Monster House

My absolute favorite animated movie! In fact, one of my top 10 movies of all time. Thrilling emotional rollercoaster ride.

The movie is stupid in a perfect way. I enjoyed watching it and recommend it.

It's has very good storyline, and also some dark meaning behind this movie. Overall this movie is good.

Engraçado, aterrorizante e divertido tudo na medida correta, filme PERFEITO! Com certeza um ótimo filme família, entrete tanto os adultos quanto as crianças.

Monster House is one of those movies you show your kids as their first horror movie.

A classic of my childhood. Recommended.

This is quite an entertaining "kids' movie. If your kid wants to watch scary movies I recommend it. Although, make sure they have the heart for it first. It takes haunted house to the next level. The house is the monster. It is a good plot twist in my opinion. Also, the characters are entertaining. The comedy is decent. The backstory of the house is also well written. I especially enjoyed learning about the Nebbercracker.

The Best and Most Horrifying Animated Movie Ever!😱💀👻🏚🍿

It was in fact bad...

"Monster House" was created using the same Robert Zemeckis motion capture technology that brought us "Polar Express" and "Beowulf". Of all the films made using this technology, this one came out looking the best. It embraced a more cartoony style and found its way on the better half of the uncanny valley. It doesn't mean that the movie looks great, but it is certainly the best by comparison. The movie was helmed by first time director Gil Kenan. It is Halloween, and our story follows three kids, who are just at the age where they think they are too old to trick or treat. There is a house across the street with a creepy back story that is believed to be haunted. Through various circumstances the trio investigate and see exactly how much truth there are in these rumors. The characters are pretty annoying, it is accurate to 13-year-olds, but it doesn't help the audience root for their survival. The movie in general feels a little direction less. It juggles about two too many stories and characters. For example, the trailers highly advertised Jon Heder's character, "Skull". But really his character could have been written out of the movie, and nothing would be missed. He only provides gamer nerd jokes, which admittedly Heder does well with. Add in a couple cops, a babysitter and some random bullies, and you got yourself an overstuffed story. When the trio is inside the titular house, the movie can be the right level of creepy and funny. I'm sure that for some kids this could be a fun Halloween movie. The story just spends too much time wandering around. The ending reveal about the house...I'm not sure if it is supposed to be hilarious, but it might be the dumbest reason to have a house be haunted. It likewise makes the climax feel a bit underwhelming. Overall, the movie has some treats, but could have used fewer tricks in the bag.
