House at the End of the Street

-->
The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence proves, once again, that she’s one of the most versatile actresses of Hollywood.  This talented star, who already displayed great talent in playing Mystique in X-Men: First Class and Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, graces the big screen once more in the psychological thriller House at the End of the Street.

Jennifer Lawrence is convincing in her role as Elissa, a teenager who has a knack for fixing people.  Max Thieriot (My Soul to Take), on the other         hand, is also excellent in portraying the role of a troubled young man whose disturbing childhood continues to hound him. His brooding charm wins not only the sympathy of Elissa but also that of the audience. The film’s smart casting brings Oscar-nominee Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas, Piranha 3D) into the role of Elissa’s mom.

The film is directed by Mark Tonderai based on the screenplay by David Loucka and story by Eduardo Gordon.

The characters are strongly established that the audience can’t help but feel a sense of loss with the way the movie ends.  Although the casting is great, the plot twists and turns are the elements that make House at the End of the Street a good slasher film. With Tonderai’s use of tension and his expert manipulation of the scenery, he sets the perfect mood for the unfolding of a chilling tale of murder.
The film is distributed in the country by Viva Films and screened exclusively at SM Cinema.
