Halloween Movie Month [The Last House On The Left]

Now I've seen the 2009  remake of this Wes Craven flick. Pretty crazy that Maggie picked this after I just watched Scream. I thought that was a pretty heavy flick, so we'll see how this compares to it's remake. Not saying that I liked the remake, but I've head good things about the original. It follows the story of Mari, who just turned 17, and her friend who go out to celebrate her birthday. As they were going to a concert, they decide to try and stop to get some drugs. Unfortunately they try to buy from two escaped convicts, their getaway driver, and a druggie they picked up who kidnap them. Now before I write anything else, I'm going to note how beautiful the two girls, her mom, and the fugitive lady are. First thing I thought when I saw 'em both. I know, I'm a guy, it's what I notice. But anywho, the music in this flick is pretty good. It's not just horror sounds and scare moments. There's actual songs and it adds to it for me. This is still a heavy movie, especially for it's time. The kills are nice and there's even a throw you off dream sequence that I liked. But it's the rape scenes (like in the the remake) are heavy and a bit hard to stomach. I really liked the opening scene, and there's even solid humor, mostly with the inept cops haha, sprinkled in throughout. I will say the ending was very, meh and boring for me though. But all in all I liked it, I think Wes balanced out the VERY dark scenes with fun stuff and good writing. TRY THIS. If you can get through the hard scenes it's a good movie. Much better, in my opinion, than the remake. "And the road leads to nowhere....."
