I saw Monster House a long time ago but I remember liking it. Kind of twisted storyline but it had the kids on the edge of their seats. This is very... scary for little kids. My 5 yr old was freaked out by the house eating things but the older kids loved it. Full Review

Kenan directs with a zingy sense of kids, comedy, fright, and visual perspective. But the movie also shimmers and shakes in all its motion-capture animated beauty with the slyly deep sensibilities of executive producer Robert Zemeckis.Full Review

Has a return-to-innocence sweetness that recalls some of the work of another of its executive producers - Steven Spielberg. Kids may grow up too fast today to embrace the film's familiar message of the virtues of an unhurried adolescence, but it's nice to be reminded of the possibility.Full Review

Monster House may be the first true horror film for children.Full Review

USA Today

Director Gil Kenan has a feel for dizzying "camera" work, and the screenplay combines witty gags with a sweet, albeit familiar, suggestion that kids shouldn't be in any great hurry to be anything but kids.Full Review
