Last House on the Left (DVD, 2009, Checkpoint; Sensormatic; Widescreen)

I bought this movie thinking it came out in 2009. The movie on the case says 2009 but actually it is a remake of 1972 movie. It wasn't even made in 2009. I watched about 8 minutes of it and I couldn't take any more. So I just want to say Buyer Beware on this one movie.

Although the film may be heralded by many Wes Craven fans as a wonderful remake of an old film, I must agree with many who saw this film in it's unrated form, that it may just have stepped over the edge of decency.

All films try and tell a story about tragedy of evil versus good and the innocence taken away from others, but I think the killing and raping scene within this film puts it way under my line of human decency. Many scenes of this film where quite enough on their own, but showing cold blooded stabbing and rape of young innocence girls, goes way too far. The tenseness of the film was enough already, but why do we actually have to be shown this type of horror.

The desensitizing of our minds happens to happen slowly to the point where we think, oh wow, I guess it's not a good horror film unless you show the gore and horror outright.

I hope to never see anything so graphic again in my life and could not imagine the direction spending so much time showing the actual act for such a long extended period of time.

If you happen to spend time seeing this film, I would hope that you watch this with the intent of agreeing with me, however, it may not be that shocking to you as it was for me.

I'm going to give this film an average rating of 3/5 because of the content, yet the tenseness and scariness will probably keep you afraid of strangers from here on out.

I have the orginial version of this movie. The first make was bad, but remember that it was made BEFORE all the slasher movies ever came out. AND before the discovery that there could be money made on good horror movies. Anyway, went to see the remake in the theater and WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! The remake is 10,000 times better than the orginial! It is really intense and the bad guys really get theirs! It is not for the faint hearted, but any true horror fan will love the remake! Can't wait to own it again! Just beware because it is not clear which copy you will be getting here on ebay. The remake stars Tony Goldwyn (Dad), Monica Potter (Mom), Sara Paxton (Mari) and Garret Dillahunt as Krug.

the movie that i read in the reviews indicated that it was the new 2009 movie...when in fact it was an old terrible movie...will never order from you again. Would kindly prefer to return the movie for a refund.

it was a mistake to get the realy boring crap... never again...this movie was so old and the picture realy was poor. i thought that it would be alot better then it realy was. i was so mad after i seen this dum movie!! i hope no one else gets it.

The classic Last House on the Left is a wonderful addition to all horror film buffs' collection. I love this genre and the recent remake of this film perked my attention. I love the remake and made me re-love the original. This film has a lot of moments that people in that day would cringe over... not that we wouldn't now. I bought this movie because I wanted to have both of them, the new remake and the original. I love both versions... I am happy to have them.

Just to start with the release date is 2009 so you figure that it should be a reasonably newer film..It was made in 1972 with all of the horrible affects and horrible acting and the horrible back ground music playing..It is unbelievably boring and just totally sucks..I bought it from ebay and what should have happened is that the seller on ebay should have paid me to take it off of his hands..

I liked the payback could have been a little more crime pacific.

Did not like the r*** scene made me very angry.

Very good horror flick, highly recomend. A must add to your horror collection !!

The last house on the lift was pretty good movie!! This was the old verge of the last house on the left. The movie was scary, thrilling and good to see over and over agine.

like everbody else said, thought it was the new movie, but was the old one. bought from these guys before and never had a problem. dont know if i will buy from again. was very disappionted.

I love the fast shipping and delivery. The movie is great. Price's very reasonable. I have the new Last House on the Left, and it has been a long time since I seen the oringal one. And I decided to get the oringal Last House on the Left since I have Wes Craven's new one. Thanks, Ruby Ray

Beware this is the same movie made in the 70's but they changed the cover. The one coming out in August is the same I have already heard so save your money, its not what you think it will be. they are already preordering for the August 19th on ebay. Beware it is the same 70s movie with a different cover save your money. It SUCKS

I loved the premises that the victim wins for a change!!! Great movie for couples to cuddle up with on a saturday night.

An awesome classic horror film that will terrify you. A must have for any fan of horror, and thrillers!!

i like the movie, i didnt realize that it was the original one but all in all it was a good movie. it was in really good condition and wasnt damaged in any way. the movie had good picture to it to.

i really love this movie finding and purchasing was a dream thanks alot it was a steal and i couldnt pass up the chance to buy it thanks for the chance i couldnt turn it down!

I received the older original version and was very disappointed by the movie since 1972 does not compare to 2009 movies.

This film is quite dated. In it's time, it would have been a shocking film. But the scenes of torture seem quite tame compared to the brutal acts shown in the remake (Last House on the Left, 2009). Granted, the acts of torture in this version are more extreme. Unfortunately, we are not able to see them. So if you want a classic that was extreme in it's day, check it out. But if you need to see the torture, rent the remake.

I did not get this movie at all, thought it would be a little like the 2009 version and BOY it was not...I wasted good money on something that was not worth it, now maybe if the dumb music were not constantly playing it would have been better. Oh, and the actting was horrible.

well this movie, i bought it because the new one was out at the movies. my kids was going to see the movie ..well older adults.!!! anyways wanted them to see this original first . understand how this started .. scary !!!! knowing this could be you !!!! a true to life story.. haunting, mysterious!!!, edge of your seat flick. very tense movie...watch this before the new one though.
