“This house knows what makes you tick.”

ComedyFamilyFantasyHorrorMystery

When ten-year-old Lewis is suddenly orphaned, he is sent to live with his Uncle Jonathan in a creaky (and creepy) old mansion with a mysterious ticking noise that emanates from the walls. Upon discovering that his uncle is a warlock, Lewis begins learning magic, but when he rebelliously resurrects an evil warlock he must find the secret of the house and save the world from destruction.

VIBE

Step into a delightfully eerie 1950s world where magic lurks behind every creaky wall. It feels like a charmingly spooky adventure, blending whimsical wonder with just enough gothic atmosphere to keep you on the edge of your seat. A magical, propulsive journey through a house full of secrets.
