SYNOPSIS:

The Last House on the Left is a vicious and efficient updating of the 1972 controversial graphic shocker of the same name, produced by its original director/producer pairing of Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham.

​

When athletic teen Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) opts to hang out with her friend Paige in town rather than spend an evening in with her parents vacationing at the family’s remote lake house, it marks the beginning of a night no one is going to forget. The two girls wind up in the company of escaped convict Krug (Garret Dillahunt) and his makeshift family of vile career criminals, who kidnap and brutally assault them before leaving them for dead. Fleeing from the scene of their violent crime during a storm, the thugs inadvertently seek refuge with Mari’s parents, anxious as to why their daughter hasn’t come home yet and primed to unleash the full forces of hell on anyone who would dare to touch so much as a hair on her head.

​

Energetically directed by Dennis Iliadis from a new script by Carl Ellsworth (Red Eye, Disturbia), this remake of horror cinema’s seminal tale of bloody revenge has been described by Stephen King as “the best horror movie of the new century”.

REASONS TO WATCH: 

"While this remake or Craven's 1972 classic is by no means watered down, it takes a different approach to the premise that allows it to stand on its own." - Horror Queers Podcast ​

​

"Last House is slicker than Craven's 1970s drive-in classic original, but it doesn't hold back. It kicks you right in the face on the some of the sequences actually. Garrett Dillahunt is a chilling Krug as well." - DrumDums

​

"The film's most unexpected strength, and the one most necessary for it's success, is the quality of acting on display." - Film School Rejects
