“The House with a Clock in Its Walls” is based on the 1973 children’s book of the same name by author John Bellairs and illustrator Edward Gorey. “Daddy’s Home” child actor Owen Vaccaro plays a 10-year-old orphan who moves in with his uncle (Jack Black). The uncle’s home turns out to be alive, and thus begins an adventure that includes awakening the dead and teaming up with a witch next door (Blanchett).
