The Last House On The Left (2009)


This is a remake of the the original movie which was written and directed by the horror legend Wes Craven (Nightmare On Elm Street, Scream). The movie is about two girls that run into something you never ever want to run into and that is a group of paranoid, homicidal, runaway fugitives. The girls are then brutally beaten, raped, and left for dead. This movie isn't for everyone as some of the scenes are hard to swallow. The movie stars Sara Paxton (Superhero Movie, Sydney White) as Mari and Martha MacIsaac (Superbad, Ice Princess) as Paige and they are the two girls who run into the trouble. The criminals are played by Aaron Paul, Riki Lindhome, and Garret Dillahunt. After doing their deed they by chance end up going to the house where Mari's parents are and they have no clue that there housing the criminals that raped and beat their missing daughter until one of the break out performances from Spencer Treat Clark (Mystic River, Gladiator) who plays Justin, a son to one of the criminals who leaves a clue for Mari's mother to find. Justin is torn between doing what his father wants him to do and what he wants to do. Mari's vengeful parents are played by Monica Potter (Saw, Along Came A Spider) and Tony Goldwyn (Kiss The Girls, Ghost) who play Mr and Mrs Collingwood respectfully. That point is where the movie gets really good. Who will survive and who will die. Vengeance is a dish best served cold. The Movie is brutal and I warn you of that but it was a decent movie. Three Stars Out Of Five
