Thoughts about the House with a Clock in its Walls

A young boy named Lewis, maybe 11 or 12 years old, comes to live with his uncle (Jack Black). Lewis’ parents died in a car accident. The uncle lives in a strange house that seems to be alive. The uncle is a warlock.

Black is good in this. He might have been making this instead of Goosebumps Haunted Halloween and this movie might be a little better than the Goosebumps sequel. Cate Blanchett co-stars as a witch. She is good too.

I am not going to talk about the plot but I liked the movie. I think it was set in the army 1950s but it might not have been said. I thought it took a while to start but it had a good ending. Black is a bit subdued at times but it fits the story. His relationship with Blanchett is fun. I thought the young actor playing Lewis was good.

I think it is fine for families. This has some horrorific features but families can enjoy it.
