Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Filipe Neto This movie is a remake of another movie, older and forgotten. The story revolves around three sadistic criminals who kill mercilessly and who decide to hide in a quiet middle-aged couple's vacation home, hours after they raped and tried to kill their daughter. The story is really good and the environment is tense from start to finish. The rape scene is one of the hardest to watch I've ever seen. However, from the middle, the film loses some interest because it becomes predictable and similar to other horror films like "You're Next", for example. What saves the film, at that moment, is the sympathy that we have already felt for the couple and their daughter. This connection allows the public's attention not to be scattered because we still want to see the bad guys punished. Garret Dillahunt is incredible in the role of the gang boss, managing to make his character an unbearably disgusting presence. Riki Lindhome and Aaron Paul were more restrained but no less competent. Sara Paxton was reasonable, but her role gradually becomes secondary, giving way to Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter, a good duo who really did a great job. In the end, what we have is a good remake that, while not surprising, is able to entertain and cause some shivers.

kristina This is one of those movies I was merely too tired and lazy to turn off after a very hard week's work.Lots of gratuitous shots of young female bodies getting (un)dressed, the usual complete lack of shading (the good are supremely good, the bad are fiendish), the torturous build-up the rape scene which seemed to be regarded as worse than the friend's killing (!)... could go on. I'm sure Aaron Paul looks back on this choice with great embarrassment.The ending is obscene in its cynicism , blithely showing the "good" doctor as being no better than the "evil" enemy - utter garbage (note that I didn't chose the word rubbish to avoid American readers having to consult an English dictionary).Trump voters should love this. In other words: Avoid at all cost.

GL84 After kidnapping, tormenting, raping and leaving their daughter for dead, her parents find the group of strangers seeking shelter at their house from a storm as the ones responsible and set out to avenge the misdeeds against their family.Even though it's miles better than the original, that's not saying much as this was pretty troubling. Among the problems here is the fact that the first half is just criminally boring, as there's not much of anything that keeps the interest or really gets involved with what happened throughout here. The early build-up of them going around town and meeting up with her friend that introduces them to the group isn't all that interesting and really feels like a contrivance to introduce them to the group while really holding this one down from its interesting parts here. Likewise, the set-up of the group happening upon the house takes way too long to fulfill here as their hospitality is certainly welcomed but it drags way past helpful here as the discovery comes rather late here due to the incessant nature of these scenes, while the final brawl is slightly too underwhelming here with the father not getting full revenge by showing him to be clearly outmatched and needing to be rescued in order to be saved which just is really that satisfying thematically. This one also tends to get overplayed here with a protracted stalking scene as them going after the group really makes the film overlong at the final resolution rather than actually building suspense here, and there's a lot of build-up here that doesn't really offer up much. As well, this section highlights another big problem here in that this was significantly down-played from the original by completely ignoring the dirty, grimy feel that should've been a part of this one from the very beginning and is instead way too clean and sanitized, one of the more important and certainly worthwhile elements of the original that's completely missing here which really renders a lot of the problems here along with the uncomfortable feeling in the rape scenes that's really unsettling to watch. While these really hold this one down the few positive parts do stick out with the film's best part being the additional energy the film gets here as it did manage to get a little better as it went along by really picking up steam with the confrontation in the woods leading to the actual encounter here from the tense car ride through the woods, the fun crashing sequence and the resulting chases through the woods which sets up that whole sequence and eventual escape. Likewise, there's a lot of fun here with the actual revenge being taken out against the group as these vicious, brutal and violent brawls are quite cathartic and really important at making the revenge seem logical and well-thought-out here as the action throughout the house, from the bloody kitchen encounter to the chasing in the guest-house that includes the gunfight alongside the rather fine encounter in the bathroom all leading nicely into the big, knockdown brawl for its final resolution, there's some really enjoyable action scenes throughout here that makes this one quite fun. While it wasn't terrible, it wasn't an entertaining film either.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, a Rape Scene, Full Nudity and drug use.

Raul Faust First, I'd like to state that I haven't seen the original version of this, so I'm not making any comparisons between them. "The Last House on the Left" is a movie that involves desperation and vengeance of a family after their daughter get beaten up and raped by a group of violent people. The story is OK, and I see no reason to demerit the writers. Photography directing is more than OK; it's wonderful. The nostalgic colors used in here bring the darkness this movie deserves. However, one of the aspects that really annoyed me was the bad acting from the whole cast; no one was able to express the feelings the characters must have gone through. For instance, whilst the couple's daughter was bleeding on the floor, they seemed too calm for someone who was about to lose a descendant. Parents, especially mothers, usually scream and get desperate in these situations, but in here, they showed no emotion at all. Also, the directing was extremely poor and unable to demonstrate any credibility in the fighting scenes; the spectator could easily notice they weren't making any strong movement during the fights. All in all, to wrap things up, "The Last House on the Left" is a film that I wouldn't see again, nor indicate to friends who like the genre.
