Unpleasant and Unrelenting: Last House on the Left 2009

by Mike_Bracken Mike_Bracken is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 13 '09
Pros: A solid updating of Craven's exploitation classic.
Cons: The violence makes it a tough sell for mainstream audiences.
With the horror film remake craze in full swing now (we should reach the point where we're getting remakes of remakes in another year or two by my estimation) it seems only natural that Wes Craven's divisive and powerfully disturbing 1972 classic The ...

I hope The Last House on the Left doesn't go into foreclosure!

by brendan2, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 18 '09
Pros: a remake which retains the power to disturb and unsettle
Cons: the Hollywood ending
Even though just about every horror movie under the sun is being remade, the fact that Wes Craven's notorious T he Last House on the Left received the Hollywood treatment is surprising.  What's even more surprising is that ...

I'd Keep On Driving Right Past The Last House On The Left

by chad8246 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 17 '09
Pros: It ends
Cons: Grossly violent. A few tremendously disturbing scenes.
Horror films are definitely not my cup of tea. In fact, I don't really like tea either. But, I do enjoy thrillers/suspense films. Sure the scope of thrillers/suspense flicks is pretty large, while horror films are very specific except for the Scream ...

And I always thought a microwave had to be closed for it to work.

by pcomsec , Mar 21 '09
Pros: The family that kills together, stays together.
Cons: Everything else.
Ahoy there be SPOILERS - MAJOR SPOILERS ahead!!! How this movie made it by with an "R" rating is beyond me. First, let me say that I am not a prude about movies (or many, many things for that matter). I had read a review previously on ...

LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT--THIS IS GONNA SCAR! THIS IS GONNA SCAR FOREVER!

by jarvococker , Mar 14 '09
Pros: Uh, the soundtrack? Sara Paxton
Cons: Super violent! Nasty streak of gratuity
Wes Craven, who directed the original "Last House on the Left," famously walked out of a screening of "Reservoir Dogs." As an audience member, he took offense to the sequence where Mr. Blond tortures the cop. The irony is that Craven's own film featured ...

A Particularly American Sickness:"The Last House On The Left" Is Utterly Devoid Of Entertainment Value.

by wlswarts Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 13 '09
Pros: None.
Cons: Everything: Concept, Violence, Gore, Acting, Plot, Lack of character development.
I am, for those who know me, hardly what one would call a prude. In fact, I have often embarrassed my family by saying - at all the wrong times - "Life is too short for softcore." I have no problem with sex in films, I have little problem with ...

Up To Snuff: 'The Last House on the Left' film review

by erik_olsen , Mar 22 '09
Pros: -Great Acting/ Great Cinematography
Cons: -Disturbing/ Tough to watch, at times/ Furthers the modern trend of torture, instead of terror
This is a tough one to review. Part of me just wants to completely blast this movie. It was sick, it was disturbing, and, by those standards, it got the job done. I don't know if I should reward it for being repulsive, or just try to dismiss it ...

A disturbing film that is faithful to the original that inspired it.

by garethvk , Mar 13 '09
Pros: Follows the original.
Cons: Very disturbing.
  In 1972, horror icon Wes Craven made a name for himself by writing and directing a film called “The Last House on the Left." The film was very controversial and helped launch a new genre of terror and suspense films that pushed the ...

Really Stepped in It

by topreviewerman , Apr 13 '09
Pros: If you're hurt, bleeding and lost, you're really lucky to find a doctor.
Cons: But if you've raped his daughter, it's the kind of luck called bad.
Two groups commingle in a secluded location: a family (and friend) on vacation and a convict (and girlfriend & family) on the lam. The teenage (17) daughter Mary gets raped and the convict gets lied to (more than once). ...

Pros: Respects the original, it's disturbing, has great acting, moves at a good pace

Finally a horror movie worthy of being a "remake"

by alphaproject , Mar 15 '09
Pros: High quality, drama, gore and acting.
Cons: None....
I've read that Wes Craven's movie was already a loose remake of an older movie, called Jungfrukällan, so to call this movie a remake of a remake is pretty justified but it completely stands alone in quality because it's actually better than Wes ...
