This Rotten Week: Predicting The House With A Clock In Its Walls, Life Itself, And Fahrenheit 11/9 Reviews
3 hours ago
The fall season is always home to a wide variety of different releases, and this weekend offers a whole lot of options. There's tick-ticking going on behind the drywall, a love story that wants to get you weepy and a Michael Moore documentary. Get ready for The House With A Clock In Its Walls, Life Itself, and Fahrenheit 11/9.
Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at This Rotten Week has to offer.
In a cinematic landscape where filmmakers want to take the horror levels to new extremes, it's nice to see a flick like The House With A Clock In Its Walls, a movie geared toward a younger crowd that also looks like it has some legit shocks. It follows a young boy named Lewis who moves into a house with his oddball uncle (Jack Black) where a clock ticks in the walls and a whole bunch of weird shit regularly goes down. It looks entertaining for sure.
Eli Roth isn't exactly known for family-friendly films. He's more of a gorey horror dude with flicks like Death Wish (17%), Knock Knock (36%), and Green Inferno (36%) among his more recent work. There aren't any early reviews posted yet for The House With A Clock In Its Walls, but I think this finishes better than the majority of his other work. Jack Black looks perfect for the role and I suspect the story carries it.
