If you loved City of Ember, try Monster House
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Gil Kenan, and they sit in Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to City of Ember, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Monster House is
Suburban street, autumn leaves, creaking porch. A creepy house looms, three teens dare to approach, secrets waiting inside. This animated tale is best watched on a lazy afternoon with kids.
