    The house at the end of the street is the most emotional, powerful, moving cinematic piece. This film needs a nomination for Best Picture and may I go to say Best Film Of The Decade, my grandma even said that it deserves a Best Picture Ever sticker, I mean its that good. Go and see it NOW.....please

    Why on earth everyone is saying this movie sucks? The movie starts the Hunger Games' amazing Jennifer Lawrence, the movie really surprised me by being a very good movie, I really truly deeply enjoyed it, it is more Romance-Thriller than being Thriller-Horror, very good, well done! Although there is some problems about it, but still great!

    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.

    Utterly incompetent psychological thriller.

    At a certain point this would-be shocker suddenly jerks into high gear and becomes a blatant, incompetent rip-off of "Psycho."
