Monster House Ratings & Reviews
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
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.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Ultimately, the environments are far more interesting than the humans navigating within them.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Equal parts Ray Bradbury and rickety carnival spook show, this animated tale of a carnivorous, haunted house and the band of neighborhood kids who decide to put it out of commission feels maddeningly unfinished...
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This follows in the grand tradition of adventure stories with middle-school-aged heroes (and heroines), the big, scary world of the story standing in as a metaphor for the big, scary world of adolescence and adulthood.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Monster House benefits from strong graphic design and lovely lighting, but the script is nothing to write home about.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Until this animated horrorfest turns shrill, debuting director Gil Kenan delivers enough visual goods to justify the faith of producers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The storytelling skill in Monster House isn't always up to its visuals. But as a roller-coaster summer entertainment, it's a heck of a lot more fun than Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, not to mention a full hour shorter.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
The difference between Monster House and most other animated movies is a little thing called story. It actually has one, and doesn't just trot out cheeky characters spewing gratuitous pop-culture references.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
An enjoyable ride on a dark but not-quite-scary-enough-to-make-you-scream roller coaster, told in elegant motion-capture animation.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
The movie treats children with respect. Monster's pre-teens are sarcastic, think they're smarter than their parents and are going crazy over the opposite sex.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
What the movie lacks in story development it makes up for in spooky thrills.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Monster House, a frankly horrific and full-tilt hilarious family yarn about a man-snacking mansion. It's engineered to scare your pants off, split your sides and squeeze your tear ducts into submission.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The result is an efficient film that never really catches fire, but satisfies along the way.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Like the books of Roald Dahl and the Harry Potter novels, Monster House does not condescend to kids, but respects their intelligence, and their ability to separate fantasy from reality.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Monster House never pulls off this transit of kiddie fright to delight and back. Yet there is plenty here to dread. The movie is a creepfest. And I don't mean that kindly.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Monster House is good fun. All that's missing is the indelible link between good and great.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Viewers of all ages who survived the 2003 film version of the Disney ride known as The Haunted Mansion will appreciate the improvement Monster House represents in the realm of old dark houses with great big secrets.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The overall conception suggests Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle, the frenetic pacing seems as American as an apple pie in your face.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Even at 87 minutes, Monster House overstays its welcome. The finale is an overbearingly loud chaos of splintered boards and sentiment.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Best of all, Monster House employs technology that allows for facial expressions and nuances of performance in its animated characters.
