This notorious exercise in low-budget gore is poorly edited and photographed, but its catalogue of horrors and a genuinely nasty tone make it worthwhile for fans of sick cinema. Vowing revenge on the ... read more read more...society which put him behind bars, Terry Hawkins (Steven Morrison) begins making pornographic films for a group of rich decadents, who watch them at orgies. When the jaded Steve (Alex Kregar) complains of boredom, he is kidnapped by Hawkins and his Charles Manson-like gang. The crazed killers force Steve to suck a deer's hoof which a leather-freak named Ken (Dennis Crawford) has placed in his zipper, then they show a snuff film of his friend Nancy (Barbara Amunsen) being murdered. In the film, Nancy's face is slashed repeatedly with a pen-knife, her legs are amputated with a hacksaw, and her stomach is gutted with a pair of hedge-clippers before she is cannibalized. The horrified Steve has his eye drilled out as the film ends with a voice-over stating that the murderers are now in jail. Although it is certainly repulsive, Last House on Dead End Street is not a real snuff film, as some rumors have claimed. The special effects are obviously low-rent, and not particularly convincing, but are vile enough to keep the film interesting. Among other sights awaiting brave viewers are: cows being bled to death in a slaughterhouse, a hunchback whipping a woman in blackface, a blind man being strangled, a woman branded with a hot iron before having her throat slashed, and a vicious beating. One of the more graphic examples of the Manson subgenre, this horror film is for specialized tastes only. The director of the picture is actually Roger Watkins, helming under the pseudonym Victor Janos. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

    Is it good? God no...

    Roger Watkins the director was high on drugs while making this :P

    Terry Harwkings get's out of Prison and for reason's never understood he decides to kill the people that put him in their. So he gets a bunch of disturbed people and they make Snuff film... read mores out of there captives...

    It's god awful in everyway and the trailer is misleading. The thing makes it look like Suspiria but no we get a Snuff related film with reasons and things that happen in this that are never exsplained.

    The acting is dull, and the films sound was done on a tape recorder (becuase of it's no-budget). But one thing that stops me from giving it a zero is it's impressive Effects. The ending slughter of the Girl on the bed influenced here - Guinea Pig 2: Flowers of Flesh & Blood...

    A slimeball decides to use his talents making snuff films and the audience gets to join in! A true grindhouse film, without a million dollar budget, like our recent so-called grindhouse films.

    Wow, just about everything about this film is unpleasant. Very obviously in the vein of Last House on the Left, Last House on Dead End Street revolves around some snuff filmmakers and their despicable deeds. The most unsettling aspect of this film is how life seems to reflect art... read more. The poorly-lit shots, meandering camera work and shitty, almost improvisational acting make this film feel like snuff material, making for an eerily engrossing experience.

    This is the find of film that just makes you feel like a despicable human being for just watching it. The blood effects don't really hold up that well, but the overall sleazy nature of the movie just makes you want to take a shower.

    Easily the sickest, most disturbing horror movie of the seventies. Highly recommended to lovers of truly demented cinema

dirt cheap and deeply flawed, but still worth enduring; for even if the deaths are faked, there's a real enough intelligence behind it all. Full Review
