Predictable, cliched and trite. Full of stylistic incongruities. This film tries to hide behind its shallow visual style. Pulling focus in a slightly interesting way or putting on some colour gels in the hope of changing the film's look and feel can't disguise a complete lack of atmosphere.
House at the End of the Street is an extremely mediocre horror. And one that really speaks volumes about the declining genre in recent years. One thing a horror movie needs is a strong atmosphere to accompany its visual style.
Although it tries to borrow elements from Pyscho, Wes Craven's Last House on the Left and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it fails to deliver. It brings nothing new to the genre.
I miss good horror films!
