The House with a Clock in Its Walls (film)

The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a 2018 American fantasy comedy film directed by Eli Roth, starring Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Owen Vaccaro, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Sunny Suljic and Kyle MacLachlan. It is based on the 1973 novel of the same name by John Bellairs, which was the first in a series of 12 books. The film follows a young boy, Lewis, who is sent to live with his uncle, Jonathan, in a creaky, old house. He soon learns it was previously inhabited by an evil warlock.
Universal Pictures released the film in the United States on September 21, 2018. It was a box office success, grossing over $131 million worldwide, and received mostly positive reviews from critics, who largely praised the cast but said the film did not fully live up to its potential. It is Eli Roth's first film to not receive an R rating.
