But, in the larger and more obvious sense, it is basically another post-Potter, post-His-Dark-Materials knockoff, machine-tooled for the tweenie fanbase, about a kid called Lewis (Owen Vaccaro), heartbreakingly lonely and well-mannered, with a quasi-Brit bowtie (does he really tie that thing up every morning, or is it a clip-on?) and sporting an annoying pair of goggles for no very compelling or amusing reason. It is adapted by screenwriter Eric Kripke from a children’s fantasy novel published in 1973 by the US author John Bellairs. S hockmeister Eli Roth takes on something cosier and comfier than usual with this family-oriented movie about an orphan boy who goes to live with his eccentric and mysterious uncle in a spooky old-timey house, full of clocks.
