This is an old Wes Craven production and one of my favorite films by him. This film is great it is about these weird people who abduct these innocent girls and torment them. That's about it, lol. But it is very good. If you liked "The Devils Rejects" then you will like this. I suggest that you go rent or buy it asap if you don't have it already.

I thought it was just ok.I would consider it a little more hard core then the Devils Rejects.

I think this movie is extremely overrated and amateurish. TCM was way more effective than this and was done on a shoestring.

I mean, I like LHOTL, but I wouldn't bother buying it on dvd.

I enjoyed it. Not as violent or depraved as people say. The ending was cool. I bought it for $6 new.

Not a bad debut for Wes Craven. Some interesting characters, acting, as well as the corny music. What others have said before me have been pretty much on cue. However, the trailer for the film is pretty dull, dumb, and quite annoying IMO; made me cringe a little!

I thought about buying this a while back, but the DVD was barebones and had the fucking plastic flap that closes the DVD. I never buy those.

The stupid fucking unnecessary comic relief cops pretty much ruined the movie for me.

I own this movie for two reasons. The first is that it's Wes Craven's first movie and the second is because it is the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. I've only watched it once and I will most likely never watch it again. It has everything that a gritty horror movie needs and then some. I give it 3.5 out of 5.

Yeah, I hated that. It was like, horror one minute, unfunny Brit comedy the next. (Sorry Brits, I just never understand it)

Why do you always recommend a buy in every thread?

I really enjoy this movie. It disturbs me and it's raw and gritty. One of Craven's better films in my opinion.

One of the only good Wes Craven movies. I actually own the soundtrack to this one and enjoy playing it once in a while.

I hate Wes Craven too, I think he's disgustingly overrated - although I did like Wes Craven's New Nightmare and The People Under the Stairs and all the Scream movies. I've been wanting to see Last House on the Left for a while now because the summary on Netflix sounds interesting, but whenever I think "early-Craven" I think The Hills Have Eyes, his original version, and it makes me dislike myself.

I'm right there with you on Craven. His stuff is ridiculously overrated. He relies too much on campiness and trying to incorporate humor into his movies and most of the time, it just doesn't work. Swamp Thing? Deadly Friend? Shocker? All movies that would probably been better in the hands of a different director.

I think it could've been a good movie, (the scene at the river is actually very good)but the ridiculous soundtrack RUINS it. Those goofy sound effects and stuff are too cheesy for me.

I think the soundtrack is one example of Craven's campiness actually working. Some of the songs on it are so ridiculous and over-the-top that you can't help but kind of chuckle at them.

I didn't like this movie at all. I don't like when directors substitute substance for cruelty. By not adding any element of thought provoking storyline to a movie its almost as if the director is indirectly assuming that im stupid and i dont appreciate that assumption. Dont get me wrong, I like the ultra-violent, silly movies ( dead alive, everything troma) but they are intended to be that way. Like hostel, this movie was cruelty and not much else but intended to be taken seriously. I am assuming when this movie came out it attracted a similar crowd as Hostel...dumb, meathead jocks who like to watch women be tortured for no reason. The only redeeming aspect of this movie was when the mom bit that guys cock off. Fucking gnarley.

Nice way making a blind-dumb assumption of people based on your own personal taste of movies. Really, bravo.

im just saying when hostel came out it seemed to get great responses from one demographic and it was annoying as shit. maybe that was just where i live or something. i dont know. i know that was offensive, sorry. but again way too many people who dont even watch horror movies made hostel the new standard for horror movies when in my opinion i really didnt think it deserved to be. last house on the left struck me the same way when i watched it.
