Our assessment:
With an all-new forged, that is one thing of an ‘origin’ film, opening with the household dwelling in Transylvania however rising bored with the native peasants attacking their fort (the portrayal of Romanians right here is as primary because the portrayal of the English in Munster, Go Home!), resolve to go off to America, considering that Cousin Marilyn (Christine Taylor) has invited them over.

These opening scenes trace at a relatively darker model of the Munsters – there is no such thing as a doubt that they’ve been killing the locals, both to produce Herman (Edward Herrmann, appropriately!) with physique elements or to produce blood for Grandpa (Robert Morse). There positively appears to be an Addams Household film affect in these scenes, with Lily  (Veronica Hamel) extra darkly glamorous and Eddie (Mathew Botuchis) extra feral.

Nevertheless, on their arrival within the USA, the movie takes a lighter tone, and as a substitute turns into a none-too-subtle, however surprisingly biting satire on immigration – or extra precisely, the demonising of immigrants by some politicians.

It seems that Marilyn’s invitation was to assist discover her father and Herman’s brother-in-law, Norman Hyde (Max Grodenchik), who has mysteriously disappeared. On the identical time, the household discover themselves a goal for populist right-wing politician Brent Jekyll (Jeff Trachta), who’s working on a ‘ship ‘em again the place they got here from’ ticket. Until you don’t have any data of horror characters, you possibly can in all probability see the place that is going…

The political subtext of the movie is relatively sudden, and relatively welcome in a movie like this, even whether it is laid on a bit thick – each pleasant particular person the household meets is a foreigner, each dreadful particular person a born and bred American, and naturally, the Munsters themselves characterize each immigrant attempting to get by in a brand new nation.

In fact, it’s a must to get used to a brand new forged taking part in the acquainted household, however that’s much less of a problem than you may count on – everybody matches the roles properly, and the movie pays a pleasant tribute to the unique forged by having Yvonne De Carlo, Al Lewis, Butch Patrick and Pat Priest make a cameo look (Fred Gwynne had died two years earlier).

The supporting forged consists of cult favorite Mary Woronov, and the path by actor Robert Ginty – The Exterminator himself! – is strong, if unflashy. The result’s a movie that’s much more pleasant than it has any proper to be and a worthy addition to the Munsters legacy.
