The Last House on the Left


Continuing with the recent theme of expressing brutality for no other reason then just to kill time and try to entertain people is The Last House on the Left, a disgusting, vile, hideous, pointless movie.

The story (if you can even call it that) plays out like this; Mari (played by Sara Paxton in one of the only highlights of this movie) is raped, tortured, and left for dead. And ironically enough, the criminals end up staying at her parents house for refuge from the storm. Mommy and Daddy become upset once they realize how fucked up their daughter is, and decide it's time to bring down the house.

And that's about it. The plot is so threadbare it can literally be summarized in one sentence. I bet the only reason that there was a "story" created is so that it would be plausible for harsh, unscary torture scenes to follow. The rape scene is one of the most disgusting scenes I've seen in a movie in a long time. It feels like it will never end and is just totally unnecessary and ridiculous to watch. It's not scary or even entertaining. It's just fucking vile.

Nothing scary happens in The Last House on the Left. Literally it's just people being tortured and killed for the entire movie (which feels like it will never end). I felt like there was an interesting idea here with the parents. Since they are bringing pain onto the criminals, are they any better? Is revenge justfication for brutality? But nope, fuck that shit. Let's just throw in some more torture porn because God knows we don't have enough of that.

The Last House on the Left is a sadistic, unenjoyable piece of trash. There's no humor and no real frights here. Just nasty bullshit trying to convince you that it's scary and entertaining. Fail on both parts.
