Last House on the Left 1972
 

This is the 1st time I have seen this movie. Its about 2 girls going to a concert in New York, but before they make it their they try to score some weed. But they dont realize that the guy they are asking is the brother of one of the 2 escaped convicts who broke out of prison earlier that day. Well, anyways they go up to his apartment and the so called torture starts. I wont leak out anymore info just incase you want to view this movie.
Its kinda slow. Not much gore. Some blood here & their.
3/10 score
Worth a rental
I wouldnt watch it again
Remember what I like or dislike, you might or might not!

Ispit on your grave was a lot better......

No way, classic movie. Revolutionary for its time.

not much gore? Yeah...you probably saw the edited version. Get the uncut theatrical release. Krug carves his name into that one chick's chest, and they disembowel the other one.

Uh, what I am trying to figure out is WHY you are describing a movie which almost EVERYONE has seen? You sound just like that one idiot who waltzed in here and started "informing" people what the motivation was behind The Exorcist. All I have to say is NO SHIT! It was made in 1972? REALLY? Ya' think? There was no remake, ya know. It was made over 30 years ago, everybody already fucking knows what it is, what it's about and when it was made!!! So STFU!!!!!! This is a fucking horror forum, for God's sake. It's not like your telling anybody anything that they don't already know. DUH FUCKING DUH!!!!!

Geeeeeez Where do these cocksuckers come from?

Portland, Oregon

Well, remind me never to go on vacation there. LOL

I havent seen it, and rubenmania was just reviewing the movie, when most people review movies they explain what happens.Look at http://www.houseofhorrors.com thats a great horror site with horror reviews and they tell you they basic story of the horror movies they review because that what alot of people like to know, what the movie is about to see if it would interest them.

I have the full version of the last house but I liked I spit better I'm not sayin the last house is crap but come on the dick was bad enought.....

I havent seen Last House on the Left or I Spit on Your Grave,ARGH i want to see them.

well don't watch the uk version, they are both cut.

I personally think they both sucked. They also lose their shock value after the first viewing.

Sleepaway camp, however, always freaks me out at the end.

Only get gore dvds on inport don't trust the bbfc thay suck

The dick in which one?

I spit on your grave

it was ok


P.S i changed my signature that would be a funny movie

I absoloutly loved last house. for the longest time i thought that tcm was the first to push the boundary but then i saw last house and i was shocked on how realistic it was it definetly gave me a new respect for craven

I was surprised that Ebert gave it a near perfect score (Btw, if anybody can find his review of it, you'll get 80 cookes). That's why I kinda tend to not take "OMG Ebert hates horror he sucks!" stuff seriously. I think he was the only one who gave it a good review period, too. I think they said there were like 2 good reviews of it.

Krug and Co. is great... anyone who watches this movie needs to see the uncut version..

Well, I saw the uncut version and it is still a lame movie IMO. The corny music just ruined it for me, along with the "Mayberry-ish" policemen.

yeah, it would've been better without the comic relief. But no movie is perfect. (Except Memento, Godfather, 12 Angry Men, Casablanca and Taxi Driver of course)

I wounder what happend to the mother and father when the copper walked in and found him with the chainsaw, did have the chair or did he turn a blind eye...

Both Good.
 

Overall, I think I like "I Spit..." much better. I can't put my finger on why exactly I think so. Perhaps it was the location and overall look of the film. Not sure.

However, "Last House..." had a better revenge (IMO, of course). Now, it was not as creative, but I think it was more satisfying. My guts were churning when the parents invited the killers into their house as GUESTS!!! It was soooo satisfying when they realized who the guests were and then they... well... you know!

I was the one who talked about the Exorcist thing. ;)

Hey, you called me an idiot! :mad:

And you called me a cocksucker!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh, that was you? That was a really lame thread, by the way.


EDIT: That wasn't you. I just checked and it was created by some shithead named "boobmop." I was talking about The Exorcist thread in THIS forum, not the general area.

I think the revenge in Last House was earned more than in I Spit. Granted, whether or not it was earned is beside the point of the revenge horror genre entirely, but it's at least somewhat of a factor

I prefer Spit. I don't know, Last House just never appealed to me. I have tried many times, to watch it and understand why some people think it's so great. It was one of those movies that I had heard a whole lot about, especially from my Mother; she went to see it at the theater when it first came out. Anyhow, there was this huge buildup of how "awful" and "shocking" it was, but when I saw it, I had to do my best to keep from laughing at the general stupidity of the film. Bad acting and worse music. It just will never be my cup of tea. I think Spit was far more entertaining and, dare I say it, more realistic.

Last House on the Left
 

I just watched 'Last House on the Left' for the first time. Now from what I've read this is the film, where you're supposedly telling yourself 'it's only a movie, it's only a movie'. WTF? Where's the gore? Where's the startling ending?

IMO this movie sucked

the movie was decent, why should there be a startling ending? and why does a horror flick necessarily have to have gore? as long as the story is well written and paced its good enough

excellent movie and very underrated. Deserves far more credit then it receives.

i liked at the end this "horror" flick as the credits rolled they played this happy fun-time music, that amused me, im easily amused

I think when you consider the time period, (early 70's) it was pretty gory. I read an interview with Wes Craven were he said they used pig intestines for the special effects. I also think the psychological aspect, (abduction,confinement,murder) was pretty relevant to society's fears at that time, Manson murders etc...

As far as good or bad. It was OK, if you are a Wes Craven fan you should make a point to see it.

I liked the Keystone-esque Cops.

i thought it was a fairly good movie although i spit on your grave was much harsh and better recieved than last house on the left

Well, if nothing else it's the only 70's revenge horror pic to actually be GOOD (you know, by movie standards instead of geek-show standards). Also, it depends on what cut you get. If you get the good one, then you get to see them disembowel Phyllis, and Krug carves his name into Mari's chest (Which, for some reason, is just so awesome. It's probably one of my favorite villainous acts ever. Another great one is him yelling at his kid until he killed himself. Briliant.). As far as shocking endings go, horror movies USUALLY had happier endings. And if they didn't, it was more "monster comes back and/or kills hero in the end" type unhappy. This was a whole new type of unhappy. The killers didn't come back to life or kill the girls then the parents. The parents went nuts and maimed, electricuted, slashed, fellated, shot at, and castrated them, and ends at the exact second the weight of what they did hits them. It's nothing new now, but give them some credit, at least, because they didn't do it because it was expected of the genre or anything.

i saw the movie not too long ago, and given all the hype around it, was expecting a whole lot. "i spit on your grave" was more in your face, gratuitous violence, really aiming at just shocking the hell out of people. with "last house on the left", it's a bit more subtle, for lack of another word, but a whole lot more perverse. that scene that sam mentioned with krug yelling at his son to kill himself is really intense, and when he orders the girl to piss oh herself... really quite twisted. and the cheery music throughput the film just makes it even more twisted. so imo, it's a must see. not great, but a good movie nonetheless.

Plus, Last House has something no other revenge movie has: Krug. Krug was the shit. From what I've seen of them, revenge movies usually concentrate on the person getting the revenge so the villain usually is pretty basic. Rape, beat, kill, immasculation, death, credits. Wes actually made Krug a GREAT movie villain, one that will unfortunately always be overlooked because of the nature of the movie

on the new site, Ebert has a great review of the movie.

i liked this movie, not as good as i spit on your grave which has to be the best exploitation movie ever

Agreed. Another good movie is The Hills Have Eyes. It was kinda stupid in the ending. But still a decent film. A real classic. Remember throught all the years of Horror.
