Customer Reviews of House of Clocks
a Masterpiece!!!! from the Maestro of Mastro's!!!! 10 stars! FULCI IS GOD!!!!!!!there is really not much else to say!! i mean this movie is absolutely perfect.i haven't made up my mind yet but this very well may be FULCI'S "CREAM OF THE CROP" im not going give away anything about the story(LUCIO FULCI made the flick & that should interest you enough to get it!!!)if you don't know who LUCIO FULCI is then this is a perfect film to start with!!!!!!FULCI'S movies are way above the rest when it comes to atmosphere his art form puts you in a dream like state of mind where things are confuseing & unsetteling wich then sets you up to be scared of anything & everything just like YOUR OWN DREAMS!!!!!!his movies are like a special song that means something different to everybody like a puzzle thats almost finished but only you & your imagination can complete it. the bottom line is a horror movie is supposed to bring you right back to when you were 7-8-9 years old & if your not conditioned like most of the world is!?!?!? then you will see that FULCI can bring you back to your childhood horror days better than the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the dvd comes out GREAT & there's a couple of neat little extra's interviews/trailers so on. SO FANS HURRY UP & GET THIS GEM BEFORE YOU CAN'T FIND IT ANYMORE!!!! a Masterpiece from the Maestro of Maestro's P.S. FULCI IS GOD!!!!
House of Snores
I'm still trying to figure this movie out. I got it mostly because I loved Lucio Fulci's great "Zombie." House of Clocks was made for Italian TV and looks it. Bad photography, lighting, terrible performances and a script that makes zero sense. The story involves a large Italian villa filled with clocks and clock hands that turn endlessly backwards. An old couple murders a maid. Then three jerks--a gal and two guys--break in and mayhem ensues. The clock hands turn even more furiously backwards. I think it means that the past keeps coming back to this one villa but then you're confronted with a dead married couple whose bodies lay in coffins in the attic. They suddenly come alive. Then...oh, I can't go on. It gets so confusing that I may have to go back and watch it again. God forbid. For Fulci addicts only.
The first legitimate Fulci success
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Fulci fan and have several of his movies. However, his movies fall into two categories: "So bad it's good" (Don't Torture a Duckling, Zombie, City of Living Dead, Beyond) and "so bad it's awful" ("Cat in the Brain, Manhattan Baby"). This originally made-for-TV film is the cornerstone of a third Fulci tier: a sincerely creepy, effective success of a horror movie.
Instead of utilizing the common concept of shoddy acting, implausible plotlines and buckets o'gore, Fulci makes House of Clocks an atmospheric and tense affair, relying more on narrative and disturbing ambiance- with surprising success. He still gives into the temptation for a bit of gore sprinkled throughout but nothing to the puke factor extent seen in Zombie or City of Living Dead.
A well crafted horror yarn in the mode of Avati's "House with Windows that Laugh". Had he continued along the same vein of restricting the gross-out factor while still incorporating plenty of shock as he did with Clocks, Fulci may have found more success than his Herschell Gordon Lewis-esque icon status amongst gorehounds.
