The perfect animated film and my favorite film of 2006. So much fun and so many levels of artistic genius behind the great story and dialogue.

"Monster House" apresenta-nos visuais impecáveis, uma narrativa genial e segura e personagens interessantes. No geral, podemos dizer que é um agradável filme animado de terror.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Monster House ok this is one of my fav movies of all time also it is my fav animation movie the characters is great in this movie the kids are entertaining to have great jokes in the mix so DJ is concerted that the house is real while he keeps stalking it while his friend Chowder are doing the same thing besides that he does not want to do any of the crazy things they have to do to try to kill the house or go inside of it to try to figure out what is happening Jenny to me is an ok character she is not that interesting she is kinda their to give Chowder to do what she wants to do odd way to go with Chowder and her Nebbercracker as the villain is great his performance is great and his wife is the one controlling the house because she is kinda like a supernatural ghost which is odd but is awesome the house looks awesome this is the most beautiful of animation I seen over the years and that is saying something I think this movie is very good I wish they was a sequel to see what the characters been doing sense that trama sadly did not get one I know it would not have been good as the first but I still would of seen something like is said what happened after the troma of this the ending is awesome the house get's out of the area and gets angry starts to try to kill all of them also the ending where Nebbercracker and his wife dancing was cool after when the house blew up this movie is great I would recommend everyone to see this movie I love it so I give Monster House an A… Expand

It's a average blockbuster adventure animation you'll love to see with your kids in a sunny day. Robert Zemeckis does a fine job overall for "Monster House", but I expect more from him.

Monster House leaves no scares.
A very average script filled with udder nonsense. The movie feels long and pointless all winding down to a ludicrous ending that really leaves the film nothing to work with.

Um dos filmes que eu mais amei na minha infância e assisto até hoje. Pode até dar um pouquinho de medo. A animação é bem feita,tem personagens legais e assombração ilícita,na qual eu amava e amo.

Chilling, creative, funny. I was in love with this movie the first time I saw it as a fifth-grader. The title may drive some viewers away, but they made it work-- pretty damn well!

I didn't enjoy this movie, the plot was nasty, unlike Shrek for example Monster House is not a family movie it's a small kids and babies movie.

I thought it would be too scary for kids, but the 8 year old I was with didn't find it too scary, she loved it. The story is unpredictable with a very gruesome explanation of why the house is a monster. When I watched it, I felt like they were taking some chances and didn't smooth over all the rough edges. As stated, the voices are amazing, especially Jason Lee and Steve Buschemi. This movie reminded me a lot of Goonies. Really hilarious, but with some real scares. Heartwarming. Impressive.

The three pre-teen kids are pretty decent facsimiles of kids we've seen in past amusement park ride-like films of yesteryear, so the danger they court is surprisingly fun, and not at all headache-inducing.

This is one of the few films that really seems to understand what pre-pubescent boys are like, and captures it perfectly in a very imaginative setting, with a true visual style. The kids are likeable and unprecocious, and their comedic timing is perfect. The performance capture also makes for some incredibly expressive animation, not to be missed. Also, I have to laugh at the reviewer who figures this is all a marketing scheme for a Disney ride - which is pretty funny considering it was made by Sony.… Expand

The visual styling acheived through This was a very good movie - except for the one and only fatal flaw I'll mention later. It strikes a nice balance between faux-realism (Sky Captain) and talking whatevers (every other CG movie). The visual styling acheived through performance capture is a very creative, unique, if not over-the-top approach - and actually done well. It certainly adds a layer of organic quality to the acting that most other CGI films miss. Nevertheless, it doesn't skimp on top-tier animation. Like most, it does a nice job retaining the beleivable faux-filmed shot effect, but differentiates again by doing so with zero motion blur. A rare but cool effect. The only problem is that it reveals the limitations of standard 24-30FPS frame rates. That'll probably be coincidentally addressed as soon as HD replaces most DVD players. The characters were expectedly a bit stereotypical, but seemed offset by the convincing dialogue exchanges. They actually made the idea of PG-rated horror targeting kids work without feeling too sappy and calculated for adults, for the most part. While capturing the aspects of live action horror better than expected, it certainly wasn't too scary, crude, or gruesome for children. That wouldn't be true had the same scenes been shot with a real-life quality. Its not as family oriented as anything done by Disney/Pixar, but that's all they do albiet well - why should EVERY CG movie be THE SAME sappy family adventure with these calculated infallible performances that avoid ever sounding like a conversation any real person over 8 could ever relate to? I'm not saying Disney's are bad, on the contrary, but enough critcism that others don't immitate them. I'm still waiting for more PG-13 and (oh my) an R-rated CG movie that follows more along the lines of the anti-family-appeal types such as Antz or Shark Tale. The only thing that made this a 6 out of 10 vs. a 9 out of 10 - warning: [***SPOILERS***]: the ending. At the point where I knew the credits were about to roll, I was sure that nobody that was shown getting killed had any chance of coming back. They were all throwaway characters that deserved it. It was clear the ending would have no stupid epilogue or open ending, so it had NO reason to give any explanation as to what happened to the deceased and how that would affect their community - let people think a little bit. The ending, of course, was cheery in regard to main and uninvolved characters surviving. If any that didn't deserve it in context had died, it would've been quite innappropiate for children. Actually the ending I almost got made far more sense than most live action films that go the other way and overemphasize this unnecessarily grim or unbelievably stupid ending as if trying to pull one over people. I was so glad it didn't do the cheesy, predictable thing that only a true bubble-gum-pop kid-flick that barely cost a few million bucks to make would have any right to do... until it did! Until this, I'd though this movie was above and beyond that worthless tripe. All the characters that died in the movies time frame was resurrected without having learned a single thing. The first was a VERY convincingly portrayed stereotypical drunk stoner drop-out, that has to exist and get killed in every real horror film unless developed any further than that (in which case they still tend to get slashed). So what kind of message is this conveying? I'm confused. They took as much liberty as PG-rating could've possibly allowed by having the clearly underaged "bones" hammered while making abusive sexual passes. Add an F-word to that scene and the MPAA would've been questioning if that scene deserved an R-rating. This complete inconsistency really undermined the entire premise that the house was ever something to fear, and that the movie wasn't a total waste of time. If you can pretend this wasn't part of the movie, its still good. Take my advice and hit the stop button as soon as you hear the credit roll coming. Your kids will thank you.… Expand

