THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT Blu-ray Review

Wes Craven’s original Last House on the Left is one of those films that stays with you. The premise is that two young girls get kidnapped, raped and murdered by a gang of criminals. Those criminals end up at the home of one of the people they murdered. The family then gets their revenge. Craven’s film was based on Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring, and the subject matter also seemed to influence In the Bedroom. Craven’s original film has a documentary feel, and was shot on 16mm, so it has that voyeuristic quality, which benefits the film, which is clumsily staged at times. But all this does is add to the unease. It’s not a great film, it could be a terrible film (though Robin Wood has been a staunch defender), but it is unshakeable. More after the jump:
