Clock Review

Parents need to know that the animated film The House seems intended for adult viewers. While its three stories aren't outright horror, they all evoke a feeling of dread and a sense that something bad is going to happen. The first chapter is especially spooky and characters face threats, seem to go crazy, and die.

'The House with a Clock in its Walls' is a fantasy film. The story is not as big as the name of the film. The world of magic and horror with the fantasy line are always dominated in Hollywood. I have watched many fantasy movies which have magic with horror plot. Hollywood made many movies of this plot. Some movies have got success in which Harry Potter series and Goosebumps are on the top of the success list. Jack Black are in the film Goosebumps too.


Let's talk about the film. I have read many novels of John Bellairs. I know that 'The House with the clock in the walls' is his novel. I have read it too. The film 'The House with the clock in its walls' is based on this Novel. The film starts with a boy. The Boy's name is Lewis Barnavelt. He has a magic ball. He can communicate with his dead parents. He moves for living with his uncle Jonathan. He comes in his uncle's strange house. Many things are happening in the house. I am not telling you the whole story of the film. If you have read the novel then you'll not like this movie. This is a bad try bacause people wants good cinematic representation of Masic stories now. Now talking about the cast of the film is Jack Black who is Lewis's uncle Jonathan. Owen Vaccaro is Lewis, I saw his name first time in the trailer of the film. Owen performance is not good as Lewis because we have watch a little child in Harry Potter as Harry ( Deniel Radcliffe) who was awesome in that film. Jack black is good as always. I gave two stars for him.

The House with a Clock in Its Walls Movie Review


If you are assuming The House with a Clock in Its Walls to use a rebellious take on the children’s fantasy-horror stylejust becauseshockmeister Eli Roth, the demented auteur behind Hostel, Cabin Fever, and The Green Inferno, is attached as director, then the movie is bound to frustrate you. Based on an obscure 1973 novel by John Bellairs, House with a Clock feels like a Frankenstein monster cobbled from other real fantasy-horror entries.


House with a Clock starts when a foundling named Lewis proceeds to live in 1950s Michigan with his uncle, a magician named Jonathan Barnavelt played by Jack Black who is alienated from the family. Shortly after meeting the neighbor, ex-magician named Mrs. Zimmerman played by Cate Blanchett with a manner of dealing good-natured spikes with his uncle, Lewis soon marks unfamiliar goings-on at the palace: a stained glass window at the landing keeps changing its picture, an overstuffed chair functions as a dog, and his uncle wastes his nights looking for a clock ticking in the house’s secret bowels…a clock that may be ticking down to the end of the world.


Overall The House with a Clock in Its Walls Movie is one time watch.
