Monster House (Widescreen Edition) [DVD] [NTSC]

I didn't know what to expect, but I must say I found it quite enjoyable. There was a lot of talk before the movie. People were saying that it will be too scary for the little kids, but not adult enough to capture older kids attention. I can see it being quite frightening at times for the little ones, but of the kids in the theater its not like I heard any of them screaming mommy. I don't know how well the movie will do with kids, but from an adult's perspective, its definitely worth a viewing. The best part of the movie definitely has to be the characters. Each were extremely well thought out and put together. They did a fantastic job of matching right voices with the right characters. Characters facial expressions were amazing. You'll find yourself laughing at things they say and do quite a lot. The animation looks great. They certainly aren't ground breaking. But they fit the movie well. However, I will say that some scenes looked quite amazing. If you are looking for a fun, clean movie with plenty of laughs and chuckles, this is definitely one you don't want to miss!

A BRILLIANT film. Bought for my grandson who just loved this film!

Monster House has now become a traditional watch among casual viewers. Interestingly this received a mixed reception upon release, but as time has gone on it slowly garnered a following. I can see why, especially for younger audiences. Halloween films designed for the whole family are rare these days and I do think this was released way ahead of its time. A couple of kids believe their neighbour's house is actually alive after the owner is rushed to hospital. Conducting their own little investigation, the kids are involved in a story that is slightly more personal and evokes sympathy. This is an unusual film, considering it's produced by Zemeckis and Spielberg. It's got the 80's adventure vibe that Spielberg is famous for and a similar style animation that Zemeckis used for "The Polar Express". This is one of those rare films where my score flips constantly, this time between a six and seven. There are many great elements. The inclusion of subtle horror and terror blends well with the witty script. Not enough to scare everyone but an adequate amount to frighten children. The characters were memorable and full of life, each hosting a differing personality so that the dialogue bounces back and forth consistently between them. The narrative moves along at a rapid pace, in fact rather impeccably well. The most important thing, and the major thing I'm sure you all took away from this, is that it teaches you what a uvula is. Literally. Whenever I think about this film, instantly the uvula pops into my mind. The biggest problem however is the third act. It's completely preposterous to a point where I'm thinking "...surely someone is going to see the giant house walking down the street attacking children?". The animation is slightly polygonal occasionally which does take you out of the film. However, it's a good Halloween film that captures the magic of older similar films. It only gets better with age, just prepare yourself for a stupid ending.

It's great to see a comuter animated film that does not follow the usual 'cute characters on wacky adventure with a few jokes for the adults thrown in'. Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing films following that formula, but this film is completely different. Genuinely scarey and creepy in parts, even in a way in which grown-ups can appreciate, and funny in a very real, believeable way. This film missed out at the Oscars to Pixar's Cars I think, which is a bit of a travesty - but the fact that not many people know about it makes you appreciate it even more.

Seen it before. Got for the kids

This is a fairly good film, although I agree it should be a 12A because the creepy old man is quite scary, especially for younger children. The plot is quite good, but drags a little at times. To me, the climax of the film was less interesting than the rest and was kind of just waiting for it to hurry along. But I like the two main characters, although the film makers have tried too hard to be funny at times and it makes you cringe a little. But the film is pleasant overall, a nice setting and kept me fairly interested throughout.

I adore this movie so much, it is full of both funny and scary moments. Its a great movie for both adults and kids. The story moves fast which is always the best when it comes to Halloween style movies, the character are likable and realistic. Its a really great watch and favorite of mine for Halloween. I would diffidently recommend anyone to watch this.

Nice , enjoyed, feared , safe for 7yr old watching nice cartoon
