You know that old chestnut: don’t go into a big, creepy cave you’re not familiar with in search of a missing person who, incidentally enough, also went into that same cave in search of a family that’s been missing for decades.
Mark Dennis and Ben Foster’s latest film, “Time Trap,” throws that (extremely solid) advice right out the proverbial window in service to an innovative new sci-fi adventure that rips apart both space and time at its very seams. Featuring a cast that includes Cassidy Gifford, Reiley McClendon, Brianne Howey, Olivia Draguicevich, Max Wright, and Andrew Wilson, “Time Trap” takes an already scary premise and bolsters it with some truly twisted riffs on time travel. Again, maybe don’t go in the weird cave.

Stylistically, Josh Evans' "Glam" is an extended bad-acid flashback to the worst of mid-'60s psychedelic cinema; it's a picture that could trigger migraines. There are stroboscopic op-art colors, quick cuts and flash forwards, a dwarf paparazzo in a red jump suit and slogans mumbled by echoing off-screen voices and flashing on TV screens: "Art Is Dead", "Art Is Dead", "Art Is Dead".
We also get Tony Danza as a philosophical thug producer and a tedious sequence of people shooting up and sweating and barfing and babbling mystic gibberish, all filmed at vertiginous, canted angles. Even the quieter dialogue scenes are weighed down with fake profundity: "What did they do to you?" Danza's Sid Dalgren asks his trophy-waif girlfriend Natasha Gregson Wagner) about her former boyfriends. After a pregnant pause, she whispers: "They tore me apart. And I liked it."
The story line appears to be a dim retread of "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Being There". A handsome, blank-faced lad named Sonny Daye (William McNamara), who never speaks and wears only green ("like the forest"), wanders out of the chaparral into high-rise Los Angeles and is taken for some kind of primitive genius, perhaps a millennial prophet. It's hard for us to judge because we never get a taste of the brilliant stuff he scribbles in his big, black sketchbook, but every character who dips into it is instantaneously struck bug-eyed, so you know it's gotta be heavy.
Introduced around town by his motor-mouthed, pothead cousin Franky Syde (Frank Whaley), a beanpole Rastafarian, Sonny finds himself lionized overnight. He gets a movie deal but wrecks it by spurning the advances of a producer's viper wife (Caroline Lagerfelt). A couple of people get beaten up, then Sonny, after smashing a totem TV set, rescues Wagner's captive princess from her abusive old man, and they slo-mo off together in a blaze of flashbulbs, the Tinseltown equivalent of a classic rosy sunset.
Evans is the son of producer Robert Evans and actress Ali McGraw, so it's tempting to write this one off as a Hollywood-kid, vanity production. But the younger Evans isn't a floundering amateur.
His first picture, "Inside the Goldmine", was respectfully received in some quarters, and he gets loose, speedy, comic performances out of Whaley and Jon Cryer, as a repellent dope fiend. A scene of domestic violence between Danza and Wagner is actually pretty scary. Still, the levels within levels of misjudgment on display are staggering; one thing presumably led to another until the train was moving too fast to jump off.