Monster House. It's alive! A beautifully drawn film with a very interesting plot. The main star - House performed its role perfectly. He's scary, old and very big. Therefore, on Halloween day, he will eat a lot of children.

The neighbor, Mr. Nebbercracker, rudely drives away the children who will knock on his door or play near his house, stealing the toys that are left in his lawn. Obviously, grown-ups don't want to hear the suspicions of the little ones, who believed that something is wrong there.

This movie deals with four things: privacy, private property, fear and monsters. Initially, the old neighbor looks just like an old man who does not want to be bothered or wants anyone stepping on his ground. So far he has every right to do so, and we must see the behavior of this children as a mere voyeurism. They have no right to spy the old man or get into his private life. Its only with the development of the film that we actually find that the children were right in their suspicions. Anyway, we condemn the fact of this film, in a way, encourages voyeurism. The life of others should not be more interesting than ours. Aside from this moral detail, the film's story is good and solid. I also thought the ending of the movie was very exaggerated.

The film features voice actors such as Steve Buscemi (the old man), Mitchel Musso or Kathleen Turner. I think they all did a good job, according to our expectations. Animation was done in a very interesting way: contrary to the general trend of looking for realistic animations, this film decided for a more classic, stylized look. This made it different, with some pleasing originality. I don't think it's the right movie for young children, given the content mildly associated with horror and the moral options we already spoke. Discernment and care of parents and adults is key to understanding whether its appropriate or not. Either way, it's a family movie, where grown-up kids are likely to feel more at ease than adults.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Monster House was honestly amazing for its time. You've got DJ who has suspicions of Nebbercracker, who for some reason gets angered easily when something is on his lawn, including when we saw that trike break apart from his bare hands! However, his parents don't really believe him, which would most likely happen in real life. I may not go deeper in the film because of how much there would be to talk about, but I just love how everything was planned out! I also love the animation style of the movie, it was something that I honestly enjoyed very much. I can take the challenge of a horror movie like this, and it's worth it.… Expand

This movie caught me by surprise

Monster House was a perfect combination of kid-friendliness, horror, action and adventure. When I first walked into the theater I thought it would be "kiddy" because I went to see it with my younger cousin.This movie caught me by surprise

Monster House was a perfect combination of kid-friendliness, horror, action and adventure. When I first walked into the theater I thought it would be "kiddy" because I went to see it with my younger cousin. You know how most animated movies are somewhat funny and about teamwork and working together or teaches life lessons or morals but I actually came to find that this movie was more scary than comical or ethical. I actually got into it. I actually ended up liking it more than my cousin. Some of the content is for older kids but it's non-stop action and the momentum of the story line never stops. And the characters seem so real. 2 thumbs up. I definitely recommend it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Que animação incrível ta maluco, fazia tempo que eu não ria de verdade vendo um filme e uma animação de 2006 conseguiu. Tem diálogos além de bom nesse filme o da babá com a menina que vende chocolate e o principal com o bocão. O filme acabando com o meme do magrão falando sinistro é maravilhoso. E o principal ponto a se elogiar com toda certeza vou com a direção da animação é cada Ângulo de câmera cara que você se assusta nunca vi um trabalho tão bem feito nesse quesito numa animação. Absurdo e elogios para quem fez o design do monstro muito original e muito daora.… Expand

This movie is very different in a way that is a typical lifestyle when the peevish Nebbercracker berates any neighbor from his property and confiscates their valued belongings, but his purpose behind these swashbucklings is reticent. The empathetic protagonist DJ, who lives across the street spys on Nebbercracker to scrutinize the details of his neighbors' origins and try to put all the pieces together with the help of his friend chowder, who believes that the entire plot is an overreaction and myth but is eventually proven wrong when Nebbercracker's house becomes something very unusual. Just like the director Kenan, he collaborates from the subtle composer, Douglas Pipes, who uses suspense, joy, and delightful music to the screen. When I say "suspense", I mean that this flick has no full gratitude towards younger audiences as the music will most likely play during very dark scenes, which gave me a slight concern on the PG rating the MPAA gave this film and its release in July instead of October, but no concern on the lack of blood. Mystery inquisitives and many movie buffs would not regret seeing this movie and I think it is was a fun experience that I would say for this kind of directorial debut.… Expand

The movie does give a shiver down my spine, but the story of the movie just doesn't do the job.
