The House at the End of the Street starts off as a very promising film. Jennifer Lawrence stars and is as fun to watch on screen as any actress right now. Her chemistry with Max Thieriot and Elizabeth Shue is fantastic, and all three portray very likeable characters. Unfortunately, most of the other characters in the movie are not likeable at all. The first two thirds of the movie are very taut and suspenseful. Unfortunately the suspense is not upheld once the climax is reached. The story devolves into a series of cliches and predictable actions. If the tone and quality of the first two acts of this film had been upheld throughout the whole movie, this movie would have been very, very, good. But this film, despite its good cast and high production value, falls into mediocrity.
Scares: 7/10
Overall: 6/10
