The House With a Clock in its Walls available to own today!

We received a copy for review. All opinions are my own. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett bring the screen to life in the new family-horror hit, The House With a Clock in its Walls. Based on the book, the movie does a great job bringing the characters, house and even dead people to life 😉 Owen Vaccaro, Lewis, also brings a lot to the movie and does a great job in his role. Overall we liked the movie. I feel that even with the PG rating (because there really isn’t any blood, gore, violence, profanity or promiscuity) it may be a little intense and I don’t know if I would say creepy – but somewhere along those lines. Lewis would know the right word.

There are dolls and puppets that move and talk – a lady that shapeshifts, killer pumpkins, a zombie, and so much more. Definitely preview it first, and use your own judgment. This is one you will enjoy if you like the magical, mystical, movies. There is a lot of comedy – especially between Jack and Cate, as well as some more serious moments. I love how in the end, Lewis finally realizes that he is happy with who he is and doesn’t need to change or prove himself to anyone.

Enjoy the delightfully thrilling tale of a mysterious house where things, including the inhabitants, are not what they seem to be.

In the most unexpected places, fantastical events, miraculous twists and suspense-filled moments ensue in this “zany kids adventure” (The Hollywood Reporter) that soon captivates adults as well. In the tradition of Amblin classics, master frightener and director Eli Roth’sThe House With a Clock in its Walls is a family-friendly fantasy film that “stands alongside the ‘just for kids’ classics of the 1980’s and 1990’s” (Forbes).

Based on the beloved children’s classic book written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey, The House With a Clock in its Walls is written by Eric Kripke (creator of TV’s “Supernatural”) and co-stars Kyle MacLachlan (“Twin Peaks,” Inside Out), Colleen Camp (Clue), Renée Elise Goldsberry (“One Life to Live”), and Sunny Suljic (Mid90s, The Killing of a Sacred Deer).
