The beloved children's novel comes to life in the spirit of Amblin classics (Gremlins, The Goonies) where fantastical events occur in the most unexpected places.
From master frightener Eli Roth and Supernatural writer Eric Kripke comes a family-friendly horror that tells the spine-tingling tale of ten-year-old Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his eccentric uncle Jonathan Barnavelt (Jack Black) in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart. But his uncle, the house, and everything in this peculiar town - including their mysterious neighbour Mrs Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett) - hides a dark secret. When Lewis accidentally awakens the dead, the town's sleepy faade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches.
