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.

I am a fifteen year old, and I honestly can say that I love this movie, however I will say it's definately not a good movie for those who can't handle gore or feel uncomfortable with a rape scene in a movie. I think it's up to the parents. If I was a father right now I wouldn't have a problem with my kids watching it as long as they're mature and can handle it.

Last house on the left (2009)
First off this is not for kids, it's graphic sadistic violence, rape, sexual content and drug use and intensive continous scenes of intense peril and danger are not something you would want to share with kids below 17. The movie starts off with a brutal car crash and when Mari (Sara Paxton) goes to spend time with her friend Paige (Martha Macisaac) they get kidnapped by a villain called Krug (Garrett Dillahunt) and his company torments both and finally leads to killing Paige with a brutal way and savagely raping Mari. After the storm arrives and Mari escapes they assume they can seek shelter from the nearby house. They don't know it's her parents summer cottage, and after they realize who are the house's real owners they get in middle of brutal carnage and peril. Death scenes include severing finger with a sink garbage disposal shredder, blowing a hole into the head with a blunt hammer, shooting in the eye (results blood to flow on the wall as the victim falls). Blowing head off with a microwave and many other gruesome death scenes. Sexual stuff excluding rape is pretty moderate, the rape is very gruesome and girl is in continous pain. Profanity is present too. Not for anyone under the age of 17!

Not scary, but very violent!
I actually liked it. A well-written suspense thriller. Although brutally violent and disturbing, it's actually thriller. Common Sense got it wrong by calling this a horror multiple times in here. They don't know what horror is, really. Doesn't mean it's not a horror, kids can watch it. This film is recommended for adults only. 16 year olds CAN handle it.

A very well put together horror film, but adults should only see this.
It's mainly about a wife and husband who's teenage daughter is raped and beaten, including her friend whom is brutally killed by the three prisoner escapees. Then, the parents find their daughter who is told that she was viciously beaten and raped, which puts them at a desperate struggle to find the attempted killer. There is alot of graphic and brutal violence in this film, including the scene where one girl is graphically stabbed multiple times in the abdomen, and the other is raped by one of the three prisoners; one girl tries to escape by swimming in the river that goes up to her parents house, but is shot in the back in the process, but survives; one guy's hand is put in the garbage disposal which his hand is blooded and flesh on it is torn apart; a naked woman is shot in the head and blood splatters on the wall behind her; a guy is tortured by putting his head in a microwave and graphically explodes, with brain matter bursting out. Due to the extreme violent nature in this film, there is ALOT of very strong and vulgar profanity, mostly aimed at the two teenage girls (f**k, c**t, b*tch). The killers are heavy smokers and drinkers.

Great movie, and the parents didn't plan to kill them, it happened when they were looking for the boat keys!
This movie I really like, of course it isn't for kids, but I think it is suitable for 16 year olds and higher, why? because this doesn't show what already in high school people see and know, drugs, drinking, and violence(well ofcourse not this kind of violence like in the movie). People say the parents weren't role models because they should've just left straight to the hospital....Did anyone saw the movie??? they were looking for the keys but then one of the bad guys come in, hoping you will get lucky with the victim's mother. The father was also looking for the keys, but when he saw the tools he just had an instinct to grab it, but it wasn't like he was going to go and kill them, but then he saw his wife and well he went for it...and don't forget, they lost there son, and the fact that there only child almost died probably scared them! plus the bad guys saw the girl, so what should they do? obvouisly if they didn't kill them they would've killed them instead. What else are they suppose to do? they dont have a gun, and the bad guys do...I must add Monica did great in this movie, and so did Tony, and Sara!!! I never expected Sara to play in this movie so good since she played in a disney movie. By the way the rape scene wasn't that bad, I mean it wasn't something pretty to watch, but I didn't have problems watching it because I saw how they interviewed the actors and Sara explained how she was wearing a nude suit when she was acting in the rape scene, so after I saw the interview it wasn't that bad...P.S and don't forget the parents let the boy live!

Good :D
It's a pretty Good movie except for the rape scene. But all the violence is kind of disturbing. I can't ever think of a Garbage Disposal the same again and a Microwave.. But overall it's Pretty Good..

Whoa... Way to Extreme. Not Recommended for Anyone.
I must say that this horror remake may have gotten some fairly good reviews, but this one was way too much for me. First and most importantly: the infamous rape sequence; now, yes, I do understand why they did it: for horror effect. They wanted us to cringe, and it worked... a little too well. I have seen simulated rape before, even in good movies, such as Pulp Fiction, and I let it slide due to two facts: one, it was a good movie, and two, the rape was nowhere near as horrifying as this. Next, the gore: the gore was really extreme, but nothing you haven't seen if you've seen the Saw or Hostel franchises. Otherwise, be warned! Finally, the role models of the film: the parents who seek vengeance against the attackers. Now, although their actions are horrific and and uncomfortably planned out, it is arguable that the parents were giving the attackers what they deserved. I know, it sounds wrong to root for the torturers, but it's the lesser of two evils: either the righteous torturers, or the psychotic, sadistic, all around messed up rapists/killers. PLUS, this wasn't even a very good movie, so, really, what's the point? If you want to see a horrifyingly realistic and prolonged rape scene, many over the top gory deaths, and poor role models who see fit to kill the rapists in the most horrific manner possible instead of geting their daughter to a hospital, then by all means, watch this movie. Otherwise, rent something much better in quality and less in quantity (of rape). If you want to still be scared, then rent higher-class horror films, such as The Ring or The Shining, two fine examples of well made horrific terror. Well, thanks again for reading - Move Man

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!!!

This Movie Isn't That Brutal And Should Not Be Seen If Your Under 15 Years Old
This Movie Has Very Strong Language And Bloody Violence. Some Parts Are Brutal And Gory. This Movie Is More Gory Then Freddy Vs Jason And Watchmen.

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.
