Description
The movie "Monster House" is about a haunted house that is inhabited by human-like creatures. The movie is about three kids who try to fight back and protect their neighborhood.
MONSTER HOUSE is a feat of blockbusting filmmaking--a visually
stunning, witty tale that is sure to stimulate children and their
parents. The film focuses on an anthropomorphic mansion, a haunted
house with human characteristics that actively frightens
neighborhood folks as it attempts to reign over its inhabitants.
One day, a trio of intrepid youngsters, sick of being terrorized,
decide to fight back. They are cutely pubescent DJ Mitchel Musso;
his fumbling, chubby friend Chowder Sam Lerner; and
smart-as-a-whip tomboy Jenny Spencer Locke, who immediately
enchants the awkward boys. The local police are no help, so DJ,
Chowder, and Jenny are left to their own clever devices, which
result in a series of rollicking, hilarious, and sometimes scary
adventures. A cast of colorful personalities surrounds the central
characters, and they are voiced by luminaries who include Catherine
O'Hara, Kevin James, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kathleen Turner, Steve
Buscemi, and the brilliant Fred Willard. And teen hipsters will
delight in hearing the droll voice of Jon Heder the title
character of cult hit NAPOLEON DYNAMITE as a deadbeat pizza maker
nicknamed Skull. First-time director Gil Kenan proves spirited
and highly adept at mastering such a high-tech production, and
followers of animation will want to pay attention to the use of new
digital techniques that stray away from straightforward computer
drawing. MONSTER HOUSE is executive produced by Robert Zemeckis,
who helmed the innovative and sophisticated animated feature WHO
FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? in 1988. He once again proves that family fare
need not be alienating to older viewers, but can appeal to on every
level from childhood and upward.
