Film Reviews by Redwing65

The humour in the original tv series derives from the interaction between the bizarre Munsters’ world and the “normal” fairly straight laced, comfortable world of the American suburbs. 95% of this film is stuck firmly in the Munsters own world showing basically how the family came to be and ends with the move to America and purchase of their rundown and recognisable spooky mansion. This is not really funny. For me the subject matter is too weak for this treatment and I don’t really care about their origins. The film drags and only briefly comes to life during a trip to Paris later on, where they are out in the open - as it were. The script is poor and I feel the cast, that includes Zombie regulars, is wasted. The sets are garish, set pieces dull and by the end I really felt I had wasted a portion of my life unnecessarily. Terribly disappointing.
