==Reception==
Allan Hunter of ''[[Screen Daily]]'' wrote "The film may pay heed to its mystical, supernatural elements, but ultimately reveals its true intentions as a call to arms for compassion and the need to show understanding and enlightenment when humanity is tested to the limit".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hunter |first=Allan |date=9 October 2021 |title='House Of Time': Busan Review |url=https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/house-of-time-busan-review/5163860.article |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009012223/https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/house-of-time-busan-review/5163860.article |archive-date=9 October 2021 |access-date=25 August 2023 |website=[[Screen Daily]]}}</ref> Akash Misra of ''[[Sangbad Pratidin]]'' wrote, "The 'panic stricken' feel of the screenplay has come out beautifully due to the direction of Sharmistha-Rajdeep. After seeing the picture, we can control time, or is time our controller? It seems that people will get stuck in the cycle of fear, or will they find a way out. Now let's see how the audience receives this film".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Misra |first=Akash |date=20 August 2022 |title=করোনা আবহ এবং বাঙালি পরিবারের সংকটের কাহিনি, কেমন হল 'কালকক্ষ'? পড়ুন রিভিউ |url=https://www.sangbadpratidin.in/entertainment/film-review/kalkokkho-review-a-bengali-existential-horror-around-covid-19/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221220124552/https://www.sangbadpratidin.in/entertainment/film-review/kalkokkho-review-a-bengali-existential-horror-around-covid-19/ |archive-date=20 December 2022 |access-date=25 August 2023 |website=[[Sangbad Pratidin]] |language=Bengali}}</ref>
