Ultimately, The Munsters is not a good movie. But it is great fodder to put on in the background of a Halloween party. It is best when used as a visual asset; something you may only want to catch a couple of minutes of dialogue from, but otherwise, it’s best left as background imagery.

Lily, a 150-year-old lovelorn vampire, finds love at first shock when she lays eyes on Herman, a 7-foot-tall green experiment with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, Lily's father has other plans for his beloved daughter's future, and they don't involve her new bumbling beau.

What are critics saying?
What a baffling, misguided film.
As a love letter to the sitcom that so inspired Zombie as a child, The Munsters might be the most authentic-feeling television revival ever put on film, warts and all.
The Munsters is a wholesome labor of love that’s probably for the most diehard sitcom fans because for better and worse, Rob Zombie makes the Munsters reboot he wants to see.
RogerEbert.com by Scout Tafoya
A completely innocent, at times screamingly funny movie that’s mostly about an idealized world made of '60s cultural icons, a slicing of reality’s fabric so we might step directly into Zombie’s visions of his past sitting in front of the TV.
Zombie’s film, though clearly sweet and well-intentioned, seems only partially formed, a Frankenstein monster with only half the parts.
