MONSTER HOUSE [2006] review

The word on MOSTER HOUSE was that it was an entertaining movie for both kids and adults. So I was looking forward to this movie as I like haunted houses in the neighborhood storylines that are not also slasher films. However, I was soon disappointed. Hence my great delay in writing this review. I was turned off by the style of CGI animation used. I thought the environment looked great, but the kids themselves looked dead and clumsy. I didn’t care about any of them and they were all too cliched to make any impression.

There are a couple “twists” in the story I guess, which actually seemed kind of evil and maybe not really legal. The best scenes of the movie are all before they enter the house. After that, the movie loses its way.
