The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018)

A young orphan named Lewis Barnavelt aids his magical uncle in locating a clock with the power to bring about the end of the world.
Gore master Eli Roth directs a PG-rated film and, indeed it's very PG: an enjoyable, but made-for-children Gothic adventure in a spooky fantasy house; Jack Black and Cate Blanchett seemed to have had fun with their roles.

Lupin (2021)

Inspired by the adventures of Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief Assane Diop sets out to avenge his father for an injustice inflicted by a wealthy family.
Intriguing espionage series is presented with wit and esprit and offers a lot of Parisian sights to see, but generally it's all up to Omar Sy who makes this as enjoyable as it is.

The Boy (2016)

An American nanny is shocked that her new English family's boy is actually a life-sized doll. After she violates a list of strict rules, disturbing events make her believe that the doll is really alive.
An intriguing premise offers a lot of imaginative possibilities, but the makers decided to stick to the most predictable horror tropes; well-made with a capable cast, but not much more.

La caza (1966)
.jpg)
Three men go hunting rabbits during a hot day. Heat and talking about events happened in the past make them angry, until they go totally crazy.
Intense psychological drama, obviously intended as a political allegory, relentlessly exposes its protagonists' toxic masculinity, suitably staged in stark black-and-white and a overheated barren landscape, entrenched in a whirlpool of absurd moments and violence (the hunting scenes are quite hard to take).
