WATCH: Jack Black is a warlock and Cate Blanchett a witch in new Eli Roth horror

Cape Town - Jack Black and two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett star in The House with a Clock in Its Walls.

The film follows 10-year-old Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his uncle in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart.  But his new town’s sleepy façade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead.

Based on the beloved children’s classic written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey, The House with a Clock in Its Walls is directed by master frightener Eli Roth and written by Eric Kripke (creator of TV’s Supernatural).
