Movie Reviews of Monster House [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Jodi's review Spooky and Scares Your Guts Out
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Monster House [Blu-ray]

Columbia Pictures Monster House (Blu-ray)
Even for a 12-year-old, D.J. Walkers has a particularly overactive imagination. He is convinced that his haggard and crabby neighbor Horace Nebbercracker, who terrorizes all the neighborhood kids, is responsible for Mrs. Nebbercracker's mysterious disappearance. Any toy that touches Nebbercracker's property promptly disappears, swallowed up by the cavernous house in which Horace lives. D.J. has seen it with his own eyes! But no one believes him, not even his best friend Chowder. What everyone does not know is that D.J. is not imagining things. Everything he's seen is absolutely true and it's about to get much worsethan anything D.J. could have imagined.

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
