The Last House On The Left

A controversial and nasty rape-revenge shocker when it came out, it nevertheless was defended by critics for being a standout amongst its kind for its uncompromising and raw treatment of violence against two innocent teens at the hands of some hardened and callous criminals.

Thanks to Paul for this long-standing request, selected by our Patrons. Coincidentally, The Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes share similar themes, but this one is stylishly directed by accomplished screenwriter David Koepp. We had nothing bad to say about it. Enjoy!

Touted by many as a “solid zombie movie” and reminiscent of Fulci’s far-better Zombi 2, we found it…well, a little dull and tedious. With one very notable exception…
