Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
bilalameer-81663 Worst movie ever. Have never seen such meaningless picture.
Eddie Cantillo House at the End of the Street (2012) Starring:Jenifer Lawrence, Max Theriot, Elisabeth Sue, Eva Link, Nolan Gereard Funk, Allie Macdonald, Jordan Hayes, Kristia Bridges, and James Thomas Directed by Mark Tonderai Review FEAR REACHES.... FOR THE GIRL NEXT DOOR Hello Kiddies your pal the crypt-critic has a rip-off kind of horror film,that is literally like the other, I'll be saving your time by telling you this, It was psycho,it was legitimately psycho, there I just saved an hour and forty minutes of your time. Why do I do this? No wait, here's the better question do I keep finding pieces of shriek? Why, I don't get it well actually I know who's behind this it's that Netflix, they keep putting in bad movies on their instant que, yeah. But whatever screw it let's just get on with it. First off I don't even know why it's even called house at the end of the street cause it wasn't even at the end of a street it was in the middle of the dang woods. There was a psycho, a weed-whacker, and a dang rake. This film is awful and I mean incredibly awful, and it disappoint's me because I was actually intrigued by this film, I mean I'm a Jenifer Lawrence fan and it was nice to see Elsabeth Shue again, it seemed to have a dark premise and despite all the crap he's been in the past I was willing to give Max Theriot another chance cause I liked him on Bates Motel, but good GOD did I pay the price. This movie is not only an insulting rip-off of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Psycho, but it is ungodly boring I dang near fell asleep through about half this flick. This teenager named Alyssa played by Jenifer Lawrence moves into this new home with her mother played by Elisabeth Shue, she develops a relationship with this guy played by Max theriot, who still lives in the same house his sister massacred his parents years ago. And as the two of them get closer more unscary stuff happens and it ultimately turns out that the dude isn't what he seems. Wow I never would have guessed that. Since I would never in my right mind recommend this movie to anyone, I'm just going to spoil the ending for you because it was Psycho! It was literally Psycho, basically instead of killing his mommy or dressing up like mommy he's killing for his sister who he kept locked in the basement this whole time but wait there's more this film has to disguise the fact that it's a rip-off of psycho by telling us it wasn't his sister at all it was one of these other little girls that he was kidnapping and filling with blue contacts to look like his sister. Oh and there's also something about his sister dying on a swing set and his parents dressing him up like his sister when he was a kid and calling him Maryann and my GOD this movie is stupid! Jenifer Lawrence has made a good name for herself with films like X- MEN FIRST CLASS, X-men DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and that rip-of of battle royale(THE HUNGER GAMES) and it's far superior sequel. She is so much better then this, she was actually good in this but that's like saying she was the sparkly piece of corn in a giant Ball of shriek. Max Theriot is a horrendous actor( who should stick to television, he's better at it.) I think he was worse in this then he was in my soul to take which I don't even know how that's possible, then we go on to Elisabeth Shue, who is fine in the movie but is just wasted. The story is assigning, the characters even ones played by good actors are a joke and it's very boring and un-scary. The only scares are jump scares and they don't even happen during scary moments. The value just gets jacked up randomly now and then, I don't get it, I don't get how can someone make a film like this and expect people to be scared by it, but you know what I'll tell you this much the fact that Resident Evil:Retribution is better then this scares the living shriek out of me. This movie blows. I'm giving it one star out of five.
GL84 Moving into a new house, a teen and her mom meet the lone survivor of a massacre still living in his old house and after ignoring her early warnings to stay away she decides to help him only to stumble across a deadly secret he's harboring in the house.Overall this one here is quite a bland and unworthwhile horror/thriller. For the most part this one is really undone by the fact that hardly anything at all even occurs in this one for the majority of its running time. As the majority of this one centers heavily on the family drama between the two, from the mother's worry about her daughter's troubling-to-her behavior and the daughter's worry about trying to uncover the secret of his lonely and horrific past, this bland narrative stalls the film almost immediately by not only running such a clichéd and unappealing piece but doing it so that there's an incentive here to wind through these pieces solely for the benefit of the target audience only. It's simply augmented only to make her the center of attention the whole time and make you side with her despite her mom being the clear-cut voice of reason and sanity, yet this one makes her out otherwise merely to feature her as often as possible. This results in plenty of lame non-horror thriller moments merely to try to make her seem as good-natured as possible rather than try to do anything with that storyline and it just feels too safe and clichéd enforcing these stereotypes. As well, that cuts into the action so drastically with these absolutely banal and lame set-ups that there's very little action that would be considered enjoyable, featuring such wasted moments as the girl home alone in her house after the first escape and the attempted attack on the couple in the car which are both interrupted before either actually gets into big stalking territory which is a big missed opportunity to actually feature something of interest during the overlong and excruciating setup. That also manages to hold itself back from the actual blood-and-gore set-up here with an absolutely minimal amount of bloody kills or gore, and it just all adds together into the film's overall watered-down feeling. While these here hold it down, it does have enough good stuff here to make it somewhat watchable which is almost solely based on the final half- house here which is quite fun. Once it's full twist is finally unleashed and given out, there's a lot of fun here with him holding her captive and tied up in the house as it then turns into a somewhat enjoyable series of escape and recaptures that do get a little old but still have some solid action throughout. The big battles down in the basement hiding room and then later on in the garage where there's plenty of good fun to be had with these few scenes offering up some rather enjoyable stalking. As well, the opening rampage does have some solid work for it with the basic elements of a stalking slasher working in quite fun ways Although these here are where it works, there's still some problems here.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.
fedor8 I've played this game far too often. "Describe an idiotic thriller in yet another review about an idiotic thriller" is a game I'm tired of playing. Here's a disjointed list of most of the dumb things.1. The killer is immune to bullets. 2. Shue is immune to deep stab wounds to the abdominal region. 3. The killer is a martial arts expert – just because he was dressed up as a girl during childhood. 4. The sheriff-was-the-boyfriend plot-twist is a hoot. 5. The killer's childhood story is an even bigger hoot: kind of like a parody of "Psycho", with crack cocaine thrown in for bad measure. 6. The utter confusion regarding who was sneaking up behind trees, staring at Lawrence. 7. The over-kill overboard mega-cliché teen-movie scene in which the killer gets beaten up by a bunch of hormonal jocks. 8. Why does the killer keep leaving the key on the door, when the captive woman managed to escape several times already using that same key? 9. Do regular injections turn every kidnapped girl into a mindless zombie? 10. Did the writer have a lobotomy or was he born that way? 11. The less said about the various teen-movie clichés, the better.
