    Better than expected

    This is an above average horror movie.

    First the good points: The cast is A list - after all 2 Oscar winning actresses as daughter and mother - Jennifer Lawrence and Elisabeth Shue (who hasn't aged much). Max Thieriot (now of Bates Motel) is their next door neighbour who lives in a house where his parents were murdered. The acting is good and there is some build up of sympathy with the characters in the story.

    It's not supernatural so it's not too implausible. Doesn't have too many shock tactics. I'm kind of sick of the recent supernatural horrors with Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz and the one with Katie Holmes and Bailee Madison. It's not too slasher like too. No violence that doesn't advance the plot.

    It's got some faults: Firstly the closeup photography is a bit too close up. Can't see the whole face. A bit jerky too.

    There is a twist of course which is not totally unpredictable.

    Overall kind of enjoyed it.

    Better than I expected

    I was a little bit skeptical about watching this movie and I came very close to not watching it. But, because I had a spare couple of hours with nothing better to do, I decided to give it a whirl.

    A lot of modern-day horror movies are made on a budget. The typical tell-tale signs which give them away is the use of poorly lit sets, very few filming locations and a very small cast of young and unknown actors. They like to follow the path of "The Blair Witch Project" and rely on heavy breathing to create the suspense. A pretty young lady starts to breathe heavily in the dark, something jumps out and gets her, right? Nowadays, this has become the norm and this is what we come to expect.

    Well, I'm pleased to say that "House at the End of the Street" is different and unique in its own right. Why? Because its actually got a storyline and it keeps you thinking! Just when you think you've figured it all out there's another clever twist that comes along and makes you think "Gee, why didn't I think of that". This is a movie which is always one step ahead of you! Also, the actors in this movie actually act. Don't get me wrong, it's not on the same page as an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but it is, nonetheless, very refreshing.

    "House at the End of the Street" turned out to be a little gem. I'm glad that I rented it.

    A decent teen-horror affair.

    When a teenager and her mother move to a little town, the girl finds out that an accident took place in the house at the end of the street. She ends up befriending the sole survivor of the accident.

    This film has its fair share of chilling moments and Lawrence often elevates the sub-par material... Along with Shue, the dynamic of these two actresses makes the majority of the film enjoyable. The film even has some unpredictable twists that it will even have you actively rooting for the villain and against the victims at one point.

    Although it's fairly routine, House at the End of the Street is what it is: a PG-13 scare-fest with more psychological terror than blood and guts, and should satisfy-not repulse-young genre fans and is smarter than most films of the genre, even with some fairly predictable plot turns.

    What a house!

    This movie was a pleasant surprise to me because I thought it was going to be more of a "horror" movie...I wouldn't call it that, I'd call it a terrific suspense thriller with good twists here and there. I liked the casting and the storyline. The actors did a good job, esp. the young college student male lead. This is a story that could have actually happened, imo. The music was a big part of the movie, too. Good soundtrack that, while I was aware of it, it did not take away from the scenes but built up my anxiety! It was like another character. Definitely worth seeing for all the right reasons. Very entertaining and kept my attention throughout. All this without "blood & guts" galore - made me think of the old Alfred Hitchcock-type thrillers that depended more on the viewer's anticipation and imagination. Lastly, I thought I had the plot figured out, but I was surprised at how wrong I was. Smiled on my way out of the theater.

    Not bad but not good either...

    I went to see HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET last night and didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. The story is dull and predictable and the acting isn't rocksolid!Jennifer Lawrence played her role well though, she "blows" everyone away in this movie BUT, on the other hand, and I don't want to sound too negative, this flick wasn't a very hard nut for her to crack!

    The story ;

    Elissa (Lawrence) moves into a new home together with her mom Sarah(Elisabeth Shue) and finds out that the son of a murdered couple, who lived next door, still lives in the house where his parents were killed. The surrounding neigbours complain about him and tell Elissa that the boy is bad news! She wants to find out herself though and steps into his life...

    It's a not a very bad movie but skip the theatre and wait for it on bluray/DVD.

    • Trivia
      Jennifer Lawrence does not actually sing in the movie - she's lip-syncing to session musician Sarah Rayne's voice. However, she did record her own version of one the songs, "All You've Gotta Do is Love", which was described as "not half-bad."

    • Quotes

      Elissa: Dawn? What are you doing up that early?

      Ryan: I sit out back and I write stuff. Like stories. You know, it's easy. I don't know, it's like - it's like at time of the day, because everyone's still asleep, all the best thoughts haven't been taken yet.

    • Alternate versions
      The PG-13 and Unrated versions of the movie include several notable differences, including a plot twist in the finale as well as some additional violence and blood in the Unrated cut. The changes add only a minimal amount of additional runtime.
