Lily is a typical 150-year-old lovelorn vampire who's looking for the man of her nightmares -- until she lays her eyes on Herman, a 7-foot-tall green experiment with a heart of gold. It's love at first shock as these two ghouls fall fangs over feet for each other in a Transylvanian romance. Unfortunately, it's not all smooth sailing in the cemetery as Lily's father has other plans for his beloved daughter's future, and they don't involve her new bumbling beau.

Critics Consensus

The Rob Zombified Munsters revival shows clear affection for the source material, but it never translates into a compelling update on the classic series.

Audience Says

Without funny jokes or even a story that goes anywhere interesting, this Munsters movie is a major waste of time.

Zombie has sent a love letter not just to a near-forgotten TV series, but to his own wife, refashioning the original Munsters as their own freakish love story in a conservative America whose values they parody.

B-

Packs substantial hilarity because it surrenders to the silliness of the concept without including anachronisms or attempts at sophistication.

“The Munsters,” the family-of-ghouls ’60s sitcom that Zombie is adapting, was such a ticky-tacky piece of gothic bat-house surrealism that the movie, broad and slovenly as it is, works more than it doesn’t.

If you're a grown up with ridiculously fond memories of the TV show... Or, if you have a couple of under 12s running around the house with a taste for costumes, high camp and the innocently macabre, then The Munsters might be a treat.

[Rob Zombie] has recovered the charm of the original to present a personal and respectful vision that wants to encapsulate the spirit of his legacy. [Full review in Spanish]

15 minutes in was enough for me. I would rather watch Ishtar twice and try to read the credits written in Korean. If you're looking for a classic Rob Zombie movie, this isn't it. It's like trying to look at a black light poster without a black light, looked cool at first but had nothing interesting about it

Visually cool but the story went nowhere. Seemed like a feature length trailer

Fantastic remake! I absolutely loved this movie! It felt true to the original characters. Loved the way it was shot with the vibrant colors. I wish other filmmakers made remakes like this. It was fresh and new but felt familiar at the same time.

"The Munsters" (2022) is a delightful deviation from Rob Zombie's usual grim palette, presenting a whimsical and lighthearted family movie that charms with its vibrant reinterpretation of the classic series. While it lacks the dark tones typically associated with Zombie's work, this film serves as an affectionate homage to the original "The Munsters," capturing its quirky spirit and humor. However, its deep-rooted nostalgia and faithful nods to the source material might resonate most with fans of the original series, making its effectiveness potentially less impactful on audiences unfamiliar with the show. Personally, I found it thoroughly enjoyable and a heartfelt tribute.

I did not enjoy this movie. It didn't even come close to being as good as the original TV show. But it was nice to see Sylvester McCoy of Doctor Who in this movie.
