Make Them Suffer

"It's the last house on the left," says the father in a tired whisper.

The Last House on the Left, directed by Dennis Iliadis, was nuts. I liked it, I'll be honest, but it was crazy. Rated "R" for "sadistic brutal violence, including rape, nudity, language and some drug use," it packs a punch all across the board. Wes Craven has really outdone himself with his violent vision of reality.

Overall, the movie was well done. The only real complaint I have is the rape scene. A Clockwork Orange doesn't have anything on this. It was graphic and realistic and it was a little too long. In fact, it was entirely too long. I was uncomfortable through that scene; I guess I don't know of anyone who wouldn't be.

If you enjoy movies like Saw and Hostel, then this shouldn't be too bad for you. Like I said, the one scene is terribly uncomfortable, but the rest is brutal and filled with "holy shit" moments.

The trailer really does the movie justice. When you see the trailer for this movie and you think that it's going to be brutal and disgusting, you're right.

It's like a moving death metal song.

I would give the movie three and a half out of five stars. It wasn't bad, but there are just some things I don't want to see.
