Frightful fun for tweens and up.April 22, 2009
"Monster House" may well be the first mainstream animated exploitation movie.July 21, 2006
Until this animated horrorfest turns shrill, debuting director Gil Kenan delivers enough visual goods to justify the faith of producers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis.August 07, 2008
[Has] its moments of both scares and laughs.July 21, 2006
The difference between Monster House and most other animated movies is a little thing called story. It actually has one, and doesn't just trot out cheeky characters spewing gratuitous pop-culture references.July 21, 2006
Monster House benefits from strong graphic design and lovely lighting, but the script is nothing to write home about.July 21, 2006
It's part story and part spectacle, with the two halves being nicely balanced to offer something for just about everyone.July 21, 2006
The storytelling skill in Monster House isn't always up to its visuals. But as a roller-coaster summer entertainment, it's a heck of a lot more fun than Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, not to mention a full hour shorter.April 29, 2009
I suspect, and hope that "Monster House" will become a Halloween classic, because it's too fun to be forgotten.January 04, 2008
It's too dark for the kiddies, while not having enough of an adult flavor to reach an older audience.August 10, 2006
n the pantheon of CGI films, it's one of the most adult-orientated animations yet. I don't need to tell you that the kids in the screening were enamoured from start to finish.September 10, 2008
A good laugh and technologically fascinating.
