Review of The Last House on the Left (1972) by N H — 04 Oct 2009
Last House on the Left has earned an infamous reputation over the years for its supposed controversial content and brutal violence. I found it to be overhyped and more of an exploitive low budget B-film than shocking coming across as dated.
Furthermore, the movie contained a lot of cheesy dialogue and awful acting. Not that it is a masterpiece by any means but I prefer the remake over the original. A few of the scenes in the movie do work and are startling and dismaying to some extent.
The kidnapping of the two girls by the psychotic convicts that the movie centers around is an example. The brutal conflict that takes place towards the end of the movie and the subsequent resolution is also an example.
Some people may find this horror movie terrifying and unnerving but I wasn't all that affected by it. In short, Last House on The Left has not aged well and isn't as good or scary as it has been made out be.
