Ok, so I could have past on this movie, and not felt bad about it, but I gave it a shot anyway because it looked like it might be a little fun. The first act was kind of cliché, and did not impress me at all. A serial killer is being transferred, and is cop escort is killed and he is busted out by his cronies. They go hide in a quiet little lake town in the middle of nowhere, where they are supposed to meet up with the guy’s kid, who is patiently waiting, but as teenagers do, he gets bored and invites some cute girls back to his motel room to smoke out. Bla bla bla, trouble comes a knocking and bad shit goes down. We see some graphic beat downs take place and even a tasteless rape scene which I did not like at all (already losing point here, nice going ass hats). Eventually, a storm hits town and the killers go to the one place they didn’t expect, the home of the girl’s parent’s they thought they just killed. Of course the girl does not die (even though she should have by all reasonable means) and after mom and Dr. Dad do their best to patch her up, they go to town on their houseguests and do some damage of their own. I do love it when the victims fight back in these types of films and that’s where this movie wins some points back! Hurray! The ending was a bit of a surprise for me, but not all that unexpected, and I still liked that for what it was worth. Go see it, or don’t. It’s your call, but don’t expect too much either way.
I give The Last House on the Left a 4 outta 10.
