Technically 2nd to last house on the left now.

Now, don't get me wrong; I think Cravens original from '72 can't be touched...and this still holds true. When I first saw the original '72 version it was just plain out disturbing. It was not at all what I was expecting but makes me understand how this was one of the films that makes Craven, Wes Craven.

The 2009 remake took it's artistic license to cater to a newer, more modern, more inpatient crowd needing a little more action, cast members, and fights. I would give this movie 3 out of 5, just because though it was shot well, and a complete movie...it just wasn't anything special to stand out. This is not based on a comparison with the original either, since there were enough things changed in this to basically make it it's own movie and the film makers merely borrowed the movie title...

Sweet, sweet revenge. The horror thriller remake of the 1972 Wes Craven original, Last House on the Left (2009) has what it takes. Twists and turns that take you from the depths of mans evil, ugly side all the way to the heights of a fathers sweet vengence. Not only does it keep you watching throughout the journey but it has one of the best lines I've heard in a long time. But, I'll get to that in a minute.

When convicted killer, Krug (Garret Dillahunt) violently escapes police custody his crazy family decides to hide out in a small mountain town. At the sametime a busy doctor his wife and daughter are heading up to ...

Scary

This movie was at once heartbreaking and terrifying. Defnitely hard to watch as well as not being for kids, this movie was excellently pulled off. The rape scene was so incredibly difficult to watch but it made me truly okay with what the criminals got in the end.

Good but not for everyone

This was a good movie however very brutal and one scene in particular was very hard to watch. I would say that the original 1970's version was a little more explicit, but this film while very good especially if you are a fan of the horror genra is not for everyone.
