It's too dark for the kiddies, while not having enough of an adult flavor to reach an older audience.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 4, 2008

The most troubling element of the film is its conclusion ... which comes to rather alarming conclusions about how to deal with a resentful social outcast.

Delivers the freaky/funny goods for audiences of all ages.

A plodding and unimaginative screenplay.

A cleverly conceived, kid-friendly horror flick with a lot going for it, mixing clever asides in a thrill-a-minute roller coaster ride on the way to a finale with a satisfying send-off.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 6, 2007

Monster House doesn't give specifics about when it takes place, but I swear it must be the '80's.
