Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs of 2018, this is the only motion capture film to feature an entirely original story and not be based on existing source material.
- GoofsWhen the dog which is 'eaten' by the house first appears, it squats to pee in the manner of a female dog. At the end of the movie, when it appears again, it hikes its leg up and pees as a male dog. The dog is referenced in the credits as "Kevin".
Correction: Male dogs are also known to squat in the manner of a female when they pee (quite commonly, in fact), so this is quite a possible thing.
- Crazy creditsThe little girl that was riding on her tricycle in the beginning of the movie can be heard humming again right at the end of the credits
- Alternate versionsTwo versions were released in theaters a standard format and a "REEL 3D" digital format
- ConnectionsEdited into Monster House (2006)
- SoundtracksA Little More Love

Featured review
I guess you could label this an "edgy animated film." It's certainly wasn't made with little kids in mind. If it was, that was a mistake because this a pretty scary film in parts - much to much for the little ones.
The "edginess" isn't just the violence (a Halloween-type scary house and the comes alive and attacks people), it's most of the characters. They are typical Hollywood-young people meaning they have "attitudes." They aren't exactly sweet, lovable people, except for the one young boy "D.J." (voiced by Mitchel Musso). The dialog on the kids - two boys, the babysitter and her boyfriend - make this more of a film for teens and younger adults. The "attitude" means wise-remarks and general obnoxiousness and rebellious attitudes. The worst in that attitude category is D.J.'s friend "Chowder," the kind of guy who talks you into doing things that wind up getting YOU in trouble.
The best part of the film, besides the animation, is the unpredictability of the story. You kept wondering what was going to happen next. That made the 91 minutes go by pretty fast. It's a simple story but very entertaining despite the not-so-great-role models and, as most pictures do, has a good message and a few heartwarming scenes at the end.
