This movie is a little extreme. First of all, there is only one house in the whole movie, so how can it be the last house on the left? And was it eve on the left at all? Next the whole rapping scene was wayyyyy to much. No one should have to watch that. Parents don't let your kids watch this. Espically your daughters if their younger than 13, maybe even 14. It's actually rather stupid. The end is pretty awesome though.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Last House on the Left
Parents need to know that this gory remake of the 1972 exploitation horror "classic" is absolutely not for kids (or anyone with a weak stomach), whether you watch the unrated version available on DVD or the theatrical version reviewed here. It's a nonstop barrage of bleak, terrifying, realistic, and raw scenes of sexual assault, bloody murder, and sadistic violence. And unlike many other horror films, where a supernatural entity is behind the bloodletting, here it's perfectly average people committing horrible crimes and acts of vengeance. Next to this bloodbath, the swearing, drinking, sex, and drug use may seem less egregious, but they're there all the same.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the impact of seeing so many violent images on the screen. Are movies like this scarier than those that feature supernatural or other over-the-top villains? Why or why not?
- What about the fact that the camera doesn't cut away from any of the brutal acts? How does that compare to other horror movies?
- Do you have any sympathy for the parents who are seeking to punish the criminals who victimized their daughter, or is their bloodlust as irredeemable as that of the movie's "bad guys"?

One of the better remakes of today!!
This movie I highly enjoyed. I put it off for a long time, I thought it would be just another bad remake. Wrong I was! It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Very gripping and realistic! Wish the rape scene was cut-out, it's very brutal and hard to watch. Really good scary atmosphere will keep your eyes glued to the screen until the end. NOT FOR KIDS or anyone under 17 at least!!!

loved it
I really enjoyed this movie it's one I did buy. I don't think it's for kids though. Theres a very brutal rape scene, a lot of random nudity (a girl walks into the room and takes her shirt off, a girl sleep naked) There's a lot of violence and gore which i'm a make-up artist so I don't mind scenes like that but examples are guy getting nose broken, girl getting stabbed in back and stomach, guy gets hand put down disposable, and guy gets head put in microwave. Theres also a lot of curse words used and a scene with teens doing drugs.

This Movie Isn't That Brutal And Should Not Be Seen If Your Under 15 Years Old

TRUE Horror! For the open-minded and horror lovers only
I personally enjoyed this film. It's not like most other horror films when the villan is a supernatural, mindless and unmotivated killing machine where all the deaths are predicable. It really asks you - Your child was raped, shot and left for dead, you have no car, the closest house is 6 miles away, and the criminals are in your home... What would you do? About the rape scene: Yes, it's horrifying, realistic, and barbaric, but you're SUPPOSED to hate it, making you hate the villians in the movie.

Microwave part was funny
Not a great movie. The rape scene went on forever with moaniong and groaning. This movie just flat out sucked. The acting was terrible. The only part i liked was the microwave end part.I thought that was funny.

WOW!!!
This is a very violent movie! Unless you like movies like SAW, then see it. This movie has very bloody scenes, violence, sex, and drug usage. I wouldn't advise this to any kid until they're a teen. It also kind of has a good message in it. Overall it's a fine movie if you like horror.

This movie is an amazing remake, but yet has very intence scenes. The kills are brutal including a blender, a hammer, and a gun etc. The r@pe is very graphic and it is very esay to tell whats going on but this shows what kind of people are out there. This is a ture story and that will very well add the intencity and the violent nature.THis movie also includs drugs and the under age teenagers smooking it. The language is shocing and inclueds the word of all bad words CU*T. Overall this is a great remake that is shocing emotional and terrifing movie.

Hoping there are other houses around the corner me and my family can visit.
First I would like to say the cinematography and acting is excellent, it made me feel royal. Unfortunatley I cannot say the same for my 10 year old son, Alex, who is still recovering from his fear of putting his dishes in the sink. I was relieved to see minimal nudity in this remake. The rape scene wasnt to bad and did not show much thank god, otherwise it may have had made things slightlllly akward between me and my son. I enjoyed this remake thouroughly, and hoping that there are more houses around the corner of the left me and my family can visit. PROS: Everything CONS: Krug and his company were not corteous enough to bring a fruit basket or give Mr.Collingwoods daughter a ride home.

Children can learn from this bountiful experience!
Wow! I never thought I would say this to a movie only belonging in the bloodbath section of blockbuster, but I was impressed. My eleven year old was being mean at school, or so the teachers said, and she was failing tests. One day recently I picked her up from school and said I was taking her to a movie. I then took her to this movie, and I must say I thouroughly entertained during this thriller. I was reminising the phony horror films I went to as a pure young thing with some fellows, but this was so real. My 11 year old was crying within the first five minutes! After that she has not gotten in trouble since, and even her guidance counselor says she has been reported to the office for crying in class! Worked like a charm!
