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.
