Here is a short review of "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" movie plot summary.

In 1955, after his parents are killed in a car crash, ten-year-old Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro) moves to live with his Uncle Jonathan (Jack Black) in New Zebedee, Michigan. All he has left of his parents is a Magic 8-Ball they had given him, and a family photograph. Upon entering his new home, he meets Jonathan's neighbor and best friend, Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett).
During the night, Lewis is puzzled when he hears a ticking sound in the walls. Lewis begins exploring the house and stumbles upon Jonathan smashing a wall with an ax. Frightened, he runs away and encounters multiple household objects coming to life. Jonathan confesses that he is a warlock and Florence is a witch. The house's previous owners were a sinister warlock named Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan), (an orphaned former friend of Jonathan's who was traumatized while fighting in WWII), and his equally wicked wife Selena (Renée Elise Goldsberry). Isaac and Selena had apparently hidden a clock within the walls of the house before they died, and Jonathan has been trying to find the clock and discover its purpose. Despite Jonathan's cautions, Lewis begins teaching himself magic.
On his first day at his new school, Lewis meets Tarby Corrigan (Sunny Suljic), who befriends him during Tarby's campaign for class president. When Tarby wins the election, he abandons Lewis.
Lewis's mother visits him in dreams. When he laments that Tarby does not see him as a friend, she suggests that he use a spell from a forbidden book to impress Tarby. On Halloween night, Lewis performs a necromancy spell in a cemetery, accidentally summoning the ghost of Isaac who reinhabits his dead body.
