Synopsis:
"From Europe's Grandmaster of Gore,
Lucio Fulci,
comes one of his rarely seen genre efforts, House Of Clocks.
Lucio Fulci
is recognized the world over as the sultan of splatter and
creator of Zombie,
The Beyond,
Demonia
and countless other Euro-horror classics. A gang of ruthless
thugs intent on robbery preys upon a seemingly harmless elderly
couple, Vittorio and Sara. The simple plan turns into a terrifying
nightmare, as Vittorio's antique clock collection mysteriously
turns back time. Now the hunters become the hunted, and the
old couple becomes a vengeful, malevolent force. A stylish
shocker, starring Paolo Paolini (Cannibal
Holocaust, Voices
From Beyond), Bettina
Miline (Tea
With Mussolini) and Fulci Stalwart,
Al Cliver
(Zombie,
The Beyond,
Demonia)."

My oppinion:
I hadn't even heard of this "made
for TV" movie until just recently, but I'm glad I have
now! It was really a pleasant surprise for me. This is definantly
one of the best of Fulci's later work. I must say, I really
loved the old couple, great characters! Fulci managed to make
some very creepy moments in this film. There are some things
that don't make sense, but it really doesn't matter. There's
also some nice moody music in it (but some of it is also annoying..).
There's one thing that was a bit of a "downer" though,
the dubbing was far off at times, and some of the acting was
a bit bad, but all in all, this was very enjoyable!
Well-done Fulci!
