	Last House on the Left
		For those of us who remember Last House from the early years, the biggest surprise in revisiting it today is realizing how much it has aged: the bell bottoms, bushy sideburns and clunky cars all serve as a reminder that thirty years have passed.
		Last House’s really disturbing moments are the scenes of sexual cruelty: Phyllis being forced to “piss (her) pants”; Mari being raped by Krug; the two girls being tormented and stripped in the woods.
		Last House is presented on a two-sided disc that offers the option of watching the movie in widescreen (1.85:1, enhanced for widescreen TVs) or standard.

	The Last House on the Left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Last House on the Left is a 1972 horror film written and directed by Wes Craven and produced by Sean S. Cunningham.
		The story of The Last House on the Left closely follows that of Ingmar Bergman's classic film The Virgin Spring (1960), an Oscar winner for best foreign language film.
		The Craven film was controversial for its graphic (for the time) depiction of violence, and also for the manner in which the villains imposed their psychopathic and sadistic will upon the victims.

		Last House on the Left - The Storyline
		Last House on the Left is a powerful film to say the least, but what many people do not realise is that the film bears a close relationship to the films "The Virgin Spring" by Ingmar Bergman.
		Last House on the Left takes the forest setting and story of rape and revenge from The Virgin Spring and transports them into a modern tale of crime, drugs and rape.

	Last House on the Left (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Unlike the aforementioned films, LAST HOUSE was meticulously fabricated by a young Wes Craven (in his debut film) and producer Sean S. Cunningham to disturb.
		This minor cavil aside, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is an exemplary low-budget gut punch.
		LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is simultaneously the nadir and apex of graphic horror: it showcases the grimiest depravity with such subtle brilliance that Craven would never be able to top it for sheer intensity, purity, and honesty.

	Eyes on the Hills ~ View topic - Hills have eyes Vs Last house on the left (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Last house has a more sadistic edge, in that aspect it surpasses hills, but the hills characters are more out there.
		Last House was good but the acting wasnt as good as Hills and I find it not scary at all.
		Last House wasn't what I'd call scary, either, but I found it a lot more disturbing because the plot - at least for the first half of the movie - was more plausible.

	DVD Savant Review: The Last House on the Left
		Last House is different from previous terror sieges like Lady in a Cage in that it tears up the assumed 'contract of politeness' with the audience.
		But The Last House on the Left is first and foremost an exploitation film - even the viewers sobered by the horror in the woods, respond like a vigilante mob in cheering the slaughter at the house.
		Just as in Last House on the Left, the dozens of youths are humiliated and tormented in appalling horrid and unwatchable ways, individually, and in groups, and finally slaughtered in a circus of scalpings, eye-gougings, and the like.

	Last House On The Left / **** (1972)
		Like "The Exorcist," "Last House On The Left" exploits our deepest fears, so violently and repugnantly that afterwards we are forced to watch a movie more cheerful so we don't have a feeling of sickness flowing through us.
		After the four clean up, they seek shelter at the nearby house of Mari's parents, who are unaware that these are the sadistic people who killed their daughter and her friend.
		During their stay, Mari's mother, played by Cynthia Carr, discovers a chain around one of the killer's necks (his name is Junior, by the way), and it happens to be the same chain that Mari's parents gave to her the night before.

	Last House on the Left Review (1972) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Like Bergman’s The Virgin Spring, the film whose basic structure Last House follows, the killers coincidentally find themselves at the house of their victim’s parents, in this case Mari’s oh-so-sensible parents (very averagely played by TV actors Gaylord St. James and Cynthia Carr), who learn of their crimes and inflict bloody revenge upon them.
		Last House on the Left nevertheless remains an important film, and one does have to admire the unflinching determination with which Craven and Cunningham have tried to confront the horrors of sexual violence.
		Controversial shocker Last House on the Left set him on a path of horror movies, the best of which are The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The People Under the Stairs, New Nightmare and Scream (which revitalised the slasher genre).

