THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME (2013)

The first supernatural thriller to be made in Venezuela, The House at the End of Time is about a wife and mother of two sons, Dulce (Ruddy Rodriguez), who was arrested thirty years ago for the murders of her husband and 12-year-old son Leopoldo (though the boy's body was never found).  Too old and frail to remain in prison, Dulce has been released - guards included - back to the dilapidated, abandoned home where it all took place, to live her final years.  But the house has been waiting for her; not just the ghosts of the past, but also apparitions she begins seeing around her home - one of which carries a butcher knife.  The film is incredible, twisting and turning on itself until toward the end, when blatant confusion turns into a finale that will have you recommending this film to anyone who will listen.  For fans of The Others, The Orphanage, Pan's Labyrinth, or the Korean Hansel & Gretel - you have a wondrous experience waiting for you here.
