I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2022 CHALLENGE
WEEK 38: A MOVIE STARRING A CHILD
Description: Three kids
discover that their neighbor’s house is really a living, breathing, scary
monster.
Review: Right across
the street of young DJ’s house, is the old, run-down house of Mr.
Nebbercracker. Nebbercracker is a grumpy man who always takes kids toys that
end up on his lawn, never to return them to the owner. The night before
Halloween, he and his friend Chowder play basketball and the ball ends up on
Nebbercracker’s lawn. As usual, he takes it from them, but this time
Nebbercracker collapses and ends up being taken away with an ambulance. But even
without Nebbercracker being home, the house doesn’t seem empty. Or is it the
house that’s alive?
“Monster House” uses the performance capture
technique, just like “The Polar Express” did. There the character looked very
realistic. In “Monster House” not so much. But nevertheless, it’s a very
enjoyable film to watch, for the entire family during spooky season. It’s somehow
a family-friendly take on the haunted house trope.