	Monsters At Play: Last House on the Left Review
		Last House is one of those films I never thought would've surfaced on DVD let alone in a budget priced yet seemingly full-blown special edition.
		Last House is an extremely important piece of genre filmmaking and it's never going to go away.
		Last House was shot on an extremely low budget (Super 16 and then blown up to 35mm) and has suffered from such an uneven history that obtaining a near perfect/complete print would seem virtually impossible at this point.

		IMDb > The Last House on the Left (1972)
		While I think that people tend to get a bit hyperbolic when they talk about The Last House on the Left, I do think it's a fairly good film, especially given what the filmmakers were trying to do and considering their lack of experience, the era and the budget.
		Just as surprising on a first viewing is that The Last House on the Left has an intermittent goofy sense of humor and a "groovy" attitude that is firmly mired in the early 1970s.

		VIDEO: MGM's transfer of Last House is as complete as its creators can make it, and it is as good a transfer as it can be, given that the film was shot by just-beginning professionals.
		One aspect of Last House is how surprisingly musical it is. Often, the music runs counter to the tone of the scene, such as when Mari is raped.

	The Last House on the Left
		This is a central theme in The Last House on the Left.
		The Last House on the Left is a reflexive film that comments upon itself (mainly in the guise of pretending to be a remake of The Virgin Spring).
		In fact, I would suggest that The Last House on the Left rarely occupies an archetype in any meaningful way and that the archetypes it trades in are too obscure to function in the way horror movie archetypes should function.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Last House on the Left Movie Review
		As flawed as it is, it's amazing that Last House on the Left manages to be such an emotionally shattering experience.
		Last House on the Left begins like a relatively lighthearted coming-of-age story with flashbacks showing Mari Collingwood (Sandra Cassel), the daughter of upscale small-town parents, becoming friends with Phyllis Stone (Lucy Grantham), a tough city girl that Mari's parents don't like.
		Often foolishly condemned as sleazy exploitation, Last House on the Left is uncompromisingly honest in depicting the ugliness of violence and the emptiness it leaves behind.

	Boleskine House - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Boleskine House (boll-ESS-kin) was the estate of Aleister Crowley from 1899 to 1913.
		One must have a house where proper precautions against disturbance can be taken; this being arranged, there is really nothing to do but to aspire with increasing fervour and concentration, for six months, towards the obtaining of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.
		Thus, the location of Boleskine House is to be the Omphalos or Center of Power for Thelema, and is to continue as such for the duration of the Aeon of Horus, regardless of the physical presence of the Stèle or of the house itself.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972)
		The Woods and the Animals in Them: The reason LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is remembered, indeed is difficult to forget, by most of those people who have seen it is the ever-escalating torture, rape and murder in the woods.
		I can't help but wonder if her reactions were because she had pulled herself so completely into the role, or because the others appeared to have done the same, or were a combination of the two.
		All in all, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is not as good a film as it could have been, but it is as disturbing a film as it was meant to be and it is a landmark—albeit an ugly one—in cinema history.

	Last House on the Left
		Before he was known for the Scream trilogy and the Nightmare on Elm Street series, writer-director Wes Craven made a bloody imprint with his directorial debut, Last House on the Left (1972).
		A no-budget, exploitation update of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring, the story concerns the brutalization of two teenage girls (Sandra Cassel and Lucy Grantham) by a quartet of on-the-lam murderers, and the inevitable revenge exacted by one set of parents.
		Relentlessly pushing the envelope of depravity, Last House both outraged censors and delighted midnight movie fans upon its release (a scene in which a victim is forced to urinate on herself, for instance, is particularly disquieting).

		LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is a tough, bitter little sleeper of a movie that's about four times as good as you'd expect.
		There is a moment of such sheer and unexpected terror that it beats anything in the heart-in-the-mouth line since Alan Arkin jumped out of the darkness at Audrey Hepburn in WAIT UNTIL DARK.
		What does come through in LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is a powerful narrative, told so directly and strongly that the audience (mostly in the mood for just another good old exploitation film) was rocked back on its psychic heels.
