The spooky shadows and eerie creaking of a rickety old house are brought to life via lush CGI in Monster House. A young boy named DJ has suspicions about the house across the street and the cranky old man (voiced by Steve Buscemi, Fargo) who lives there. When the old man has a heart attack and is carried away by an ambulance, DJ thinks the danger is over. 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. Monster House begins with some deliciously creepy scenes that will send chills down children's spines (and may be too intense for younger viewers); animated movies rarely make such effective use of what isn't being shown. The animation is vivid and detailed (though CGI still has a ways to go in capturing the full range of human facial expressions). But like most horror movies, the anticipation of horror is much more exciting than the horror itself; as the secrets of Monster House are revealed, the movie's thrills unravel. The noisy explosions at the end aren't half as much fun as the slow twitches of a few blades of grass in the movie's elegant beginning. --Bret Fetzer More Monster House on Amazon.com

Monster House Movie Review November 1, 2009
Grady Yandell (Moore, OK USA)
This is a funny movie, but it does have its scary moments. My daughter was 9 years old the first time she watched it and was surprised at how scary it is. We both liked it. There is enough adult humor to make this a good family movie.

Steve Morgan (Las Vegas, NV United States)
Great movie...my kid loves it almost as much as me since she was 3 years old. A little scary but OK with dad there., and it's a cartoon. The kids kinda remind me of myself at that age.
good September 12, 2009
Maria Garcia (Roseville, CA)
The DVD was in good condition, arrived very promptly, and there were no problems viewing the movie. Thank you for a great deal!
 Surprisingly inappropriate for kids July 13, 2009

I found the underlying premise of the film (involving the old man's carnie wife) extremely offensive and exactly the opposite of the kind of morals I want my kids to learn. Shame on you Stephen Speilberg for producing such a bad example. You can be scary and fun without picking on people.

This DVD was in excellent condition and it arrived in a timely manner. I would definitely buy from this seller again. The movie was clear and I encountered absolutely no problems. Thanks again.
