Washington PostMark JenkinsSep 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

Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenSep 21, 2012
Lawrence's natural, disarming screen presence is ill-suited to something as mannered and labored as House at the End of the Street, and at moments it's as if she freezes up, unable to simply throw on a scared-face for no good reason. Read full review

VarietyGeoff BerkshireSep 21, 2012
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

The New York TimesStephen HoldenSep 22, 2012
At a certain point this would-be shocker suddenly jerks into high gear and becomes a blatant, incompetent rip-off of "Psycho." Read full review

We assure you, it's not worth taking a trip to down to the House at the End of the Street. Something horrible might have happened there, but it can't be worse than this movie. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanSep 21, 2012
This is the rare horror film so bad that 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 to this. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovSep 26, 2012
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
