Review For House at the End of the Street |
A choppily edited, poorly timed mess with little continuity, overloaded with aural shocks in a desperate attempt to compensate for its minimal suspense. Stephen Holden-New York Times
Tonderai steers the story cleanly around its queasy hairpin turns, perversely toying with one of pop cinema's most cherished clichés: the audience's inculcated desire to side with the underdog. Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice
What could be so bad about a new Jennifer Lawrence movie that its distributor opts to keep it away from critics and release it with minimal ad support? Please, allow "House at the End of the Street" to answer that question. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
This is the rare horror film so bad you almost wish it had turned into a good old connect-the-gory-dots slasher movie. The only mystery at work is how Lawrence's agent ever let her sign on. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly
Originality, or lack thereof, isn't really the movie's problem. Execution is. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies
A schlockly spin on the girl-in-jeopardy genre. Geoff Berkshire-Variety
House at the End of the Street is nothing more than a lazily-written horror film that falls back on every cliche possible while failing to provide any scares in the process. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered
House at the End of the Street reveals itself to be merely another forgettable PG-13 thriller banking on the brain-dead mall crowd to tweet their unending love for a crummy feast such as this. Jeremy Wheeler-TV Guide's Movie Guide
The screenplay has a nice twist that could have supported a stylish giallo-style thriller; unfortunately, director Mark Tonderai delivers a mess -- an almost random tangle of choppy edits, handheld camera, 'shock' sound effects and other horror cliches. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Formulaic, unoriginal suspense thriller aided by a plot twist and good leads, that might delight the less-gore-is-more teenage audience. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
A routine 'Don't go down to the basement' thriller, but watching Jennifer Lawrence go through her paces makes it enjoyable. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
The filmmakers elect to emphasize every plot point and telegraph every plot twist with the delicacy of a train blaring its horn as it approaches a crossing -- and yet that isn't even their greatest sin. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Borrows so liberally from other movies that it could have been fascinating, but due to confused direction and a mishmash of acting, it's ultimately bland and forgettable. Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant
Lawrence is fine as the solo-parented teen and Thieriot does a mean Tony Perkins (circa Pretty Poison, but on downers), but the sheer tedium of the storyline means you never really care about any of them. Marc Savlov-Austin Chronicle
[T]he scariest thing about [this] is that this sort of junk is considered a good career move for a young actress who's just come off a small film from a respected indie director... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher
Saying that House at the End of the Street is contrived is an insult to contrivances. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Shockingly uneventful, this horror film marks time until dropping its big, dumb reveal. A.A. Dowd-Time Out New York
... Typical of modern horror movies, jump-scares (which are startling, not scary--there is a difference) sprinkled throughout deflate the suspense before it builds much. Greg Maki-Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)
Clearly designed as a downbeat, character-driven psychological thriller, not a shock machine...but it never really pays off, in part because it relies too often on the very clichés it aspires to avoid. Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International
Don't be tempted to put in an offer; this house is built on flimsy foundations. Dafydd Goff-Guardian [UK]
You've seen every twist and turn before and it's all played completely straight. A Scream-esque knowing wink would make it all far more palatable. Henry Northmore-The List
Its talented lead is reduced to being just another scantily clad babe getting stalked by a psycho. Neil Smith-Total Film
A "sleepover night" horror movie made for young people who haven't seen many good horror movies. Scott Weinberg-FEARnet
This is the type of run of the mill, cookie cutter, PG-13, piss poor excuse of a horror movie that horror fans always complain about over the internet. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
