“The Dark End Of The Street” (*1/2 out of four) was a blah, by-the-numbers melodrama about the residents of a suburban community (Scott Friend, Brooke Bloom, Lindsay Burdge, and others) who enjoy a nice night at home with their friends and family, unaware that their is an ominous and menacing force outside which is about to disrupt their happiness and tranquility. Yet another dark-side-of-suburbia story which was done to perfection in 1986 in “Blue Velvet” and then again in 1999 in “American Beauty” and this movie is simply a pallid imitation. Heather Monetti’s eerie music is one of film’s few merits.
