I guess, I was just expecting this movie to be super scary and super gorey, which was the primary reason, I didn't care for it. Mostly cause of the 'it's only a movie, it's only a movie!' But I'll definitely give it a second chance. Yeah I agree the scene with the guy yelling at his kid to kill himself that was pretty fucked up. nd it did have some good scenes.

I must have not watched the best version available either, cause I don't remember seeing the scene with the guy carving anything into the girls chest.

Although i like my share of gore and "scary moments", i do like a good movie that will creep me out. a movie that isnt necessarily horrific, but just something thats pyschologically creepy. there was an old movie, i forget the name, but the woman is blind and alone and theres an intruder so she smashes all the lights in the house to be on the same terms with the guy. it was a really good "old" movie.

i remeber this movie, it was awsome.

ya, it was good, the only light she forgot about was the fridge light. i remember that too

I enjoyed the film, quite disturbing for the time period that it came out in. I dont necessarily think that gore has to be first on the list when it comes to horror. And the guy yelling at his brother until he kills himself was interesting. If you have ever been in an dysfunctional family you can almost relate to the insanity that was going on there.

it's only a movie, it's only a movie
 

I basically was expecting it, to be 'scary' not just 'psychologically creepy'. But I'm definitely going to give it another chance.

Wait Until Dark

Last House On The Left
 

I just bought this film, and is was pretty disturbing. although I loved the ending with the chainsaw and all that.
waht r ur opinions on this film?

I managed to get an uncut copy of this movie back in the eighties just after the UK went barmy and started banning the so called "video nasties". You're right, it is pretty disturbing especially considering it was made in the early seventies and the subject matter was fairly taboo.
It has been re-released in the UK but I've read that it has been cut so I don't know how that has affected the strength of the film.
I have noticed the DVD packaging though and is very misleading to anyone who doesn't know about the film.
So basically if you don't like violence,degradation of women and low budget exploitation then you need to avoid this film.
For information this film was based on a 1950's Swedish production entitled The Virgin Spring set in medievel days and is a very good film,again considering the time it was made.

Wes's best film... he only has two good films. "Hills have eyes" And "Last House"
