A completely innocent, at times screamingly funny movie that’s mostly about an idealized world made of '60s cultural icons, a slicing of reality’s fabric so we might step directly into Zombie’s visions of his past sitting in front of the TV. Read full review

The Film Stage Ethan Vestby

With little in the way of narrative outside a real-estate scam subplot, the company of its characters and Zombie’s formal verve are The Munsters‘ selling point. It’s a true case of “your mileage may vary.” Read full review

For the most part, the comedy in Zombie’s The Munsters is low brow, the vibrantly gaudy locales could pass for displays found inside of a Spirit Halloween store, and the acting rejects subtly like bloodsuckers do garlic, all of which often feel exactly as they are supposed to be. Zombie is an artist that operates on a strange wavelength has likely made his most sincere work to date, fulfilling the brassy exhumation of these weirdos. Read full review

The Munsters is a wholesome labor of love that’s probably for the most diehard sitcom fans because for better and worse, Rob Zombie makes the Munsters reboot he wants to see. Read full review

The film is a lot like its hero, Herman Munster: benignly dim-witted, Day-Glo in color, top-heavy with tomfoolery, lumbering in one direction and then the next, always cracking itself up in an innocently aggressive monster-mash way. Read full review

Zombie’s film, though clearly sweet and well-intentioned, seems only partially formed, a Frankenstein monster with only half the parts. Read full review

What a baffling, misguided film. Read full review

No idea why everyone is hating on this, it's a great prequel for what the show is, and the best thing about it is hanging out with these silly, super fun characters.

Another zombie masterpiece! Definitely a nostalgia extravaganza. Not sure why a Munsters fan would not love this.

I'm a little sick and tired of all the undeserved negatively this film is receiving. I actually enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought the blu-ray the day after viewing.

I actually enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought the blu-ray the day after viewing. The Munsters has a look and style that is visually unprecedented. I truly have never seen anything so vivid and captivating. It's the literal and emotional honorarium to the 60's TV show that I loved so much as a child. How anyone expected anything different than its quirky and corny influence is beyond me. I watched this with my girlfriend and 2 close friends. We were all completely mesmerized and thoroughly entertained the entire time, and there were several moments where we all burst out laughing. It was such a good time! This movie is destined to become a cult classic like many others that initially failed with critics. I can see this becoming a Halloween staple of viewing season after season to come. Being PG it's something EVERYONE can experience together. Thank you Mr. Zombie.… Expand

One of those “what am I watching ?” and “why am I watching it ?” sort of movies. The 90’s Addams Family movies are so much better. If Rob Zombie was a fan he should have called Tim Burton and asked him if he could make a Munsters movie.

This I was going to say is Batman & Robin like bad but it might actually be worse. Fans of the show, I can’t actually even say will enjoy this since I am a fan of the show…
Jorge Garcia as Floop is at least not phoning it in and it takes awhile to realize he was Hurley in Lost. Though yeah I can’t say this will lead him to bigger and better movies either way.
The movie is like an episode of the show and the end probably would have worked better if it was. For a movie it leads to nothing special or worthwhile.
At least my older brother who loves Adam Sandler movies asked me if there will be more. Actually hoping there will be more lol.
Nope, despite feeling like a pilot episode to a show. Whatever it was, it was supposed to actually be a movie. The Razzies would love this but they seem to snub Netflix movies.… Expand

Rob needs to stop casting his wife in every movie.
Also, Munsters is best as a series. Rob should have created a limited series. Oh well....

This might be the worst movie I have ever seen. As a fan of the TV show, I was expecting some fairly good humor and comedy. However, I never laughed once.

As a fan of the TV show, I was expecting some fairly good humor and comedy. However, I never laughed once. The jokes were non existent, the characters looked fine for the most part, but the comedy didn't exist. It was like watching a train wreck. The only reason i give it a 1 is because the visuals were fairly okay. It still looked as if it was filmed with a point and shoot, but the backgrounds and colors were okay.… Expand
