Summary: 3 Stars
'Monster House' is literally that. Not just your typical dilapidated haunted house, 12-year old D.J.'s neighbor's home across the street is alive and kicking. This is only discovered when its occupant, Nebbencracker (Steve Buscemi), nearly dies during a nasty confrontation with D.J. He's just as mean as usual, but this time he pays for it. D.J. and his best friend, Chowder, keep vigil from D.J.'s bedroom window with a telescope. And no one believes them. Not their babysitter (Maggie Gyllenhal), not the police, not even the local video game meister. No one. That is until the house comes to life and starts eating people, wrapping them with its carpet tongue and swallowing them whole. The boys join forces with their babysitter's nemesis, Jenny, to muster up their courage and figure out a way to free the captives, including all the neighbors' toys. We find out that even Nebbencracker is in some ways haunted--by a secret in his past.
The whole adventure is unique. It uses the computer animation to good use with scary special effects and the scenic autumn views. While "Pixar" type animation has changed things considerably, the voices give some heart to the sometimes rubbery animated faces. Some of the scenes are intense enough to keep most children interested, but some discretion should be used for the very youngest. (3 1/2 *'s)
Movie Review: that morgage hangs like an anvil on a chain around the neck of Amercia?
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is part of the new trend of ray traced animation movies.
The ability of computers to make animated human like figures that move
has changed the way we see things in 3d.
The plot is a clever "goose bumps" type plot
out of camp fire stories about the demon souls that take over inanimate bodies.
These kids fight the house and forge a bond of
hardship with each other.
"Luke, blow that thing and let's get out of here"
crossed my mind when the explosive went down the pie hole.
Movie Review: Not for the very litle ones
Summary: 3 Stars
Monster House uses an animation technique where the faces of the characters are made very "human" and this results in a sometimes disturbing feeling, especially when the characters are showing rage or fear. My kids got scared watching it and ran away (7 & 8)although I know some children are a lot tougher and can watch the insect scene in "King Kong" without getting the heebie jeebies. (Which I did). Certainly the animation technique creates a more intense experience.
