Reviews for Monster House
Set on Halloween, the script is original and nicely creepy, even when the boys are joined by a redhead named Jenny.

Top CriticIn an era of meticulously muggy, corporate-vetted movies designed to launch possible franchises before the first film has even released, Monster House plays pleasingly to audiences of almost any age, driven by a strong sense of wonderment.
09/18/06
A rich, layered and often funny script, with some decent scares, as well as some knowing, hip scenes that satisfy with their edgy moments and lines.
09/02/06
...amid the technical dazzle, the spunky juvenile protagonists give the film an unlikely anchor.
08/31/06
Monster House may look like the sort of movie that is more or less safe for little kids, but the humour gets a little crude in places.
08/31/06
Here's a conundrum: an animated movie that is pitched at kids but is far more suitable for teenagers and adults.
08/31/06
From his brilliantly twisted vision of the house itself to the casting of the voice actors for this film, Kenan couldn't have done a better job for his frosh film effort.
08/24/06
This is not only going to make the little ones jump, but it made a few big ones (like me) jump, too! It's scary
08/23/06
Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be a monster hit.
08/21/06
The last act ends up marring what up to that point has been an above-average kiddie adventure.
08/19/06
So fresh, innovative and fun, you can't believe it wasn't written by Brad Bird and directed by Robert Zemeckis.
08/17/06
Newfangled technology providing old-fashioned frights. Maybe these folks are on to something.
08/14/06
Un susto animado digno de risas y una cinta imprescindible más para el almanaque de noche de brujas.
08/11/06
A bracingly icy breath of fresh air, a tween-oriented family film that is unabashedly out to frighten… an excursion into primal fears of places you don’t want to walk past at night.
08/09/06
Monster House, a CG-animated horror comedy, has the kind of freaky-fun imagery that goes directly to the heart of your inner child.
08/06/06
Am I the only one wondering why "Monster House" wasn't released at Halloween?
08/05/06
... too intense for children... too dull for adults... why wasn't this a LIVE feature film?
08/05/06
A decent dark animated picture with some fun, some scares and some neat interaction between the three lead characters.
08/04/06
In a lovely neighbourhood there is a very old and dilapidated house that eats anything that lands on its property.
