    Random, sick, and creepy.

    Haha this movie creeped me out! It was a terrible, creepy, sad story, and there's a skeleton of a man's wife that he keeps in his basement in a cage or something. The kids find it and they're screaming so it's not like a silly dungeon scene. I saw this a few years ago. This scared me (I was probably like 10 when I saw it... I have a fear of skeletons...) and probably still would scare me... I know I'm not going to waste my time watching it again.

    Terrible, and terribly crude

    Oh honestly, could this movie get any worse? It was crude, and I didn't find it funny at all, let alone scary. This was one quote, (A girl walks in,) "Hey do you want a drink?" says a boy, "Did you pee in those bottles?" "Maybe" There are many more where that came from. Awful movie! I would never watch it. Just pick a different movie.

    More like Monster Nightmare.

    The movie is ok but the daft idea is the house being a monster. I went to the cinema to watched this and the movie gave me a nightmare for a day. Scary for kids under 8.

    a great animated horror movie designed for kids.

    this movie is scary and definetly was made for kids!!!! I mean when your a todler it dosent matter how not intense the horror movie is they just don' watch it but this was made for kids 8+. Although if your kids get scared very easily or is just not a very mature viewer and there 8 or younger (though i hope you don't let them see th movie if there younger than 8) then waych it with them so you can turn it off if it gets to intense (which it easily might)

    Depends on how easily scared you are.

    I don't like this movie cuz I just think the plot is kinda stupid. I mean, a house that's alive and eats things? That's kinda the same as saying my computer is gonna get up and start tap dancing. Other people might like it, but I wouldn't watch it with anyone under 10 or anyone scared easily.

    pretty bad horror movie.

    very iffy for 7.scarinees, drinking, bad role models, crude humor, some violence i think it is a boring movie, but it had at least some action. it would scare younger kids, and there is a little bit of violence. a person drinks beer, and throws it on someones lawn. the babysitters boyfriend is a bad role model, and the kids steal stuff and one uses a crane. some bathroom humor, kids pee in bottles.

    Iffy for 10-11 year olds

    This movie was pretty scary for some kids. A good thing in the movie was that it showed people working together and that boys and girls can be friends. I thought it was a scary movie.

    fine for tweens, not for younger kids

    I wouldn't want my son to see this if her were under 10. Luckily, he didn't ask questions about references to puberty and drinking and he didn't get the "get off" comment about the babysitter's boyfriend being "on top of her". Movie would have been just as good without these parts. I'll never understand why movie makers feel the need to include this stuff in kid's movies.

    Not for kids but the perfect animated horror flick for tweens. Monster House shows three young teenagers on a mission to uncover the secrets and horrors of old Nebbercrackers haunted house. Scary scenes and language prevent anyone younger than 9 really enjoy this movie.

    You should think twice before taking your child under 10

    I think that the previews were very deceiving to consumers. I would not have ever guessed that it would be so scary for my children. I talked to them a bit about it not being real and that it might be a little jumpy, but it was ridiculous, we walked out.

    Perfect for the little ones!

    this is the best movie EVER!!!!The only thing that kinda got me biting my nails is that they couldve made it a little more apropriate,like the babysitters boyfriend could use some improving.But really,the whole thing was great.Oh and by the way,why is everybody saying this was too scary?i think most kids arent really scared of stuff like that,but im from new york,so corret me if im wrong.

    hmm

    Did anybody not remeber when Cheddar, or Chowder or whatever says "vulva?" That deserves a PG-13 rating right there. Good entertainment witha valuable lesson, though
