Except for special effects and background music, the acting skills and unexpected plot of the little protagonist are really embarrassing.

The story of "Tick House" is actually similar to "Harry Potter". It is also a magical beginner who leads the audience into a magical world, but the difference is that the home field of this movie is not magic. The academy is a seemingly mysterious and gloomy "Tick House", in which "Tick House" should undoubtedly be considered qualified for film production alone, whether it is a restoration of the past era or a darkened creative style. In fact, we can see the subtlety, but it is a pity that this kind of production has been defeated by the physics of the plot and the weakness of the characters.

The House with a Clock in Its Walls quotes

  • [first lines]

    Jonathan Barnavelt: [writing letter] Dear Lewis: Enclosed, please find one bus ticket and two silver dollars for your trip to Michigan. I'm really sorry about the loss of your parents. Your mom was my sister, so that makes you family. And I'll do my best to make you feel right at home. As Einstein said, life is like a bicycle. To stay balanced, you got to keep moving forward. And so will we. I look forward to meeting you. Your Uncle Jonathan. PS Sorry for the stain on the letter. That's chocolate.

  • Jonathan Barnavelt: We don't know where the clock is or what it does, except something horrible. No, we gotta do the responsible thing: lie to the kid.
