The House With a Clock In Its Walls

Eli Roth has proven himself as a horror filmmaker (Hostel) but not as a helmer of children's movies. With The House With a Clock In Its Walls, an adaptation of John Bellairs gothic fantasy, the director and Inglorious Basterds actor looks to change that.

Starring Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, and Kyle MacLachlan, along with introducing Owen Vaccaro, the movie looks heaps of fun.

The new trailer sees Black and Blanchett reveal themselves as powerful controllers of magic who attempt to teach Vaccaro's young character their ways. However, the last tenant of their spooky mansion installed a clock in th walls (hence the title) which is counting down to something ominous happening.

Produced by Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and writer Eric Kripke, the The House With a Clock In Its Walls reaches cinemas 21 September.
