The House With The Clock In Its Walls 2018 Based on the John Bellairs novel of the same name, screenplay by Eric Kripke, directed by Eli Roth.
Ten year old Lewis goes to live with his Uncle Jonathan in New Zebedee Michigan. Uncle Jonathan lives in a big old mansion that could easily be mistaken for a haunted house. The man who lived there previously was a warlock and Uncle J is one too. UJ's best friend Florence Zimmerman is a witch and she lives next door.
Lewis breaks the big rule in the house and open the locked vault and steals the magical book he finds. He uses a spell in the graveyard to impress a friend but it only revives the dead warlock Isaac who used to live in the house. Isaac returns home to unleash the deadly clock he'd hidden in the walls of the house. It will turn back time so he can live without the annoying humans he's come to dislike so.
It was fun and there was usually something going on most of the time. I was happy to have seen it and I'll want to watch it again someday.
