House at the End of the Street (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy)

This is such a great suspense movie to the very end. From the cover of this movie, I thought this must be a scary movie. So I was expecting scary things to happen, but to my surprise this is a thriller movie with twist and turns until you reach the very end and you are like "wow," I was not expecting that, which explained everything that happened at the beginning of the movie.Max Thieriot is such a great actor. He has done so many good movies and shows since he was a kid. He was in The Pacifier, The Astronaunt Farmer, Catch That Kid, but his best performances were The Bates Motel and this movie. He was so convincing in this movie as a respectful young man who is caring and kind. Jennifer Lawrence as we all know from The Hunger Games movies did a pretty good job, but she could have done a better job at making her character even more romantic with Max's character. Max did great at showing his feelings towards Jennifer's character.This movie has some romance, suspense, thrills, mystery, etc. The movie keeps your attention at all times because you feel emotions for each character and at the same time you keeping thinking what is happening and what will happen next. You enjoy the romance being built up between the two main characters, you get angry at the mother's over protection of her daughter and the way the teenagers/town is mistreating this kind young man. You get scare each time that someone might get hurt. Of course the best feeling is when you understand why things happened the way they did by the time you get to the end. Great story telling that was easy to understand and makes you go wow at the end.

Be you woman, or be you man (like me!), it's hard not to be jealous of Jennifer Lawrence. So perfectly beautiful, down-to-earth, pumping out top notch performances at such a young age...and now she goes and proves she can be as good a scream queen as the rest of them in this surprisingly original chiller that saves its dagger twist ending for the very last shot. It opens with a double kill scene where two very parental adults get killed by a little girl with a hammer and a lot of rage going on. It's four years later and Elissa (Lawrence) is moving with her mom into a beautiful house that goes cheap because next door is the one where that crazy little girl went on a spree. The official story is that the girl was Carrie Ann and she killed her parents. Her body was never found. Some say she drowned out by the dam. Oh, and she's survived by her brother, Ryan (Hangdog Max Thieriot), who's LIVING IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW! And when his light goes on at 3 am it makes a noise that only the audience and Elisabeth Shue can hear. Did I mention Elisabeth Shue is in this movie as Elissa's mom Sarah? So cool.Any way, Elissa is one to really go for the underdog, and when she sees everybody, from local bully Tyler (Nolan Gerard Funk) to Elissa's own mom picking on him, beating on him, making him feel like an outcast, well, daring Elissa practically serves herself to Ryan on a plate...but he shoves her out of the house all of a sudden.Well, we know why. Because, see, Carrie Ann didn't drown. He's got her locked in his cellar. All this serves to make him even more sympathetic. We even learn that he blames himself for the brain damage she received as a child when she fell from a swing set. And see, that night, when Elissa was all hot to trot, Carrie Ann had cunningly procured the key and escaped her basement cell... and Carrie Ann's a dangerous murderer, right?Oh, you've only just begun to learn the sick story. This is a great movie, folks! Enjoy!

Dvd had a few skips :(

Any movie that Jennifer Lawrence is in is a good movie. It's not really a horror movie but more of a thriller. When you think you have it figured out you don't and it keeps you guessing. It's well worth watching and a good addition to my movie collection.

THE STORYLINE TOOK A HUGE (UNEXPECTED) TURN ABOUT 1/2 WAY THROUGH. SCARY AS HELL.

(Warning: contains some spoilers) Take a little Psycho, a little Sleepaway Camp, a little Halloween, and you have a lot of this movie. For those familiar with the horror genre, the first 20 minutes pretty much let you know how the story is going to end. I will say that the first half of the movie does a good job of creating a creepy, unsettling feeling (thanks to the camera work), but at about the one hour mark, things considerably lose steam...I couldn't believe that there were 40 minutes left. One of the issues is that in most movies where there's a "big reveal" it's saved for the very end. This movie gradually lets the viewer in on the mystery in a way that kills whatever suspense was established during those very decent first 60 minutes. I'm purposely being vague because I don't want to give too much away, but the fact is there aren't many directions for the bare bones storyline to take. Mother and teenage daughter are looking to start a new life...move into a new house...patricide occurred in the house next door...body of murderer never found...brother of murderer/son of murdered still living in the same creepy house in which his parents were killed...teenage daughgter falls for this ostracized, sensitive young man who is keeping a secret from her which the audience is let in on. This is all laid out in about the first half hour. There are some twists, but as I said they occur well before the movie ends. Another problem, in terms of creating an excess of mystery, is that the movie involves very few characters: Jennifer Lawrence as the teenage daughter, Elisabeth Shue as her mother, and Max Thierot as Ryan the troubled boy next door share probably 90% of the total dialogue and camera time. A good horror movie is hard to find lately and this isn't a bad one; it's just not a very original one. There's even a friendly, small-town stock police character so brilliantly satirized in Scream. Maybe all of the good ideas have been taken. The movie was clearly made for a teenage audience and if you haven't seen many other horror movies, you may feel it holds more suspense than I did. There's no getting around how basic the storyline is, but considering that, the acting is good and particularly during the first half of the film there are some unnerving shots (not really any gore...definitely PG-13).

Geschmackssache.. Ich habe ihn schon mehrfach geschaut und wollte ihn nur meiner Sammlung hinzufügen..

Le film DVD était bon

Have to be honest and say I am yet to watch this film, however, it arrived on time, well packaged, wrapped and sealed and and bang on time. Have no reason to believe there will be any issue.....
