House with a Clock in Its Walls, A

After an orphaned, 10-year-old boy (Owen Vaccaro) goes to live with his eccentric, chocolate-loving, kimono-wearing uncle (Jack Black) in a creepy Victorian mansion in Michigan in 1955 in Eli Roth's disappointing, unevenly paced, silly, 104-minute film apated from John Bellairs's 1973 supernatural thriller, he quickly learns that his uncle is a warlock and his neighbor (Cate Blanchett) is a witch, and then to impress his schoolmate (Sunny Suljic), he creates a dangerous situation when he ignores his uncle's only rule and opens a cabinet to perform a necromancy spell that raises an evil, powerful warlock (Kyle MacLachlan) from the dead.
