Alicia I love this movie so much
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
jeffrymiranda-25858 These types of movies that play with time, time lapsing or type regression have to be carefully put together because it can lead the viewer to frustration when it taken back and forth in time. Regardless the origin of this movie, I think this movie was riddled with many pot holes which made it difficult to understand.The acting was not so bad, specially from the kids, however, the bad done make-up done to the mother to make it look older, was very cheap. I think overall, this movie does not deserve the rating it currently holds and a lesson learned is that when directos play with time lapsing in movies, they to be well-taken care of.
jeremy-david-kuehnau This was a really weird film. When I first heard of this film, the description would have you believe that this was a paranormal horror flick, that isn't the case int he least.I don't normally watch foreign films with subtitles, but I needed something new to watch and the reviews on IMDb gave me the impression it would be something I'd find enjoyable. I wasn't really impressed with the movie. This film is more like a thriller/Suspense film. It strings you along making you believe it is one kind of film and then it suddenly turns into some sort of weird scifi time travel film that makes no attempt at actually explaining itself. The actors were fine, the cinematography was acceptable. It was just a poorly written film. It was a lackluster film that tries to impress with a weird "twsit" and all it did was leave me unsatisfied.
ASouthernHorrorFan "The House At The End Of Time" is a atmospheric blended genre film both elevated and stylish.It combines both the science fiction concepts of time warp and temporal rift with elements of paranormal and haunting illusionism. The film offers a Gothic nightmare to rival any horror or fantasy created by some of Latin America's more notable directors/storytellers. The story revolves around a family near destitute, offered the opportunity to have a home with the help of the local government. Unfortunately the house comes at a high price that far reaches any monetary cost. It harbors a chilling secreted past that is dark and very disturbing. Framed more as a haunted dwelling, and attached to the chilling paranormal 11:11 theory, "The House At The End Of Time" is one of the creepiest and dramatic horror films that I have seen. One that actually creates deep, emotional suspense and melodrama while offering a more heartfelt connection between the viewer and the characters on screen. Hidalgo is brilliant in his direction of this truly horrific situation. The acting is an even-paced, suspenseful display of despair, tension, and downright creepy character development. One that in the end gives us a true "happy ending" fitting a nightmare. It is a dark, theatrical foray of relationships, second chances, and tragedy embraced by heavy, atmospheric paranormal scenarios that keep this doomed family on the edge of hopelessness. "The House At The End Of Time" is impressive, thought provoking and cerebral. The special effects used in "The House At The End Of Time" are a collection of instrumental sound effects classic to a Gothic ghost story, typical paranormal camera tricks, and stellar make-up effects that give you the total haunting illusion while masking the nightmare's true nature. A nature that lends more to quantum theories of time distortions like the ones I mentioned earlier- temporal rifts and time warps. The overall effectiveness of the styling and illusions used here are executed beautifully, keeping the story's heavy sorrowful overcast, the dark subject matter, and melodrama in near perfect balance from the film's beginning right up until the more pleasant ending. "The House At The End Of Time" is fantastical story both dark and disturbing that I believe all movie fans will enjoy, not just horror fans.
Mavors I generally don't write reviews but the high rating of this movie compelled me to do it.This isn't a 7/10 movie, not even close, nor the premise is "so clever" as many users said. In fact the movie's closure opens so many plot holes that it seems almost like a Swiss cheese.There are more movies in the same line, The Caller (for instance) is one of them, one which I didn't like also.The performances are good, really, specially by the mother, but the story isn't that original, and when we see a movie that plays with time it has to be well done, because plot holes are easy to unfold. That's not the case, nor this is an horror movie as proclaimed, it defrauds the viewers expectations. This is a family drama with some thriller appointments. The mothers make up (when she is old) is not credible also.I would give this movie a 5/10 for the great effort with a low budget and the actors performances, but the expectations delivered from the high ratings here had obliged me to give a 4/10 for the disappointment.
