House at the End of the Street	comment	House at the End of the Street is a 2010 horror movie directed by Mark Tonderai and starring Jennifer Lawrence (made between Winter's Bone and The Hunger Games but released after both of them, in 2012).The film stars Lawrence as Elissa, a young woman from Chicago who, along with mother Sarah (Elisabeth Shue), move into a dirt-cheap fixer-upper in a quaint suburban neighborhood. However, not all things are what they seem in this neighborhood, especially when the two hear of the story behind a young daughter murdering her parents in a house close to where Elissa and Sarah now live. After murdering her parents, the daughter subsequently vanished, leaving behind her brother Ryan (Max Thieriot) as the only survivor. Much to Sarah's chagrin, Elissa starts falling for Ryan, and things begin to reach scary new heights when the two continue with their relationship.

House at the End of the Street / int_7374ab13	type	Once More, with Clarity
House at the End of the Street / int_7374ab13	comment	Once More, with Clarity: At the beginning of the movie, a husband and wife are brutally murdered by their brain-damaged/mentally ill child, perfect tragic victims for the opening of a horror movie. Even finding out half-way through the movie that they were neglectful junkies doesn't change much considering the horror-struck look on the dad's face after Carrie-Ann's accident. It's only after the end when you realize that they became full-on abusive parents for years, making Ryan take on the persona of his dead sister to ease their grief, and that the beginning isn't about two loving parents being randomly killed by the child they were protecting, but about the karmic death of abusive parents, with the mother sounding like a Smug Snake in the beginning, at the hands of the mentally ill child they created through psychological damage. You can't help but cheer for their deaths when watching the beginning again.

At first, it looks like Ryan is keeping his brain-damaged sister in his basement out a of misguided but sympathetic desire to protect her, then it turns out that the real Carrie Anne is long dead and Ryan has been kidnapping young women so he can pretend she's still alive â€” and that he was the one who murdered their parents. Finally, it's revealed that Ryan's parents were not simply neglectful, but actively abusive, and forced him to become Carrie Anne after her death, leading him to eventually snap.
