Review of The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018) by Alianoraree — 01 Oct 2018
A marvelous bit of dark fantasy. Please note: in addition to being enchanting, this movie is legitimately spooky and darkly atmospheric, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it for younger children.
Having read the books I was confused when I saw the movie listed as a comedy, but it worked quite well overall. During a couple of the comedic moments Black veered a bit too far toward melodrama, but otherwise his Jonathon was delightful. The rest of the cast was also good, but Lorenza Izzo (Lewis' mother) was absolutely perfect. I really hope they make more movies based on books from this series.
