***An icheckmovies Listed Movie Review***
Little DJ has suspicions about the house across the street and the cranky old man who lives there. Unfortunately, as he, his friend Chowder, and a candy-selling prep-school girl named Jenny discover, the house itself has plans--plans that include eating all the kids who'll be trick-or-treating that Halloween night! In order to stop it and save the neighborhood, They'll have to unravel the mystery of the house and destroy it, but first they'll have to go inside...
Monster House is darker than I thought it would be. One Halloween night long ago, a woman who was extra possessive of her new home, tried to axe some kids who egged her, fell in the foundation and was covered in cement. She died in that house and became it. Now every Halloween since, she comes alive and tries to eat people for sustenance. They blow it up with dynamite. It is a not a children's movie.
And the crazy old man who was always yelling at you to "get off his lawn," yeah, he was probably protecting you. I'll never look at crazy old men the same way. (He didn't have to break that little girls tricycle though.)
I laughed and enjoyed Monster House a bit more than I thought I would. The animation looked a bit weird, but the story was alright and the jokes landed successfully.
Out of Ten? 7.5
Violence? No
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? No
Own and love this movie! It's a kids movie... just you know, older kids. Like me.
