House at the End of the Street is a 2012 American psychological thriller film directed by Mark Tonderai that stars Jennifer Lawrence.

The film's plot revolves around a teenage girl, Elissa, who along with her newly divorced mother Sarah, moves to a new neighborhood only to discover that the house at the end of the street was the site of a gruesome double homicide committed by a 13-year-old girl named Carrie Anne who had disappeared without a trace four years prior.

Elissa then starts a relationship with Carrie Anne's older brother Ryan, who lives in the same house, but nothing is as it appears to be.

Ryan now lives alone in the house and is hated by his neighbors; Bill Weaver, a local police officer, is his only supporter.

Ryan confides in Elissa that Carrie-Anne fell from a swing when they were little; he was supposed to be watching her while their parents were getting high on drugs.

One night, a group of unruly high school boys pick a fight with him; he breaks one of their legs in self-defense and flees.

Ryan restrains "Carrie-Anne" as Elissa finds blue contact lenses and Peggy's wallet in the kitchen.

The extended cut also included an additional twist, in which Bill Weaver was actually a close family friend of the Jacobsons and was aware of Carrie-Anne's fate, and he also knew about Ryan's abuse but did nothing to help him.

[citation needed] The film debuted at number one at the US box office on its opening Friday and Saturday nights.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Poorly conceived, clumsily executed, and almost completely bereft of scares, House at the End of the Street strands its talented star in a film as bland as its title.
