Day 10 of my 31 day horror film binge.  Thought this was more of a thriller than a horror but it came up under horror.  The House at the end of the street.



I have seen this one once before and whilst its down as a horror, most people would class it as a well paced clever thriller.  Its about a mother and daughter who move into a new neighbourhood where a couple were brutally murdered four years before by their daughter.  Even though the house is supposed to be empty, the son who was living away from the family when the tragedy happened, is now living in the house.  His sister was never caught for the murders and was believed to be drowned.  However the son is keeping the daughter locked up in the basement as she is bran damaged from an accident that happened when she was a child.  The son feels responsible and now thinks its his duty to look after his sister.  The new girl falls for the son and what looks like a romance is on the cards, but all is not as it seems.  Like I said its a well paced thriller with several good twists and turns.  Its been done before and probably better but this is definitely worth a watch.  Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thieriot and Elizabeth Shue.  I would give it 6 out of 10.
