The spooky shadows and eerie creaking of a rickety old house are brought to life via lush CGI in Monster House. A young boy named DJ has suspicions about the house across the street and the cranky old man (voiced by Steve Buscemi, Fargo) who lives there. When the old man has a heart attack and is carried away by an ambulance, DJ thinks the danger is over. Unfortunately, as he, his friend Chowder, and a candy-selling prep-school girl named Jenny discover, the house itself has plans--plans that include eating all the kids who'll be trick-or-treating that Halloween night. Monster House begins with some deliciously creepy scenes that will send chills down children's spines (and may be too intense for younger viewers); animated movies rarely make such effective use of what isn't being shown. The animation is vivid and detailed (though CGI still has a ways to go in capturing the full range of human facial expressions). But like most horror movies, the anticipation of horror is much more exciting than the horror itself; as the secrets of Monster House are revealed, the movie's thrills unravel. The noisy explosions at the end aren't half as much fun as the slow twitches of a few blades of grass in the movie's elegant beginning. --Bret Fetzer

Jodi's review Spooky and Scares Your Guts Out July 27, 2008
This movie is a bit like Sony Pictures first animated movie Open Season. This movie will crack you up. The characters are DJ, Chowder, Jennny and Nebbercraker. DJ has a mean babysitter named Zee and her crazy boyfriend Bones. DJ's parents left him till tomorrow night. DJ and Chowder sneak out to investgate Nebbercraker's house. Chowder finds out the house is alive. The next day DJ and Chowder save a girl named Jenny. She becomes friends with them then they call the cops. One was a rookie and the other was rude. Then the house ate everyone, so now that they're in the house they must find the heart and put out the fire. You even get to see Nebbercrakers old wife Constance. In my family this movie would be top awesome after Transformers this movie would be perfect for Halloween. This movie I really like because when I watch other horror movies they sometimes scare the devil out of me and I can't fall asleep. Monster House is really different from other horror movies. First it is a cartoon with comedy in it and last horror so this would be a horror movie for kids. This movie was made by Steven Spielberg. Thank you for reading this. Good Bye.
Great story and animation! June 23, 2008
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Spooky scary. Probably too much so for kids under 11. Highly recommend.
Great sppoky movie May 1, 2008
This is a fun, spooky movie for kids but us adults enjoyed it too. The effects are really neat, the things the house does. I found some good humor in it as well. I may not watch it 10 times, but most kids will.
Great Prices! March 27, 2008
Good product, great prices, speedy delivery. I'm completely satisfied as is my son who loves his DVD.
