Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

thanveeralisayed I watched this movie on January this year. after a long search in imdb i found one that is in a genre iam a fan of. yes i like horror movies. but this wasn't just a horror movie. thats why i cant forget this movie even after three months. i liked it very much. watched two times .second time it was with my brother . i don't like talk about the plot here. yeah it's required for you to get the unexpected .you shouldn't get any clues from anywhere before watching it.

shakesgirll Prior to watching this film, I thought after reading the synopsis, that it would be another attempt at a horror movie, one more, with an ordinary scenario.How wrong was I. First of all, it doesn't last for ages before it all starts to unravel and become interesting, and keeps delivering surprises all along.This film made me reflect on some aspects of life and I shed a few tears, as unexpected as that also was when you're supposed to watch a horror film. The reasons why I don't give this a 10/10 are that it's a little long in the beginning I think and that even though I abundantly stated that it was surprising, it's more because I've become so used to seeing the same scenario in every other movie that as soon as something slightly innovative come along, I get over enthusiastic, but to be fair, some of the plot could be guessed.So all in all, a superb movie, that really found resonance in me, because of several other aspects of life you could apply the plot to (realistic aspects of life, of course).

CleveMan66 Get ready to hear about a film that set box office records in Venezuela and became the all-time highest grossing thriller in that country, owing to notable creativity that has since been admired worldwide. Few in the U.S. have heard of the horror mystery "The House at the End of Time" (NR, 1:41). There are good reasons for that, but there are equally good reasons to hear about it now. The film, titled "La casa del fin de los tiempos" in Spanish, first premiered at the Venezuelan Film Festival in June of 2013, followed by a nationwide release in that country. In 2014, the film made its way through film festivals and both limited and nationwide releases across Europe and South America as well as in the U.S., where it received the top award at two different festivals. The movie has since appeared at other festivals, including as the closing presentation at Houston's Venezuelan Film Festival (August 11-15, 2015). Given the government controls on the media in the film's country of origin and the unique nature of the film's storytelling, seeing this movie on a big screen in the U.S. is a special treat.The film opens with a woman lying consciousness on the floor in her home. She is just beginning to stir. Her face has been slashed and she is lying amongst pieces of a broken mirror. She picks up and looks into one of the larger pieces to examine the wounds on her face. Then that jagged chunk of mirror becomes a dagger as she cautiously but anxiously searches the rest of the dark house for her family. In the basement, she finds her husband lying dead in a pool of blood. She then sees her son standing near a doorway across the room. He appears unhurt. She calls to him and he tentatively takes a couple small steps towards her, but is then suddenly and inexplicably swept backwards through the doorway. The door slams shut and the boy is gone. The woman, whose name is Dulce (Ruddy Rodriguez), is promptly arrested, tried and sentenced for the murder of her husband, Juan José (Gonzalo Cubero) and the presumed murder of her son, Leopoldo (Rosmel Bustamante), who is still missing and is presumed dead.30 years later, an elderly Dulce is released from prison to serve the rest of her sentence under house arrest back in the same spooky old house where her husband was murdered and her boy disappeared. There are two police officers (Alexander Da Silva and William Lodoño) guarding the house's front gate and the only person allowed to visit the old woman is a priest (Guillermo Garcia) and only at certain prearranged times. Dulce treats the young priest with barely concealed contempt, having lost her faith in God long ago, and still bitter over losing three decades of her life because of a crime she says she did not commit. Despite all this, Dulce begins to tell the incredulous priest her side of the story.Through flashbacks, we get a picture of what life was like in that house before tragedy struck. Dulce is in a loveless marriage with Juan José, a man she no longer respects due to his ongoing unemployment and repeated empty promises to find a job. The couple has two sons, Leopoldo, and the younger Rodrigo (Hector Mercado), who are typical boys and get along as well as a typical brothers do, which is to say… sometimes. Life isn't particularly happy in this house, but it isn't particularly unusual, until strange things start happening to the family. Unexplained noises are heard and apparitions appear, most notably, an old woman who warns the family of a tragic future which lies ahead. As Dulce tells the priest her story and he does some research on the unusual history of that house, it becomes clear that everything that happened to Dulce and her family is tied together and has something to do with their family home."The House at the End of Time" is original and appropriately creepy, but is a bit too ambitious for its own good. Although the unraveling of the mystery reminds me of one particular horror movie (which I'll refrain from naming in order to avoid a possible spoiler), writer-director Alejandro Hidalgo takes the concept much farther than I've ever seen similar ideas taken before. Unfortunately, in doing so, the plot and its resolution become very complicated and leave crucial questions unanswered. This film was made for a very small budget, which doesn't really hurt the film's quality, but doesn't excuse the distractingly frequent typos in the English subtitles. This film shows that a good idea is the most important ingredient for a successful movie, but filmmakers also need to be sure their reach doesn't exceed their grasp. "B"

ten-often This should not be placed in the genre of "Horror." This is a science fiction thriller mystery. While hard sci-fi is based on believable technology, soft sci-fi is based on mysterious elements which focus on other things. Think "2001: A Space Odyssey" vs. "The Time Traveler's Wife." This isn't a good movie "considering it is a product of Venezuela." It is a great watch because it is a well directed, realistically performed entertaining sci-fi short story with no plot holes or loose ends. If you feel there is one, watch it again.Do not go into it expecting a horror film. It's better than that. It's about the mystery of what happens in this house at a time of marital trouble and childhood tragedies. What is it? Why is it there? How is it there? Find out.
