Movie Review – Last House on the Left
It’s been a while since I posted a movie review. A few weeks ago I went to see Last House on the Left. The plot is simple – A girl goes with her parents to their vacation home near a lake. She goes into town to meet her friend and they end up getting kidnapped by a group of cons, who take them into the woods and then leave them for dead. The cons end up staying at the parents’ house who exact their revenge. There are some recognizable actors/actresses in this movie; you’ll recognize their face but won’t be able to put a name with it.
Last House on the Left was done very well. Although the first half was somewhat disturbing (look at the rating reason on the poster for more details), the second was good, and meets the standards for modern day horror films. The parents exact their revenge on the cons in different ways, most of which have never been seen before. These methods include a garbage disposal, a curtain rod, and a microwave. I don’t want to spoil too much of it for you. The second half makes this a great horror film.
As far as bad things go, the only negative thing I found was the first half of the movie, and just because of the content it contained. It is definitely hard to watch because of the fact that nothing is held back. Besides some blood and guts in the second half, the first half of the movie basically gives the R rating.
Overall, Last House on the Left is well done, with recognizable actors helping things. The first half is very disturbing but the second half makes up for it, and if you love horror movies, definitely check it out. Ratings wise, I give Last House on the Left 8/10.
