Notes

My quick rating - 5.7/10. Not sure how I had not heard of this one. It wasn't great, but still an entertaining horror flick. The cast does outshine the story, but it is still satisfying. Elisabeth Shue plays the mother to Jennifer Lawrence, who moves into a quaint little neighborhood that happens to be next door to a house where a family was brutally murdered, leaving the sole survivor, Max Thieriot. This is basically your whole cast, or the ones that actually have developed characters; the rest are just fillers to move the story along. This is the biggest problem here since there really isn't much to that story. The vast majority of this movie is more about the interactions between them and forgets to add tension along the way. It was all a very polished Hollywood flick that took the safe route in everything, so there are no scares, gore, basically anything that makes this horror. The drama here is what leads to the genre tag though, as Lawrence is slowly drawn into the life of Thieriot and what had happened when his sister had killed the family. IF you took out the cast that this movie had and didn't have the full backing of the pros top to bottom making it, I really expect this wouldn't have gone anywhere. Instead, it is a very slow build-up to a twist or two that, unfortunately, I thought were too painfully obvious in the making. Still worth the watch for just checking out a movie that does show how to play it safe and smooth while still being entertaining. You don't always have to be groundbreaking to make a quality flick.
