Masters of horror Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham revisit their landmark film that launched Craven's directing career and influenced decades of horror films to follow: The Last House On The Left.
From the blurb on the back of the box it looks promising...well let me tell you - looks can be deceiving!
"From Masters of Horror", etc etc !! No such luck I'm afraid.
Someone on the production team must have forgotten to buy any ketchup!
I think they're playing on all the banned hype to rope you in, but trust me, don't bother.
It's "made-for-tv-tastic"!
The girl in the lead roll (Sara Paxton) didn't do too badly, so maybe more serious roles will suit her in the future.
Other than that - I'm sorry guys, but just not good enough.
If you want to see a good film in this genre, then get "Wolf Creek", now there's a film, that if you haven't got a sofa, you'll go and buy one to hide behind.
Verdict
Tamer than the original but still gory, The Last House On The Left makes for an unpleasant viewing experience. Nasty and predictable!

Extended version (not shown in the cinemas) of the remake of Wes Craven's 1972 horror film of the same name. When teenage friends Mari (Sara Paxton) and Paige (Martha MacIsaac) go into town in search of marijuana, they meet Justin (Spencer Treat Clark), an unusual young man who has what the girls are looking for back at his motel room. When Justin's father, sociopath and recent prison escapee Krug (Garret Dillahunt), turns up at the motel with his cronies, they kidnap the girls and subject them to a sustained and brutal assault before hiding out at a remote house - which, unbeknown to the gang, is the home of Mari's parents, John (Tony Goldwyn) and Emma (Monica Potter). The perpetrators then become the victims as Mari's parents devise an increasingly gruesome sequence of tortuous revenge tactics on the men who harmed their daughter.
