I just got this today from Netflix. Silly is the only kind of horror I like, lol! I'm hoping I like it too.BeautySuzy wrote: ↑02 Jan 2019, 12:13 The House with a Clock in Its Walls
4 out of 4 stars, I totally love it! Still I don't know why so many adults hate it for being silly, it is kid-friendly horror! Did they expect it to be like Saw movie series?

It was so brilliant. A solid 10 out of 10. Surprised me, because I didn't have high expectations for another spiderman movie. But this was a comic story and spidies we never saw on film before.

- Latest Review: Randy Love...at your service by Shay Carter
I give it four stars because of its strange settings of a play within a play where we can see a person from multiple views, where a person can walk from an elegant drawing room into the flies of a theater and step into a sordid attic where a sick revolutionary lives with an ex-whore he calls his wife.
The acting is superb and the strange juxtaposition of theatricality and real-life action works because the novel itself has a strange, otherworldly quality. It recalls a vanished Russia that adored the behavior of another country. It has sumptuous gowns, mannered dancing, exquisite cutlery and manners: all the accoutrements of vast wealth and set it alongside wretched poverty, the brewings of revolution and the contentment of serfs who were once bought and sold like slaves.
The score is also delightful, sumptuous and sweeping one moment, simple and and poignant the next. Like the rest of the movie, this too has its playful moments with musicians dancing into the frame and mingling briefly with the players before disappearing again.
I haven't read the novel in years but I think it's time I did so.
