Review of Monster House (2006)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for Modamag.com (300) on 21 Jul 2006

Way too scary for tykes and far too juvenile for teens, this malevolent monstrosity falls into a pre-adolescent abyss…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 20 Jul 2006

The result is an efficient film that never really catches fire, but satisfies along the way…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 20 Jul 2006

Like the books of Roald Dahl and the Harry Potter novels, Monster House does not condescend to kids, but respects their intelligence, and their…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 20 Jul 2006

Monster House never pulls off this transit of kiddie fright to delight and back. Yet there is plenty here to dread…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2006

Set around Halloween, Monster House manages to cull bits and pieces from Hammer, Hitchcock and the old-dark-house genre of 19th Century literature…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 20 Jul 2006

Even at 87 minutes, Monster House overstays its welcome. The finale is an overbearingly loud chaos of splintered boards and sentiment…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 20 Jul 2006

Monster House was designed as a family movie and a scary movie. It may scare children, but it won't terrify them…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 20 Jul 2006

As far as 2006 is concerned, Monster House is the best animated picture I've seen so far this year…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Jul 2006

Director Gil Kenan has a feel for dizzying camera work, and the screenplay combines witty gags with a sweet, albeit familiar, suggestion that…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 20 Jul 2006

Reminiscent of last year's shrill 'Zathura,' another film that couldn't find the proper balance between humor and horror…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Timothy Knight (332) for Reel.com (1,232) on 20 Jul 2006

While it has some spectacular set pieces and dollops of goofy, wisecracking humor, Monster House rests on such a flimsily constructed narrative…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denver Rocky Mountain News (608) on 20 Jul 2006

Kids probably won't mind the movie's excesses, but even as Monster House moved toward the inevitable uplifting ending, I wished Kenan and company…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Movie Mom (753) on 20 Jul 2006

This follows in the grand tradition of adventure stories with middle-school-aged heroes (and heroines), the big, scary world of the story standing…

By Kevin Carr (1,610) for 7M Pictures (1,037) on 20 Jul 2006

Strikes the perfect mix for children and adults…

Monster House is the first horror comedy made exclusively for fourth-graders…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Mike Russell (146) for Oregonian (1,550) on 20 Jul 2006

The house itself -- with a porch for a mouth, a carpet for a tongue and a chandelier for a uvula -- is terrifying in the family friendly way…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 20 Jul 2006

The house itself - which walks down the street in one impressive scene - is memorably voiced by Kathleen Turner…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Jack Garner (583) for Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (558) on 20 Jul 2006

The haunted house concept gets an invigorating rehab in Monster House, the latest -- and highly entertaining -- animated feature from the folks…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 20 Jul 2006

The movie, by UCLA film-school grad and whiz kid Gil Kenan -- reflects a distinctive voice, one that's needed in the ever more crowded but…

Review of Monster House (2006)

By Geoff Pevere (572) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 20 Jul 2006
