Monster House

What would you do if you found out that your neighbour’s house was really a living, breathing monster? Perhaps destroy the heart of the house in an attempt to kill it. That’s exactly what three teenagers do in the film Monster House. This one is on the scarier side of things so be sure to only watch if over the age of ten.
