The Last House On the Left

This evening I went and watched the movie "The Last House On the Left". I have seen the original movie multiple times and had an idea of what I was in for; because we all know that horror movies now, compared to horror movies in the 70's, are about as graphic as possible so that the public can still view these films. I have and will always be a huge horror movie fanatic so usually, there isn't one that I won't watch. There have been a lot of horror movie remakes in the past three years, my favorite remake being Rob Zombies retelling of "Halloween"; which is just about my favorite movie ever. "The Last House on the Left" was absolutely disturbing to say the least, but I liked it! There were a couple scenes that definitely did not need to be as unsettling as they were but like I said directors will get away with whatever they can before receiving an NC-17 rating. I think that those scenes that I speak of were so over examined so that the viewer would hate the antagonists enough so that there demise in the end would be well deserved; and I believe it was. Overall, I think it's an originally ironic story and I am glad I went to see it. By now, though, we should all realize that if you initiate any drug use in a horror movie, you will die; and I will leave you on that positive note.
