So that was a good clue that other teens around the country would want to see it, too. I hadn't even planned on reviewing House at the End of the Street for my family syndicators, but then my 15-year-old and her friends decided they wanted to see it, partly because it stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) and Max Thieriot (Nancy Drew). Kids don't need to have that kind of violence in their heads, even if the film features young stars like Shia LaBeouf (Disturbia), Amanda Seyfried (Gone) or Taylor Lautner (Abduction).
#MAX THIERIOT PARENTS MOVIE#
REVIEW: Remember back when most horror movies were rated R? When if a movie featured a girl running through the woods at night, a murderer with a knife, and a dead body here and there, that it wasn't recommend for kids aged 13? Guess what? That still applies, and I don't care what the MPAA people have to say about it. This is one of those movies that would have benefited from a PG-15 rating. Will Parents Like It? This movie falls somewhere between scary and cheesy, but there's too much violence and peril for a PG-13 rating. Which Kids Will Like It? Kids 15 and older who like Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thieriot or scary movies. Teens are shown drinking, and one is passed out on a bed.
An adult drinks to excess while having dinner with two teens. Profanity: Includes "sh*t," "a**hole," "d*ck," "damn," "bitch," "slut," and "piss."

He retaliates by breaking one of the boys' legs. Several teen boys gang up on another boy, kicking and punching him.

Violence/Gore: Peril and violence throughout the movie, including a girl being tied up and locked in a basement room, and thrown into a car trunk next to a dead body.
