House at the End of the Street (11 Oct 2012)


Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Oscar-nominee Elisabeth Shue; "Leaving Las Vegas", "Piranha 3D") and her daughter Elissa (Oscar-nominee Jennifer Lawrence; "X-Men: First Class", "Winter's Bone") 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; "My Soul to Take"), 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.

House at the End of the Street is a 2012 American horror-thriller film directed by Mark Tonderai and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thieriot, Gil Bellows and Elisabeth Shue.[2]

While visiting Elissa’s battle of the bands at the local high school, several high school students vandalize Ryan’s car and then attack him. While defending himself, he breaks the ankle of one of the students (Nolan Gerard Funk) and then runs home. The remaining students announce they're going to burn his house down. Elissa drives Ryan's broken car home and stops the fire, but while inside finds Ryan's secret room. Opening the door, she is attacked by Carrie-Ann right as Ryan arrives home to stop the attack. At this moment, it is revealed to the viewer that the current Carrie-Ann is actually the Penn State student from the diner, being held captive and made to look like Carrie-Ann.
In order to keep Carrie-Ann secret, he knocks Elissa out and ties her to a chair in the secret room. He reveals that Carrie-Ann actually died during the swinging accident but that he needed Carrie-Ann in his life. He knocks out the Penn State student and while removing her body from the room says he is going to make Elissa his new Carrie-Ann so he can have them both in his life. It becomes apparent to the viewer by this point that the first "Carrie-Ann" had never attacked Elissa but rather was another victim attempting to escape from Ryan. Weaver arrives at the house after a request from Sarah. Ryan says Elissa isn't there, but Weaver hears her phone ring inside. In a scuffle with Ryan inside the dark house, Weaver is stabbed to death in the laundry room after he drops his gun and malfunctioning flash light. During this time, Elissa escapes the secret room but is chloroformed by Ryan and thrown into the trunk of his car. When she awakes, she finds "Carrie-Ann" in the trunk and escapes his car. Sarah arrives at the house and hears Elissa's screams, but she is stabbed by Ryan and thrown in the laundry room. In a struggle in the dark laundry room, Ryan is shot several times by Elissa using the dropped objects by Weaver, and Ryan is then knocked out by Sarah.
On a later date, as Elissa and Sarah move out of their rented house, Elissa stares at a tree where Ryan once told her he learned the lesson that people hold multiple layers of secrets. In the final scene, Ryan is shown in a mental hospital. His inner thoughts reveal that after Carrie-Ann died his parents made him dress and act like Carrie-Ann, and when he would refuse they would abuse and hit him.
