The House With A Clock In Its Walls Ending Explained

While The House With A Clock In Its Walls might be a fun supernatural horror comedy, the movie’s ending offers a surprisingly moving message about grief, loss, and growing up. Eli Roth’s filmography is uneven, to say the least. Roth made his debut with 2002’s grisly Cabin Fever, a backwoods chiller that mixed body horror with offbeat humor and a relentlessly bleak tone reminiscent of the genre’s nastiest ‘70s hits. Roth followed this with Hostel and Hostel II, both infamously gory horror movies, and the gruesome 2014 cannibal movie The Green Inferno. However, the end of The House With A Clock In Its Walls is surprisingly more uplifting and positive than the director’s previous films.
