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.

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.

The Playlist

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

Rated: B-

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.

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

[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]

I don't feel Rob Zombie work I mean he's a good horror filmmaker in the firefly trilogy but this looks cheap the jokes and dialog are bad and horrible and the writing is cringe but the make-up and costume design looks great.

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!!

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

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!
