Review of House at the End of the Street (2012) by Patrick L — 26 Aug 2013

Few movies have provoked the reactions I had to this one and that I stopped frequently to write my review of it as the movie crept along.

The House at the end of the Street is a poorly designed and uncreative dvd for a largely unworthy movie and there is more creativity in the design of the film companies' credits than in the gory, unimaginative story line and I am barely 5 minutes into the film, having stopped to register my disgust and disappointment. 0/10 so far.

Jennifer Lawrence is initially pretty to look upon as she plays a guitar while waiting with another woman.

It seems she is a character younger than she looks and her blouse is as distracting as her face, her facial expressions come to be. 1/10. There are annoying visual references to "woman", the word flashed on screen whenever the mother/guardian speaks. A really low budget film?

Really dumb is that the older woman is up at 3am, awoken by sounds, she sees a light turn on in a nearby abandoned(?) house and doesn't seem concerned and doesn't get up to ensure her daughter(?) is still in the home.

Terrible dialogue and wooden characterizations pull this train wreck of a movie along. 0/10 One of the worst films of all time. The smartest thing in this film is how the young woman smartly handles a stranger who offers her a lift home though he catches her lying more than once. When.

Rain starts pouring down she runs up to the car and gets in. 0/10.

She blurts out the most idiotic line so far in this film, "your parents got killed". The writer of this script hopefully has improved, otherwise they should try a new career. One of the redeeming qualities.

Of this film is of the young man who is taking care of his "sister" though she killed their parents and the tension between the young woman and her mom.

Eventually the young woman and the young guy are getting intimate. His "sister" escapes.

And he clumsily tells the young woman to leave; he chases his "sister", restrains and accidentally kills her. 0/10.

The young woman and her mom survive attacks by the young man who turns out to be deranged, kidnapping more than one woman as a replacement for the sister whose death he caused. A typically bad, sexist, sexual horror written and directed by men. 0/10.

This is perhaps the sloppiest review I've written and partly due to the misdirection within the film - the young man is seen to be good and looking after his killer sister but later it is revealed that he is actually the killer - letting his sister die through carelessness and then apparently killing his parents as well as abducting and possibly killing more than one female who is meant to be a replacement for his dead sister. Ultimately 0-1 out of 10 for this really bad directorial effort.
