A mother and daughter move to a new town and find themselves living next door to a house where a young girl murdered her parents. When the daughter befriends the surviving son, she learns the story is far from over.

Read the script a while ago and while it had a nice twist and a creepy atmosphere, some of the dialogue was dreadful and I didn't really care for any of the characters. Not gonna rush out to see this in theaters.

She basically portrayed the exact same character Katniss was. The mom was good though

As I said, she portrays the same character in everything. This girl makes Danielle Panabaker's roles look varied. I mean, at least she gives us different variations of a good girl (The sweet, shy one. The one with an edge. The cliche one)

You must hate Jennifer Lawrence, because what you're saying makes noooo sense! You need to see the whole movie before you make pressumptions? Did you see her in 'Like Crazy'? Did you see her in 'Silver Linings Playbook'? Both of those roles are completely different from Katniss, and did I mention she was nominated for an oscar for her role in Silver Linings Playbook? And based on predictions, she is the most likely to win. You obviously know little about her. :)

So, you're telling me Jennifer did not play-

An angsty teen girl with no father figure/a dead father figure, a mother who is withdrawn in some way (alcohol, prostitution, breakdown, etc.), and who had to raise and fend for herself/her younger siblings in Poker House, HATES, THG, and Winter's Bone?

Because I have it on very good authority that's the role she portrayed in all 4 <3

No. She doesnt. You're description is only accurate in HATES. She is NOT an angsty teen in the Hunger Games or the Poker House. And can you give her a break, she's quite new in the acting business. Give her time to be in more roles. But I can assure you you're basing mostly everything off a clip or trailer, without even seeing a movie. I saw all 4, and she definitely brings something different to each of the movies. You're very critical, but for all the wrong reasons.

Fine. Take out angsty. Big difference. Now she cries a little less. Her characters in THG and Poker House (And Winter's Bone which you conveniently ignored) are teen girls with no father figure/a dead father figure, a mother who is withdrawn in some way (alcohol, prostitution, breakdown, etc.), and who had to raise and fend for herself/her younger siblings in those movies.

And it's not of f the clip or a trailer. I.... read the plots for the movies and they said EXACTLY that O_O (And I've seen THG)

As for "new to acting," that's not an excuse. She's been in the business 6 years. That's the same tiem as the (much superior) Isabelle Fuhrman has and only half the time the jawdroppingly talented Lauren German has been acting (delivering a memorable performance within her first 3 years of acting and a total knockout performance in 7)

But Jennifer does give amazing performances. And you read a fucking plot, I saw the fucking movie. And yes, I didnt mention Winter's Bone, because I didn't feel like it. Yes I know the plot sounds the same. But they are each different by far means in their own way. I think you're against Jennifer because you think she's overhyped because of the hunger games, but if you actually would take a minute and watch her other movies, you might think differently. Im not one of those crazy fans that love her because of the Hunger Games, I saw her in others BEFORE the Hunger Games and fell in love with her acting skills. So please, do yourself a favor and stop judging movies that you haven't even seen. K, thanks. :)

Uhm =U Screamer, you seriously do seem like an awesome guy, and I understand where you are coming from. But can you please slightly cool it down a bit @_@ I think that reply was... more then a tad bit unneeded :L

Again, nothing at all against you, but you seriously do need to cool it down.

Yeah... I kinda have to agree with Tay. That reply seemed very arrogant @_@

And I'm POSITIVE there are some small differences. However, you can't deny she's playing the same basic character type in all four of those movies? If she's so different, why don't you tell me what's WRONG about that archtype I fit her into or list the ways she really is incredibly different in each one instead of just tell me she is

This thread is about the film, not Jennifer. Make a thread for her in Celebity Discussion than discuss her acting here. :P Well, this movie sounds pretty meh but Max and Shue will save like 15% of it.
