Monster House Reviews |
I enjoyed watching Monster House in a regular theater; I expect those seeing it in 3D will have an elevated opinion, since it will be closer to a cross between a movie and a thrill ride. Fortunately, Monster House is strong enough that it doesn't need the 3D; it offers enough to make it palatable in any local multiplex. [read review]

Even if it can’t fill a measly 80 minutes, “Monster House” is enough of a feast for the eyes to recommend it. Gorgeous with detail and character expression, “House” uses its macabre plotline to dish out stellar animation. It’s runs out of steam fairly quickly, but the film looks so good, you might not even notice. [read review] B

Maybe I'm being a bit too critical (hey, it's my job) but to me, Monster House is merely a movie that you can throw the kids in a theatre to watch for 90 minutes and they will be safely entertained while you slip out to see Clerks II, Lady in the Water or whatever else it is you want to do this weekend. You won't have to worry about the youngsters. I'm sure at least if they don't like the movie, they'll enjoy the popcorn. [read review] 5/10

...is a great piece of nostalgia for us baby boomers who can remember the universal neighborhood crank of days gone by - in these times where neighbors barely know each other does this shared memory even exist anymore? Thankfully, spooky old house and all, he has been preserved in this fun house scare...is a down to earth comedy/horror kids film that is as intelligent as its main characters. It deserves to be seen on the big screen but, heck, I’d watch it on a little TV!.. [read review] A-,B+
"Monster House" was fun for me as an adult as well as for my kids. It was funny, creepy, and beautifully animated. Definitely see it in 3-D if you can. [read review] 8/10

...works for kids and for adults. Scary, funny, and full of nice twists, it has all the makings of a Halloween classic. [read review] 
--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
Goofy, slapstick "horror" for children using motion-capture animation. [read review]
