Jennifer Lawrence & Elisabeth Shue’s Underrated Horror Movie Arrives on Netflix Today

Jennifer Lawrence and Elisabeth Shue‘s lesser-known horror movie is now available on Netflix. House at the End of the Street arrives on the streamer today, giving audiences another chance to revisit the 2012 thriller.

The film originally opened in theaters on September 21, 2012, through Relativity Media. It follows a teenager who moves with her mother and discovers a notorious crime tied to their new home. Alongside Lawrence and Shue, Max Thieriot and Gil Bellows are also in the movie.

Netflix’s September 24 lineup includes the movie alongside several other returning titles. Availability can differ by country.

Why House at the End of the Street is worth adding to your watchlist

House at the End of the Street is worth adding for its mystery, psychological tension, and early Jennifer Lawrence performance. The film arrived before Lawrence became widely known for playing Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.

The thriller earned $44.1 million worldwide during its theatrical run, including $31.6 million domestically. The Numbers also reports a $6.9 million production budget.

Its critical reception was much less favorable. House at the End of the Street currently has a 10% Tomatometer score and a 41% Popcornmeter audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Directed by Mark Tonderai, the movie centers on Elissa Cassidy, played by Lawrence. She moves to a new town with her mother, Sarah, played by Shue. Their new home sits near a property linked to a double murder. Elissa soon becomes interested in Ryan, the surviving son connected to the case.

That relationship pulls her closer to unanswered questions surrounding the incident. The story combines horror elements with a psychological mystery and several twists. The film runs for 101 minutes and carries a PG-13 rating. David Loucka wrote the screenplay, while Jonathan Mostow received the story credit.

For viewers who can access it, the movie offers a compact thriller built around secrets, suspicion, and a dangerous past.
