House at the End of the Street (2012)


 

After moving with her mother to a small town, a teenager finds that an accident happened in the house at the end of the street. Things get more complicated when she befriends a boy. A double murder is not an accident. 

Highly derivative and unoriginal horror drama additionally disappoints by presenting an ending that contradicts most of the notions planted beforehand; it's not Jennifer Lawrence's fault, though.

Maltin*1/2: "Dull, unimaginative, and overly familiar, it's not even really horror, just a relatively obvious mystery."

The Calling (2014)



A detective hasn't had much to worry about in the sleepy town of Fort Dundas until a string of gruesome murders in the surrounding countryside brings her face to face with a serial killer driven by a higher calling.

Solid, but not too spectacular serial killer mystery with quite a construed plot; the performances are Ok, but rather perfunctory as well.
