So the other night I watched the remake of the 1972 horror flick The Last House on the Left. LHOL, with many interesting qualities, was pretty slow for the first hour. Most of the hour you watch the daughter stress about her swimming career and learn that the family has a home on a lake far away from civilization. On their way to the lake they pass a creepy sign that you know will play a role later on in the movie. Some disturbing moments follow when Mari, the protagonist, and her friend get abused and raped by a group of 3 crazy murderers. I don't want to give the movie away, but once the action actually starts, the movie gets better and moves pretty fast. You just want the moment to come when the parents find out that the people in their house are the ones that raped their daughter. After that, you know they'll be saying bye-bye one by one.
What made me want to watch this movie is that the plotline is a little different than most horror flicks. The protagonist, the daughter, is actually violated early on in the movie, signaling the audience to fend for her immediately. For gruesome fans out there, you will be very curious to find out the ways the parents kill the rapists. The last is quite creative, but I'll leave it for you to decide how realistic it was.
The Last House on the Left was released August 18, 2009
