This week started off with the first official still from the thriller House at the End of the Street, and it's ending with the newly-unveiled theatrical for the upcoming film from Relativity Media.
The horror tale's leading lady, Jennifer Lawrence, is a bona-fide movie star thanks to her performance as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, but the trailer for House at the End of the Street doesn't rely upon her new ubiquity to sell the movie. Instead, it opens with fierce intensity then doesn't relent for the ensuing two minutes, dropping lots of cool flashback effects and escalating the true sense of horror right up until the very end.
Synopsis: Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Oscar®-nominee Elisabeth Shue; Leaving Las Vegas, Piranha 3D) and her daughter Elissa (Oscar®-nominee Jennifer Lawrence; X-Men: First Class, Winter’s Bone) find the house of their dreams in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. Years earlier, in the house next door, a daughter killed her parents in their beds, and disappeared – leaving only a brother, Ryan (Max Thieriot, My Soul to Take), as the sole survivor. Against Sarah’s wishes, Elissa begins a relationship with the reclusive Ryan – and the closer they get, the deeper they’re all pulled into a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined.
Hot on the heels of The Hunger Games record breaking opening weekend everyone in the world is asking one question … what new film can we see Jennifer Lawrence in next? Well, Relativity Media has the answer for you in the form of their upcoming horror/thriller House at the End of the Street, which features the newly minted international superstar and former Academy Award nominee. The new movie will be released on September 21st, and also stars fellow Oscar nominee Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas), as well as actors, Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption) and Max Thieriot (Jumper).
House at the End of the Street was helmed by British director Mark Tonderai (Hush) and based on a story by fellow director Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines). The film follows newly divorced Sarah (Shue) and her daughter Elissa (Lawrence) who finally find their dream house in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret.
In honor of the first photo and trailer from the film, which were both released this week, I had a chance to speak with director Mark Tonderai about his work on House at the End of the Street. The director discussed his upcoming film, it’s premise, post-production, the screening process, Jennifer Lawrence, the rest of the film’s exceptional cast, his love for Alfred Hitchcock, and whether or not the film will have a presence at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego.

When Lawrence's teen-aged character strikes up a friendship with the sole survivor, played by Max Thieriot she involves herself in a dangerous relationship. Today, Relativity announced a release date for the House at the End of the Street: February 3, 2012.
