If you don't succeed, you can't do it-"Ticked House"

This movie was directed at the Great Demon King Cate Blanchett. It feels that the Great Devil is more suitable for playing that kind of fanciful role. This kind mother’s sense of substitution is really unsatisfactory. The whole story is like an extremely simple fairy tale. You It's suitable for children, right? It's still a bit scary, don't you think it is suitable for adults? It is also slightly naive. The ending is so hurriedly. The sense of substitution of the whole film is really a little worse. Although the film is called "Tick House", there are very few descriptions of the interesting and magical objects in the house, and most of them are placed in the characters. In terms of setting, and some characters really feel dispensable, and the characters are not fresh and full, just like the main line of the big devil losing his daughter, so important emotional clues are not used properly, it is really especially special. It's a pity, so that's it, a terrifying and childish fairy tale.

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.
