House at the End of the Street

You'd best stay away from this house if you don't want to be bored out of your mind

Jennifer Lawrence and Elisabeth Shue add some class to this disappointing flick that aspires to the status of 'A Hitchcockian thriller… geared towards a younger audience' (according to producer Aaron Ryder), but simply comes across as being a completely formulaic, forgettable and surprisingly bland addition to the girl-in-peril sub-genre. On a positive note, the Blu-ray's grainy AVC 2.40:1 1080p encode authentically replicates the film's striking visual style, while the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix holds some pleasing surprises (particularly during the finale).
