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.

What to Know

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.

Anton Bitel Little White Lies 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. Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Carlos Aguilar The Playlist Packs substantial hilarity because it surrenders to the silliness of the concept without including anachronisms or attempts at sophistication. Rated: B- Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety “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. Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Rosalie Kicks MovieJawn Don’t listen to the haters, THE MUNSTERS is fangtastic! Rated: 2.75/4 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz 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. Rated: 3/5 May 26, 2023 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof [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.

Audience Member This is my favourite Rob Zombie films yet! And I am a solid fan for the past 20 years. Don’t listen to the haters they don't understand the irony in the humour and the genre itself. Such a great tribute to the Munsters!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review John M It's no Addams Family values But it's clear it sticks to the same daft 60s serial sitcom nonsense of the original right up to the dodgy make up and cheap SFX which I think was deliberate. The story is lacking but the actors nail their characters. It's not very good really. Just watch the original TV series Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Sarah A Loved it! Original Munsters fans will delight at this creative, zaney and spooky pre-cursor story to the family we all know and love. Many funny parts, and an A+ cast, Rob Zombie made a real gem with this one. This one will be on repeat forsure this October! (Watched for the first time a few days ago and already have re-watched several times since!) The original series and actors will forever be my favorite, but if you treat this film as the artsy, kooky, Zombie-styled movie it was meant to be, you’ll enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Chris O The worst movie ever made. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Brian M This is the one Rob Zombie movie where everyone should have died at the end. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Jonah K this movie is exactly what it wanted to be. high quality low quality, if that makes sense. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
