| Mania.comRob VauxIt's too soapy and problematic to really work, but I guarantee you've seen worse this year. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfI hope Lawrence takes some time today to hug her Catching Fire producers for her good fortune. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThis is the rare horror film so bad that you almost wish it had turned into a good old connect-the-gory-dots slasher movie. The only mystery at work is how Lawrence's agent ever let her sign on to this. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg Maki... Typical of modern horror movies, jump-scares (which are startling, not scary--there is a difference) sprinkled throughout deflate the suspense before it builds much. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettFormulaic, unoriginal suspense thriller aided by a plot twist and good leads, that might delight the less-gore-is-more teenage audience. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasWorking from a solid template is only half the battle; the other half is filling in the details, and it's here that The House At The End Of The Street goes flat and generic, substituting jump-scares and visual twitchiness for the psychological complexity that might have sold the horror. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonWorking from a story by all-around genre specialist Jonathan Mostow, director Mark Tonderai steers the story cleanly around its queasy hairpin turns, perversely toying with one of pop cinema's most cherished clichés: the audience's inculcated desire to side with the underdog. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekUltimately it's just an old-fashioned shocker--'Psycho' crossed with 'Jane Eyre,' and reworked for the teeny-bopper crowd. But it lives up to neither of its exalted models. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreBy the third act, you or someone sitting near you will be whispering, muttering or just plain shouting at the screen. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe screenplay has a nice twist that could have supported a stylish giallo-style thriller; unfortunately, director Mark Tonderai delivers a mess -- an almost random tangle of choppy edits, handheld camera, 'shock' sound effects and other horror cliches. |
