Monster House (DVD) ... 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

It might look more cartoony and animated than Cars but it's hand drawn innocent appearance has much more appeal than Cars' over drawn, over polished and frankly over thought illustration methods. This film uses a new technique which has only been used in The Polar Express, which is known as performance capture. This is an improvement on motion c...more

Crowned Review It's a Briiiick House (1102 words)

It’s an age old question that has plagued man even since they crawled out of the ooze; how do you introduce kids to the horror genre? We know that their minds are very impressionable during their development; to the point were some children are scared to watch Paul Daniels (and rightly so). Do you go the route I did and watch something like ‘Nightmare on Elmstreet’ or ‘Critters’ before you are ten? I survived, but it’s given me an obscure taste in film! Seriously though, with films becoming increasingly scary, at a lower certificate, do children need to be prepared? The Lord of the Rings trilogy or ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest’ were all dark, but only ...
