The House With A Clock In Its Walls streaming: How to watch the full movie – Legal online?

The House with a Clock in Its Walls has arrived in UK cinemas. Based on the 1973 novel of the same name by John Bellairs, the film follows a boy who goes to live in an odd old house with his uncle.

The building is haunted by the original owner’s ghost, who intends to end the world with a clock he made before he died.

The hidden time piece is hidden somewhere in the walls of the building, as the title suggests.

While the film is on the big screen, can film fans stream it online legally yet?

Can you watch the full movie online? Is it legal?

The answer to both questions is no at this stage.

The House with a Clock in its Walls has only just hit cinemas, and unlike some films, does not have a simultaneous digital home release.

With streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon releasing original films through their online services – sometimes without a cinematic release – it’s always worth checking when a new film you fancy seeing is coming out.

Of course if you do happen to find The House with a Clock in its Walls available to watch online, beware it is an illegal pirated copy.

Usually films are released on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download around three to six months after they originally hit cinemas.

Meanwhile digital downloads are often available for purchase one or two weeks before the physical copies go on sale.

Nevertheless some outlets like iTunes already have the digital download version of The House with a Clock in its Walls available for pre-order.

The film, directed by Eli Roth stars Jack Black as Jonathan Barnavelt, a magical Warlock.

Meanwhile Cate Blanchett is Florence Zimmerman, a witch who lives next door and is Jonathan’s best friend.

Owen Vaccaro stars as Lewis, the young boy who goes to stay with Jonathan, his uncle.

The House With A Clock In Its Walls is in UK cinemas now.
