Relativity Media releases House at the End of the Street on Blu-ray/DVD on January 18th, 2013. The PG-13 thriller from director Mark Tonderai (Hush) stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) Max Thieriot (My Soul To Take) and Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas, Adventures In Babysitting).

In the film, “Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) and her daughter Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence) find the house of their dreams in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. Years earlier, in the house next door, a daughter killed her parents in their beds, and disappeared – leaving only a brother, Ryan (Max Thieriot), as the sole survivor. Against Sarah’s wishes, Elissa begins a relationship with the reclusive Ryan – and the closer they get, the deeper they’re all pulled into a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined.”

Film Title: House at the End of the Street

[BD Review] Brad Doesn’t Find Much To Love In ‘House At The End Of The Street’!

Relativity Media releases House at the End of the Street today, September 21st. The PG-13 thriller from director Mark Tonderai (Hush) stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) Max Thieriot (My Soul To Take) and Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas, Adventures In Babysitting). And I’ve got a feeling that the film’s unfortunate twitter hashtag (#HATES) might come back to haunt it. At least if other critics feel the same way Brad does.

In the film, “On the horror scale this PG-13 thriller scores a big fat zero, although it has one fairly well staged jump scare. Frankly, the only thing that makes the remotely bearable to watch are the performances by Theiriot and Lawrence (Elisabeth Shue is awkwardly scripted and shockingly miscast)… it’s just so poorly conceived that it should have premiered on Lifetime.”

Myself and a few other journalists sat down with Tonderai a few days ago and spoke to him at length about the film, how he came to cast Lawrence and Thieriot and the intensive “bible” he created for the film. We also talked about his love of Hitchock, which is evident when you see the film.

Third ‘House At The End Of The Street’ Trailer Echoes ‘Psycho’, Finally Grabs Our Attention…

Relativity Media dropped the ball with the first two trailers for Mark Tonderai’s House at the End of the Street, their PG-13 haunter starring Hunger Games‘ Jennifer Lawrence, alongside Elisabeth Shue, Max Thieriot and Gil Bellows.

In theaters September 21, the latest attempt finally gets it right as they share the dynamic between the characters Elissa (Lawrence) and Ryan (Thieriot), as well as teasing the film’s biggest drawing point… that Ryan talks to his dead mother’s spirit (and asks her to leave Elissa alone). It taps into Psycho, which leads me to believe we’ll find out Ryan has a split personality. Either way, this trailer has finally sold me. What say you?

Director Mark Tonderai Talks Suspense, Hitchcock and House at the End of the Street

Relativity unveiled the official trailer to the Mark Tonderai-directed House at the End of the Street yesterday. Needless to say, since this is now “the new Jennifer Lawrence movie”, it cause quite a stir.

I had been traveling all day Wednesday and Thursday and I hadn’t yet been able to see the new trailer, but I was still eager to talk with director Mark Tonderai about his film – so when I had the chance to talk with him between flights, I took the call . Luckily for me, I found that I didn’t have to do too much grilling. Tonderai is so passionate about what he does that we were able to have a fairly free flowing conversation about his film, but also about film and the industry in general.

The PG-13 horror flick opening September 26 “centers on a teen girl (Lawrence) who moves with her mom to a new town and learns that their home is across the street from a house where a double murder took place. Complications ensue when the teen befriends the massacre’s sole surviving son (Max Thieriot). Elisabeth Shue costars as Lawrence’s mom.”

A young couple on a motorway journey are drawn into a game of cat and mouse with a truck driver following a near accident.

Tired and irritable, Zakes (Will Ash) and Beth (Christine Bottomley) drive home along the M1, a familiar journey full of harshly lit service stations and bad coffee. When a white truck narrowly avoids hitting them, its back doors open to reveal a woman terrified and screaming caged up inside. Unsure if what he has seen is real, Zakes calls the police but drives on. Beth is furious that he hasn’t done more to help and at the next petrol station storms off. When she doesn’t return, Zakes slowly realises that she too has been snatched by the white truck driver and is forced into a vicious game of cat and mouse with a ruthless killer who has terrifying plans for his human cargo.
