I have very peculiar, mixed and sort of concerned feelings about this film. 2009's Friday the 13th was a remake that was worth doing because the original had almost no redeeming features about it. Althoug... read more -
April 3, 2012Interesting remake of Wes Craven's 1972 film, The Last House on the Left. I view Craven's original film as an exploitation horror classic that pushed the boundaries of good taste. With that said, this remake is still pretty disturbing and delivers some brutal scenes of revenge ma... read more

October 5, 2011As remakes go I don't this one faired too badly, but then again there are not many movies as good as the original to work with. Similar to the likes of "I Spit On Your Grave" this movie puts the audience in the hands of the victims and not the killers, as those they have harmed l... read more

July 1, 2011The original was groundbreaking and influencial for its day, it was far from great but it was still an unpleasant little film. This remake may be better made but it lacks the rawness and gritty realism of the Wes Craven original. It's a decent effort to be fair with a bit more gr... read more

May 15, 2011About as good as a thriller crime drama that your going to come across. I put off watching this because of the title I thought it was going to be one of those boring everybody's doing it type movie ( i.e.: Wrong Turn). But again I was wrong. The unrated version is version I saw a... read more

January 15, 2011fb100000040220993I didn't like the original, I can do without realistic violence against women. It was shocking. Surprisingly, 37 years later they opted to tone it down significantly. Without the shock value, you're left with a stupid story and characters void of depth. I'd call this shit, bu... read more

June 15, 2010Want to see a few evil people get exactly what they deserve, at the hands of a pair of vengeful parents? If yes, The Last House on The Left was made for you.
It's a throwback to an earlier time when horror didn't only equate a zombie outbreak or hauntings, it could be something ... read more -
May 26, 2010This film follows four criminals on the lam who encounter a pair of nubile female teens in a small mountain town. After murdering one and brutally raping the other and leaving her for dead, the cons seek refuge at a nearby summer house.The twist is that it's the very home inhabit... read more

It's that first 30 minutes that ruin this movie. Full Review

Boy, words can not express how much I just loathe and detest this movie. Full Review

Mike Mayo, Washington Post
In the end, like virtually every other remake that has been released recently, it's polished and predictable. Full Review

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
A shockingly mundane disappointment taken on its own and a deeply misguided refraction of the original. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Do not go to this movie if you simply seek entertainment. If you're a sociologist tracking the decline of civilization over the past four decades, you're in for a night of solid research. Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
The action scenes are particularly gripping. Full Review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
The remake is much glossier but also takes place mostly in real time, using long takes, genuinely disturbing violence and stretches with no dialogue to pin you to the story. Full Review

Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
Stripped of that sociological context, the extreme brutality here can't help but feel more than a little exploitative, especially where the film's female victims are concerned.
March 13, 2009
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
A deliberate, underplayed horror movie that is truly shocking. Full Review
