The last house on the left is a 2009 american horror movie directed by Dennis Iliadis and written by Carl Ellsworth and Adam Alleca. It’s a remake of the 1972 movie of the same name. The film follows the parents of Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton), who want to revenge to a group of strangers led by Krug (Garret Dillahunt), that have taken shelter at their home during a thunderstorm. Maris parents discover that Krug and his group have raped and shot their daughter and left her for dead.
The story is about revenge of parents. They are willing to do anything they can, to hurt those criminals who hurt their daughter. It had a good, simple plot and had only few raw scenes in it. It was almost like splitted into two parts: to the horror-part and to the psychological thriller. The second part was rather violent and agonizing. It didn’t feel good to watch the innocent young people to be hurt. It almost made me stop watching the movie. The violence was raw but not visual. The actors were quite good, they did their best, but their roles were superficial.
Something interesting in the plot made me watch forward. But the detailed violent scenes were too much and as said, those roles were so shallow. The last house on the left is middle class movie with some good turns and rather interesting actors. But it didn’t make me want to watch that film again. It had nothing to give.
