Alejandro Hidalgo’s supernatural thriller
THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME
has won BEST FILM and BEST DIRECTOR at Screamfest LA.
The first horror film produced in Venezuela smashed box office records when it was theatrically released in its home territory in 2013 and has since become the dark horse of the international genre festival circuit where it’s unique combination of jump out of your seat thrills, pathos and empathy has won over audiences worldwide, including Fantasporto in Portugal, Fantasia in Montreal, FrightFest in London, FantasyFest in Germany and L’Etrange in France.
Ruddy Rodriguez (The Living Daylights) stars as a mother released on compassion after serving thirty years in prison for murdering her family, but when she returns home the supernatural events that led to the crime come back to haunt her and reveal a sinister secret about the building in which she lives.
THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME will be released in North America by MPI on November 11th 2014 via their genre label Dark Sky Films.
“The success of The House at the End of Time has not gone unnoticed by Hollywood” said the films sales agent, Julian Richards, CEO of Jinga Films. “We have two significant genre producers vying for remake rights, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a big budget, star driven re-make in the next few years.”
“A confident, clever spin on the haunted house tale which invites comparisons with Robert Wise’s The Haunting or Alejandro Amenabar’s The Others.” – Rob Daniel, Electric Shadows
“A superbly constructed film with real depth and layers just waiting to be peeled away, with an emotional core often missing from this genre” – Naila Scargill, Exquisite Terror
“The film is going to draw some comparisons to The Conjuring, The Others and Oculus, but The House at the End of Time is the best of all of those films – an impressive, confident and creepy debut” – Ryan Turek, Shock Till You Drop.
“Scary as hell…but also has a family centered heart that reminds me of films like Poltergeist. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who loves a great haunting tale” – Adam Ruhl, Pop Culture Beast
“Intriguing suspense-horror….evokes both ‘The Sixth Sense’ and ‘The Others’” – Movie Ramblings
“Like The Sixth Sense, The Others and Haunter, Alejandro Hidalgo’s feature debut reverse-engineers the tropes and trappings of haunted house gothic” – Anton Bitel, Grolsch Film Works
