Dianna Agron comes off as remarkably calm, cool, and collected. Now 37, she seems sure of herself in ways she perhaps wasn’t when she exploded onto the scene in 2009 as Quinn Fabray, the head cheerleader on Ryan Murphy’s culture-shifting musical-dramedy Glee. She isn’t interested in examining her past relationships — while balancing an Arnold Palmer at the Swan Room, an Instagram-ready lounge in what interlopers are now calling Dimes Square — but is looking forward to the many exciting things she has in store.

Clock is a film directed by Alexis Jacknow starring Dianna Agron.
Clock is an elegant horror film that, narrated at a leisurely pace, manages to engage the viewer above all thanks to a brilliant performance by Dianna Agron, who knows how to seize the opportunity of a juicy role in a horror film.
And that’s not something usual.
Movie Review
Subtle and very well-paced, directed, and acted. It tells exactly what it wants and in the best possible way and Alexis Jacknow shines more in the direction than in the script, in a short story that, in a way, gives us the vibes of a short film with higher pretensions.
Clock performs very well in its visual aspect and set design. Very appreciable in terms of coloring, and regarding many of the designs of the fertility clinic and the appropriate use of contrasts.

On April 28, 2023, Hulu released “Clock,” starring Dianna Agron as Ella Patel, a woman desperate to fix her broken biological clock. The horror film from first-time director Alexis Jacknow also stars Jay Ali as her husband and Saul Rubinek as her father. Melora Hardin features as the pioneering doctor managing Ella’s treatment.
Holding fresh at 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, “Clock” puts “spooky, if sometimes conventional, spin on baby fever”. Read our full review round-up below.

Deciding when is the right time to conceive a child is a huge decision for anyone, let alone the career-minded woman at the center of “Clock.” Writer-director Alexis Jacknow amps up the anxiety by blending science and religion into paranoia-soaked mayhem, conjuring resonant emotion and haunting menace in this psychological horror film about an unconventional route to reproduction. Like a taut, “Rosemary’s Baby”-inspired “Black Mirror” episode, the film’s defiant sentiment that society should stop pressuring women to procreate is bold, brutal and bloodier than a pregnant woman’s bloody show.
Ella Patel (Dianna Agron) has it all: a gorgeous modern home in the suburbs, a fulfilling career as an in-demand interior designer and a robust sex life with hunky husband Aiden (Jay Ali), who’s training to be a doctor but is always on call for her needs. That she’s never felt the urge to add a...

Hulu’s Clock shakes up familiar ground in the fertile subgenre of pregnancy horror by examining the ticking biological clock through a woman uninterested in giving birth. Perhaps even scared of it. Writer/Director Alexis Jacknow’s feature debut mines psychological horror from the concept as it explores the pitfalls of baby fever. Despite the fascinating intersection of societal pressures and personal guilt, Clock struggles to decide on its horror approach.
Ella Patel (Dianna Agron) enjoys a child-free life with her husband, Aiden (Jay Ali). She’s a renowned interior decorator by trade and a doting daughter to Joseph (Saul Rubinek), with plenty of free time for leisure and volunteer work. The only hitch is that the almost 38-year-old Ella faces constant pressure to have what she’s fine without: giving birth and starting a family. Her friends frequently question her lack of desire to have a baby, and the...

Plot: Clock is the story of a woman who enrolls in a clinical trial to try and fix her seemingly broken biological clock after friends, family, and society pressures her to have children.
Review: Some of the best horror movies are films about something other than the surface scares that draw in audiences. George Romero’s Living Dead movies were about racism, consumerism, and flesh-eating zombies. It Follows is about sexually transmitted diseases, while The Babadook is about the trauma of being a single parent. Alexis Jacknow’s film Clock, inspired by her Hulu short film of the same name, is a story about the pressures put on women to be mothers and the stress of living up to expectations. Sure, it features some chilling imagery and some jumpscares, but the underlying messages within the film are the truly frightening part and render the surface horror a little underwhelming.

I was in my mid-30s when my wife and I decided not to have children. Until then, starting a family had always seemed like the natural culmination of a series of personal and professional journeys. But when faced with the prospect of a “geriatric pregnancy” and all the complications and difficulties that process incurs, we had to make a decision (we did), and we had to be sure (we were). Those memories fluttered to the surface throughout “Clock,” the debut horror film from actor and filmmaker Alexis Jacknow.

Exclusive: Amazon Studios has acquired The Blindings, a pitch for an original genre film to be written and directed by Alexis Jacknow. 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy & Dan Cohen will produce.
The storyline is being kept under wraps but it is a timely twist on genre that takes tonal and conceptual inspiration from such films as Carrie, It Follows and Final Destination. Emily Morris will oversee for 21 Laps.
