Last House on the Left (2009)

Plot: After kidnapping and brutally assaulting two young women, a gang led by a prison escapee unknowingly finds refuge at a vacation home belonging the parents of one of the victims — a mother and father who devise an increasingly gruesome series of revenge tactics.

Review:

This is a gritty, intense, sad, terrifying and very well made film. It can be quite shocking but, aside from a misplaced final scene, always has a lot more going for it than just violence. The victims are easy to sympathize with,, the victims interesting, but when the roles are switched the films takes on a break neck pace that doesn’t allow for a whole lot of reflection, but keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Rating: 7.0/10
