Working from a story by all-around genre specialist Jonathan Mostow, director Mark Tonderai steers the story cleanly around its queasy hairpin turns, perversely toying with one of pop cinema's most cherished clichés: the audience's inculcated desire to side with the underdog.
Despite an intriguing setup, sharply drawn central characters and a lead performance from the luminous Jennifer Lawrence that elevates the material a few notches, House at the End of the Street is a by-the-book horror thriller that's low on scares and suspense.

This is not a horror movie, but a sensational psychological thriller. I watched this movie not knowing anything about it, and holy cow am I glad that I did. I can't believe this movie is rated so poorly in comparison to a film like 'It Follows' which I watched a few nights ago and thought was terribly wretched (It Follows was rated somewhere around 95% on this very site).
I am now overwhelmingly convinced that these movie websites' only real function is to act simply as a list of movies for people who don't know where to actually look, if they want to be pointed in the direction of an enjoyable film.
The House at the End of the Street was simply awesome. I'm not going to say much more than that, but if you haven't seen any previews or know anything about the story in this film; do yourself a favour and watch this immediately. The characters have depth, the acting is on point and the writers and producers of this movie deserve a huge pat on the back.

Esta es película sin dudas merece mejores valoraciones, si yo fuera un crítico le daría 100 puntos, la actuación de Jennifer Lawrence es excelente, y esto no es una película de terror, es una película de horror, así que no se confundan, esas dos palabras tienen un significado diferente.

A few old favourites – like the inconveniently wonky torch and the probably-not-quite-killed maniac – deliver the required jolts, but early promise dwindles to hokum.
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.
This is a terrible little movie even by the standards of the genre.
At a certain point this would-be shocker suddenly jerks into high gear and becomes a blatant, incompetent rip-off of "Psycho."
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.
Why on earth everyone is saying this movie ****? 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!

Jennifer Lawrence has this incredible pull that attracts us to the screen almost instantly, regardless of what mess is brewing. No, this film is not perfection--but we're thrilled nonetheless.
Report
A half-decent thriller/teenage horror movie. The story is okay, the acting is okay, not many "screamers" - thanks for that. Won't watch it if not Jennifer Lawrence.

"House at the End of the Street" 10 Scale Rating: 3.0 (Awful) ...
The Good: The two young leads (Jennifer Lawrence and Max Theriot) try their best to make this work and I have no complaints about either of them. The first twenty minutes are solid and set up the movie well ...
The Bad: ... but then it falls flat. This is quite possibly the most boring "thriller" that I have ever seen. Next to nothing happens for the bulk of it and by the time something finally does, you no longer care. The pay off is a let down and what is really happening isn't all that imaginative or plausible.
