The House of Clocks

The House of Clocks (La casa nel tempo) — Encyclopedic Entry Basic Information Title (English): The House of Clocks Original Title (Italian): La casa nel tempo Director: Lucio Fulci Writers: Daniele Stroppa, Gianfranco Clerici (from a story by Lucio Fulci) Music: Vince Tempera Cinematography: Nino Celeste Editing: Alberto Moriani Producers: Massimo Manasse, Marco Grillo Spina Country / Language: Italy / Italian Genre: Supernatural horror / Gothic Running Time: approx. 84 minutes (depending on the cut). Main Cast Keith Van Hoven — Tony (one of the young intruders) Karina Huff — Sandra/Diana (female member of the trio) Paolo Paoloni — Vittorio Corsini (elderly man of the house) Bettina Milne — Sara Corsini (elderly wife) Al Cliver — Peter Carla Cassola — Maria, the housemaid Supporting roles: Giovanni De Nava, Paolo Bernardini, Giovanni Frezza (among others). Plot (Detailed – Spoilers) An elderly aristocratic couple, Vittorio and Sara Corsini, live in an isolated countryside villa filled with antique clocks, all stopped at the same exact hour. Their maid Maria stumbles on a disturbing secret in the cellar: the preserved corpses of the couple’s young relatives, whom the Corsinis murdered to secure inheritance. Three delinquents — Sandra/Diana, Tony, and Paul — decide to break into the villa after hearing rumors of riches. Pretending to need help, Diana distracts the old couple while the others invade. What begins as a burglary spirals into bloodshed: gunfire, accidental deaths, and brutal violence leave several characters dead — including the Corsinis themselves. But then the clocks in the house, frozen for years, suddenly begin ticking backwards. This reversal causes strange phenomena: wounds close, the dead rise again, and events seem to undo themselves in twisted ways. The “resurrected” Corsinis and others pursue the intruders with a vengeance, no longer entirely human but driven by supernatural justice. The house becomes a trap where time is distorted, looping, and cruel. Attempts to escape lead the survivors into paradoxes and fatal twists — as if the villa itself is punishing them. The final scenes blur dream and reality: a cat killed earlier revives, a car plummets off a cliff, and the fate of the intruders is sealed in a cyclical nightmare. Production Background The House of Clocks was made as part of the Italian TV project Le case maledette (“The Cursed Houses”), a short-lived anthology of supernatural horror films. Fulci directed this entry in early 1989. Shooting took place between January 31 and February 25, 1989, in 16mm on location near Rome. Originally intended for broadcast on Italian television, the film’s gore and violence made it unsuitable for mainstream airing, so it was shelved and only surfaced later through video releases. Release & Home Video Although completed in 1989, the film did not get a proper Italian TV premiere. It circulated mainly through VHS in the 1990s, and later through cult DVD editions (notably Shriek Show in the early 2000s). Blu-ray Restorations: In the 2020s, boutique labels such as Cauldron Films released a 2K restoration from the original negative, featuring interviews (cinematographer Nino Celeste, composer Vince Tempera, FX crew, archival actor footage) and multiple language tracks with subtitles. These remain the best-quality editions available today. Music, Cinematography, and Effects Music: Composed by Vince Tempera, blending atmospheric synths and traditional horror cues. Cinematography: By Nino Celeste — interiors shot in tight, claustrophobic framing, with recurring images of clocks and gears to emphasize the theme of distorted time. Effects: Practical gore effects and reanimation makeup, in Fulci’s signature style: graphic but dreamlike, fusing horror shocks with surreal imagery. The House of Clocks is awesome because it takes a classic Fulci setup — a creepy house with a dark secret — and flips it with a brilliant twist: time itself turns against the characters. You get: Fulci’s trademark gory, surreal imagery (wounds healing, the dead rising). A spooky Gothic atmosphere with a house full of stopped clocks. That fatalistic “Twilight Zone with gore” vibe, where punishment is inevitable. It may not be Fulci’s biggest hit, but it’s a hidden gem with a unique premise and eerie style. 👉 In short: it’s macabre, imaginative, and unmistakably Fulci.
