Film Synopsis
The House of Clocks (1989) follows a trio of petty criminals who invade an isolated villa owned by an eccentric older couple, only to murder their hosts and find themselves trapped when the house’s clocks mysteriously begin to run backwards. As time rewinds and the dead rise with uncanny vengeance, the intruders are pulled into a nightmarish cycle from which there seems to be no escape. This supernatural horror blends macabre reversal and grim retribution in a chilling study of time, guilt, and dread.
