House at the End of the Street (2012)
Directed by Mark Tonderai from an original screenplay by David Loucka. Watch a trailer for the film below.
Film Synopsis (from the studio): Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) and her daughter Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence) 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), 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.
Running time: 100 minutes Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror, thematic elements, language, some teen partying and brief drug material.

Stolen (2012)
Directed by Simon West from an original screenplay by David Guggenheim. Watch a trailer for the film below.
Film Synopsis (from the studio): Will Montgomery (Nicolas Cage) is a master thief who, after being double-crossed in a heist gone awry, is sent to prison for 8 years. Upon his release he's ready to leave his criminal past behind and try to rebuild a relationship with his estranged daughter Allison. The FBI and his old cohorts believe that he hid the loot from the last heist 8 years ago, $10 million in bonds. To get his hands on it, his old partner Vincent (Josh Lucas) kidnaps Allison and demands the entire $10 million as ransom. Keeping her in the soundproofed trunk of a taxi cab, he's able to stay mobile amongst the throngs of taxis out during Mardi Gras day making it nearly impossible to find. Montgomery only has one day to get the ransom money but much to the disbelief of the FBI on his trail and Vincent, Will doesn't actually have it. Instead, he must trust his instincts and his old partner in crime, the beautiful, sexy and smart Riley (Malin Akerman), to do one more clever heist to get his daughter back alive before it's too late.
Running time: 96 minutes Rating: R for some violence and brief language.
