The Last House on the Left (2009)
Much less sadistic and violent than the 1972 version, The Last House on the Left still provides plenty of blood and guts to keep its twisted audience happy.
Aside from the name, and the names of a few of the characters, The Last House on the Left of 2009 has little in common with its 1972 predecessor. This is a movie that definitely stands on its own – which can’t be said for many remakes.
Perhaps the movies does tone down a few of the more sadistic aspects of its namesake, but it does so without losing any of the true horror the first movie provided. There are many genuinely scary and disturbing moments and a few surprises along the way. Worth watching at the very least.
Quick Review: The Last House on the Left isn’t so much a remake as it is a retelling or re-imagining. Score major points for gore and imaginative killings.
