Nick Pinkerton

Working from a story by all-around genre specialist Jonathan Mostow, director Mark 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. Read full review

This PG-13 scare-fest is more psychological terror than blood and guts, and should satisfy-not repulse-young genre fans. Read full review

Sara Stewart

Yes, there are the requisite jump-in-your-seat scares, many of them false alarms, and it all plays out basically exactly like any other horror movie, but Lawrence does elevate the proceedings. Read full review

Mark Jenkins

Sep 21, 2012

Most of the comedy, however, is unintentional. House At The End of the Street may not draw much of an audience during its initial run, but the movie's preposterousness certifies it for future midnight screenings, where the story will get the jeering it deserves. Read full review

Exploiting Lawrence's newfound fame is the only hope this ill-conceived, poorly executed venture has of connecting with audiences before poisonous word of mouth sends potential buyers in search of a more attractive address. Read full review

The film is essentially toothless, but it never stoops to humorless torture-porn theatrics. Read full review

Shue, to her credit, looks like she's trying to crawl out of her skin, but hey, anything to get away from this hell house, right? Right. Read full review

The house at the end of the street is the most emotional, powerful, moving cinematic piece.

i don't think that this film should have so many bad reviews. It is interesting and it has a great plot. Jennifer Lawrence and Max Theriot are not something spectacular but the result of the film is.

The film is hard to see ... Wing time is predictable but unpredictable. The film is to see it once and forget about it.

The only quality in this movie is the acting, but House at the End of the Street has nothing to do with horror, it is more of a Romantic Thriller, as a movie, it isn't bad it is mediocre, is HATES unwatchable? No, but you better spent your time on something else, good idea.
