The movie “The House on th End of the Street” centers on Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence) and her mother Sarah (Elizabeth Shue.) They move to a small town for a fresh start. Before they are even finished unpacking, Elissa and her mother learn the terrifying secret behind the house next door. Years earlier, a daughter killed both her parents in the night and disappeared, leaving only her brother Ryan (Max Thieriot) as the sole survivor. Against Sarah’s wishes, Elissa begins developing a friendship with Ryan, who seems to be keeping secrets of his own.
The movie has one decent twist and the first 45 minutes or so are fairly interesting. Even though the actors share some good moments, they become stupid and the narrative becomes hopeless. The characters are so stupid you might be whispering, “Don’t open that door,” or “Don’t turn around,” or “You’re gonna die.”
This movie was long on dialogue and short on scares.
