There is no monster in the crumbling relic that is the title character; instead the house itself is the monster.

It has funny, fantastic dialogue, cool animation, twisted witty and clever jokes every other minute.

A great cast of characters make Monster House a fun movie for the whole family.

However, parents of sensitive younger kids might want to avoid it. Intense at times, but a definite see.

Here's a nice twist. A computer animated film that isn't about talking cars, bugs, or furry forest creatures.

Monster House is a well written, character-driven coming-of-age story that is scary, funny, and entertaining for both children and adults.

Monster House has an amazing look.

It uses the new procedure of filmmaking called motion capture animation where real actors are filmed in special suits and an entire world is built around their movements.

I liked this story and the many characters. You really get enthralled with the whole thing and forget you are watching something animated.

The movie has comedy, drama, frights, and spills. It moves around between sets, and the electronic actors push the picture into a league all its own.
