In the tradition of Amblin classics where fantastical events occur in the most unexpected places, Jack Black and two-time Academy Award® winner Cate Blanchett star in The House with a Clock in Its Walls, from Amblin Entertainment. The magical adventure tells the spine-tingling tale of 10-year-old Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his uncle in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart. But his new town’s sleepy façade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead.

Based on the beloved children’s classic written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey, The House with a Clock in Its Walls is directed by master frightener Eli Roth and written by Eric Kripke (creator of TV’s Supernatural).

MOVIE REVIEW

Looking for your boy with magical powers fix and don’t want to re-watch Harry Potter for the gazillionth time? Self-described horror master Eli Roth, the mind behind such family-friendly and critically acclaimed fare such as Hostel, Cabin Fever and Green Inferno, is here to save the day with the whacky The House with a Clock in Its Walls, a movie that keeps making me think of what its porn parody title will be.
