A 2017 Korean psychological thriller called House Of The Disappeared (Si-gan-wi-ui jib) is a remake of the Venezuelan film The House At The End Of Time (La casa del fin de los tiempos). Alejandro Hidalgo directed the first movie, and Dae-wung Lim directed the Korean version. A woman who is falsely accused of killing her husband and son and sentenced to prison is the subject of the film. To find out the truth, she goes back to the house where the tragedy took place 25 years later.
Yun-jin Kim (you may recognise her from Lost) is shown doing the hard lifting in the Korean film’s cast. This excellent cross-genre film really challenges your thinking. Here is an explanation of the House Of The Disappeared finale and plot of the 2017 Korean film. There are spoilers ahead, although technically this article also covers The House at the End of Time because the two films have the same plot.
Timeline for House of the Disappeared
What is the history of the house, House Of The Disappeared?
The mansion was constructed in 1942 for General Watabe Kunio using a combination of the best occult and natural science practises in Japan. The general insisted vehemently that the home be erected there. It appears the location was home to a wormhole that connected different time periods.
Aside from this, people in the house undergo time-slips in November, which means they unintentionally, randomly splice with other times in multiples of 25 years. To the other current or former residents of the house, each person ends up appearing as a ghost.
Why is the home broken?
A temporal vortex is the foundation of the home. Every November, the house is linked to other times that are more than 25 years apart. For example, 1942, 1967, 1992, and 2017. On November 11, all points in time that are more than 25 years away from one another completely overlap, unlike the other days of the month when there are temporal hiccups. On November 11th, the basement door’s wall that was hiding it would also vanish, enabling visitors to shift permanently to a different historical period.
How did the Japanese family fare in 1942?
Through time, they got away. The farmers at the time were quite angry due to the Japanese exploitation of them. Because they viewed the Japanese General as a pioneer, they retaliated on the family. Contrary to what the reporter reported, the farmers did not break in and murder the family. The Japanese family entered the basement door, disappeared, and lived there for the rest of their lives, never coming back to the house. The time passage had already closed by the time the farmers convinced the housemaid to reveal where the Japanese family was hiding and went to the basement, where all they discovered was a door with a wall behind it.
The entire time the Japanese family is depicted in the film, they are inside the home in November of 1942. The woman and the two girls from 1967 are also included in this.
The two spooky gals are who, right?
The house is eventually occupied by a woman and her two children after the general vanished in 1942. The mom and her two kids start having overlaps with other years in the future and past in November 1967. These are the different sequences that feature the mom and her two daughters, who are viewed as ghosts in each scenario. In 1967, remember from their perspective, strange people began appearing in their home; the mom and the two girls assumed the others were ghosts. The mother and her children left the house on November 11, 1967, probably through the basement entrance, never to return.

The Night of the Haunting| Mansion of the Disappeared (The Intruder)
Therefore, there is no haunting and no ghosts in this movie; instead, there are just families that unintentionally travel through time and mistake each other for ghosts.
When November 1992 rolls around, Mi-hee encounters individuals from eras with multiples of 25 years between them. The first time it happens, Mi-hee thinks a house intruder is at fault (the mysterious hand). The following day, when the police search the area, they only locate Mi-fingerprints. hee’s Police don’t have any proof that somebody broke in either. Chul-joong believes Mi-hee is insane. Although Hyo-je seems shaken, he keeps his observations to himself. He simply gives Mi-hee a note. Leave this house; the father will kill the child, roughly how the note is translated. Mi-hee stashes the message because she’s unsure of its meaning.
Using Feng Shui
Mi-hee hires a Feng Shui expert to examine the home. He is unable to describe what is wrong with the house because he is experiencing numerous things at once. His hand chain is dragged to the door by a temporal occurrence as if a huge magnet were concealed behind it. He makes the obvious assumption that it is haunted, suggests a shaman, and leaves immediately.
When a Shaman
The shaman can now communicate with spirits, however in the case of this house, there are no ghosts. While everyone there is alive, they all exist at separate times. Just connecting and conversing with them over time is what the shaman is doing. She is also able to witness Chul-attempt joong’s to kill Hyo-je a few days in the future. She hears this and says, “Daddy, don’t murder me.”
Mi-hee opens her eyes and sees the many families as well as an elderly man who is watching the ritual and her closely. Once more, they are unexpectedly witnessing this weird rite being carried out by three women in their home from their perspective. Mi-hee panics and requests that the shaman go.
Ji-passing won’s
Since there aren’t any ghosts in this film, Ji-won isn’t killed by one. The young person experiences a horrific mishap. Ji-won just so happens to be playing his video game and throwing rocks while perched on the edge of a sheer drop. Dust is blown into his eyes by an errant blast of wind. As the child closes his eyes, he becomes disoriented, retreats, trips and drowns. The authorities find his body later that day. Hyo-je is reprimanded by Chul-joong for neglecting his sibling.
Chul-Fury joong’s
Chul-joong decides to kill Hyo-je out of wrath and lunges at him with a knife. When Mi-hee tries to stop him, he strikes her head against the mirror and knocks her out. Mi-hee goes down to the basement when she awakens to see Chul-joong stabbed. She enters the basement after spotting Hyo-je standing by the enigmatic entrance. She discovers a solid wall behind the door when she opens it. The movie’s opening scene is seen here.
Mi-hee receives a 25-year sentence for killing her husband and maybe her son, whose body was never discovered. Mi-hee is released in November 2017 and placed under house arrest.
