Cloddish rather than clever.

The Monster Squad is an enchanting cinematic experience, brimming with nostalgia and punctuated by unforgettable one-liners.

Thanks to Stan Winston's monster designs, what could have been a largely schlocky endeavor gains moderate gravity, particularly with a werewolf transformation sequence.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 6, 2020

A hybrid and indecisive film. [Full Review in Spanish]

This film really has everything you could want from a light-hearted eighties horror flick. It is witty, it has great practical effects, the storyline is very original, and it appeals to people of all ages.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Nov 3, 2018

With the right attitude, tone and respect for the characters, a team-up monster movie can be fun, exciting and stand the test of time. The Monster Squad is proof.

Squad's gleeful monster mash anticipates bloated CGI orgies like Van Helsing, which likely cost a hundred times as much, yet boasts a hundredth of Squad's scrappy, ramshackle charm.

"The Monster Squad" is such fun, it makes you wish you were a kid again.

Goofy monster mash with a touch of negative 'tude.

Neither scary nor particularly funny.

For a movie so aesthetically on the ball, it's a shame the screenplay is not the least bit industrious.

It can be a bit scary for the youngest of viewers, but it's a fun ride nonetheless, for new and old fans alike.

I'm sure all the Monster Squad enthusiasts will be absolutely thrilled with the package Lionsgate has put together here.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 6, 2007

...a high-concept premise that is, for the most part, employed to persistently underwhelming and uninvolving effect...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 4, 2007

A silly, half-baked amalgam of The Goonies and Ghostbusters.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 2, 2007

Remains a true horror classic for nearly twenty years because it reaches down deep in to horror fans desires...
