House at the End of the Street - Region 2 DVD

It’s all a bit by the numbers in truth, but what lifts The House At The End Of The Street are two excellent acting performances. Both Shue and Lawrence give it their all here, and the film benefits enormously. Credit too should go to director Mark Tonderai, who follows up the quietly impressive Hush by injecting The House At The End Of The Street with a smattering of very, very impressive moments. The end result is a film that’s notably better than the story itself would suggest. The release isn’t beefed up a great deal by much in the extras department, incidentally, but the presentation of the film is suitably solid. --Jon Foster
