Another tempting film to make would be The House on The Borderland by William Hope Hodgson, released in 1908.
It's old, it's hairy and gothic minimal, moody and primeval, with no group theatrics. There's a strong time travel theme with absolutely no science,no machines, no real explanation of tech. Some lengthy and spooky descriptions of time on fast forward.
Was it a rip off of The Time Machine, released in 1895? After 100 years I think HotB succeeds entirely within its own framework and would be an ideal starting point for a modern day adaptation.
