Review of The House at the End of Time

For a while, I found this movie to be boring and not interesting. Then things started to get interesting, but also confusing. So the first two thirds or so of this movie I would have given just a few stars as my rating. It was not before the last parts things became interesting. The revelation of the twist reminded me of "Matrix" in the way that everything that previously was completely meaningless and absurd in the beginning suddenly became understandable.

I have read a couple of reviews that claims that there are plot holes in this story. I HATE plot holes and I HATE badly executed twists, and I find them to more or less ruin a movie. But I could not find any, and none of those who claims that there are plot holes in this movie have stated what those plot holes are supposed to be as far as I have seen! So I wonder if those who claim that there are plot holes in this movie just have not understood the twist and the explanations for events before the revelation of the twist???

All in all I found this movie to be a pleasant surprise even if the mother at times showed a terrible and unthankful personality, making her unsympathetic. But I guess that was a necessity to make the husband trigger and act as he did, and thereby make the story possible even if the triggering probably could have been done in a better way.
