House At The End Of The Street (2012) 5/10

Starring : Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thierot, Elisabeth Shue, Gil Bellows, Eva Link
Director : Mark Tonderai
Running Time : 102 mins

When Sarah Cassidy (Shue) and her daughter Elissa (Lawrence) move to a new town, they discover that the boy next door, Ryan Jacobson (Thierot), suffered a tragedy when he was younger and his little sister Carrie Anne (Link) killed their parents after suffering from a head trauma then ran off into the woods where she was presumed dead. But when Elissa starts a relationship with Ryan, she discovers that Carrie Anne isn’t dead and may actually be killing others as well.

Although this has an interesting twist towards the end in regards to the crazy Carrie Anne,this isn’t suspenseful enough to really hold the viewers’ attention. The action is at times too slow and at others the use of flashbacks seems to occur because the director is too lazy to let us draw our own conclusions. Teen thriller fans might enjoy this, but it is pretty mediocre.
