We all remember Jennifer Lawrence from her movie debut in The Hunger Games. This time around, she will be taking on a scary role in the upcoming film, House at the End of the Street.

Lawrence will reveal a darker, scarier side of her in order to escape the Katniss Everdeen role that everyone is familiar with.

The movie tells the story of a family that moves next door to a house that has dark history. Jennifer Lawrence plays the role of Elissa, who’s mother warns her not to associate with the inhabitant of the house that was once a murder scene. She soon becomes involved in solving the murder mystery, while avoiding becoming the next victim.

The film hits theaters nationwide September 21.
