Definitely the best film in the era of motion capture, 'Monster House' uses its techniques to its advantage to create a fittingly funny yet uncomfortable atmosphere. One of the only kids' horror films that works as a horror film.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Chowder al ver el cadaver enterrado de Constance - "Barbacoa de g0rd@" Para la barbacoa hay un método de cocción prehispánico que consiste en formar un hoyo en la tierra, calentarlo con brasas de leña y colocar piedras para cocinar a altas temperaturas. Sobre éstas piedras se ponían las carnes que habían de cocerse, envueltas con hojas de plátano o maguey dependiendo de la región. Para finalizar ésta preparación las carnes envueltas con hojas eran enterradas bajo tierra y se dejaban cocinar por largas horas. Por lo tanto: Chiste gordofobico: Sí Chiste fuera de lugar y sin gracia: Para nada

Set on Halloween, the script is original and nicely creepy, even when the boys are joined by a redhead named Jenny.

here the setting is unambiguously autumnal, in what is possibly cinema's first (and only) opening 'single-take' sequence focalised entirely through a deciduous leaf.

For reasons unknown, Sony Pictures decided to release this perfectly Halloween-themed children's film in the middle of June.
