LOL
Yeah, I saw this about a year ago and was massively dissappointed.
Subject matter aside, it's really ineptly made (maybe that was intentional?). Not a good movie IMO.

When you were a kid? What kind of sick parents did you have? Maybe the same as mine. the were very strict, except I could watch any horror movie. I think they didn't know how much horror had changed from the 50's. Anyway I thought this movie was alright. I am happy he has improved with age & experience.

I saw this when I was younger and liked it, and then saw it fairly recently and couldn't believe that I liked it. I guess tastes change with age, at least my tastes anyway.

I remember there's a scene in that movie that's MST3K bad (well lots of them probably LOL).
It's during the chase sequence in the woods. At one point they cut back to the killers, who are sitting down (?!). Then the actors suddenly get up and start running again (having realized Wes is shooting!) LOL Can't believe they left that in the film!

This movie was HORRIBLE. Bad, bad, bad. It's as if Satan one day decided to make a movie. Actually this what I like about this movie. It's Manos grainy and inept, but really is a snuff movie.(though not a real one). So it actually feels very queasy and disturbing. Craven never has been a good director. While slicker, Nightmare on Elm Street is not particularly good. Scream is way overrated too. I didn't think it was as clever as most said, and the directing was just...average. And to those who watched it as a kid: I hope you were at least in your teens when you saw it.....wow.

Wes Craven seems intelligent, but he's never made anything that good. I felt The Hills Have Eyes was better than Last House on the Left, both have that grainy snuff film quality to them - but Hills Have Eyes is simply done better - Last House was just painful to get through - ugly, nihilistic and inept. You're right, it's like a bloody version of Manos. I saw Red Eye recently, and that may be his best movie. Top knotch suspense in that one (although it's overall a pretty stupid film). I didn't care much for Hills Have Eyes. I kept waiting for it to be frightening or disturbing and it just plodded along. He could have done a lot with the set up and atmosphere but didn't.

Am I sick because I actually enjoyed this movie? I liked I Spit On Your Grave too. I'm a bad, bad girl. :-(

Re: Last House
I have to quote Dorothy Parker and what she said about Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass: "Well, it isn't really very good, but it IS all we have."
And when it first came out, it was all we had.

Yeah I love Last House, I Spit on Your Grave, Ms. 45, et al. Put me in a straight jacket I guess....
