MONSTER HOUSE
Horace Nebbercracker takes any toys that get on his lawn.
On the day before Halloween, the parents of DJ, who lives across the street go
on a trip, leaving him in the care of a punk babysitter nicknamed Zee. DJ
thinks Nebbercracker’s house is possessed and while trying to recover his best
friend Chowder’s basketball from the lawn, is grabbed by Nebbercracker. Nebbercracker
has an attack and is taken to the hospital. DJ later gets phone calls from the
empty house and Zee’s boyfriend Bones is eaten by the house. Later Chowder is
almost eaten. On October 31, 2006 [26:32 to 1:25:02] the boys save Jenny Bennet
from being eaten by the house while trying to sell Halloween candy
door-to-door. The police don’t believe their story about the house. Skull Skulinski, a video gamer tells them a
soul can possess a house and to get rid of it they must kill the heart. The
boys and Jenny decide to use a dummy to drug the house with cold medicine. They
are stopped by the cops, who get swallowed by the house. The kids, who were
locked into the squad car end up inside the house. They learn Nebbercracker was
a demolitions expert in the Army and had a very large wife named Constance.
They find her skeleton encased in cement in the basement. They are almost
captured by the house, but Jenny grabs the foyer chandelier, which is the
house’s uvula, and it spits them out. Nebbercracker comes home and they learn
how he met Constance at a circus. The couple started to build their house, but
in a scuffle with some kids on Halloween, Constance accidentally fell into some
fresh cement and died. Her soul merged with the house, which now hates kids and
Halloween. The house becomes mobile and chases after them. They lure it to a
construction site. Nebbercracker gives DJ some dynamite. Chowder uses a
bulldozer to lure the house closer. DJ climbs a very tall crane and after a
kiss from Jenny for luck, drops the dynamite down the chimney. The explosion
destroys the house and frees Constance’s spirit. The kids and Nebbercracker
give all the toys he had taken to the trick-or-treaters.
A funny and just scary enough
film. The 3d animation is fantastic. Good characters and a good plot make this
a special movie.
