning, in a performance pitched somewhere between Bruce Campbell at his most manic and Ricky Bates’ regular lead Matthew Gray Gubler at his most laconic, but with an underpinning of real emotional weight as Travers finds the humanity and capacity for love he never imagined himself to have… all be it in a typically selfish and self-serving fashion. With scene-stealing support from such cult cinema icons as David Keith and Danny Trejo as icing on the cake, this is one end of the world scenario you won’t want to miss.
