The magical Amblin Entertainment adventure, The House With a Clock In Its Walls, tells the spine-tingling tale of 10-year-old Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro), recently orphaned and sent to stay with his Uncle Jonathan (Jack Black, Envy) and his neighbor Mrs. Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). If adjusting to a new home, a new school and new friends weren’t enough to deal with in his new life, Lewis’ entire world turns upside down when he discovers Uncle Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman are both powerful practitioners of the magic arts.

Lewis soon discovers a hidden world of magic and supernatural menace within his new home, his uncle’s mysterious mansion—including an incessant tick-tocking doomsday clock set by an evil, undead sorcerer hellbent on destroying humanity!

All this, plus witches and warlocks, demons and deadly curses, attacking jack-o’-lanterns and endless hours of homework? Lewis’ new life is more than enough for any clever and cunning 10-year-old to juggle.

As the lost orphan himself trains in the mystical, magical arts, he’ll not only have the adventure of a lifetime...he’ll help heal two very broken people and allow them to rediscover their magic.

Based on the first volume in the beloved children’s series of Lewis Barnavelt books written by John Bellairs, The House with a Clock in Its Walls is directed by master frightener Eli Roth and written by Eric Kripke.
