I know a disturbing movie I watched recently though, Headless. That's a pretty fucked up movie 😆. It's also Plex and yep I watched it this morning. After a night of nightmares 😆. I guess I had to see which was worse my sleeping or waking world 😆.

In 1978 Sean Cunningham was making family movies - I was a kid working on one of these when his friend Wes Craven was there visiting the set. We heard that Wes told Sean he might do better switching to horror movies, and Sean later went off to shoot “Friday the 13th”. I was invited to go with them to the New Jersey camp but couldn’t skip High School.

Well said. This film encapsulates what I love about the shift towards realism in horror around that era, as times were changing and real life horror was becoming a much more tangible subject. That's why the 70's is my favourite horror era (with other personal favourites including "I Spit on Your Grave" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", of course.)

I agree with you on your review of this movie. It is a very disturbing movie. I enjoy grindhouse, exploitation movies from the 70's especially the horror genre, but this movie was disturbing enough that it is on my "Seen it, don't want to see it again" list. Due to the fact of that it is a "this could be happening right now" movie is what make it so disturbing to me personally.

Anything that is an unknown entity has to be the scariest movie villain. Once there's a loss of mystery, or it has a set form, or can be explained, things in horror get less scary. Also, I really tried to like this movie, since it has such a fascinating place in horror movie history. However, I couldn't take some of the music placement and sound cues. That took me out of the movie more than cop scenes. It was only once the group made it into the house that that movie really feels like it hit its stride.

I LOVE this movie!!! From what I understand, the actresses who played Mari & Phyllis are both still living, but have always disassociated themselves, from the film, & have never appeared at any horror conventions. Steve Miner, yes that Steve Miner, also worked on this film. He played one of the guys flipping the cops off, while driving away. Justin, I hope you have plans to review both the Baby & Bad Ronald.

I dislike Comic Relief as much as Jump Scares. I despise it. It's the reason I can't get into Anime very much. The "comedy" in The Last House on the Left is a monumental mistake, in my opinion, and almost ruins the film for me. To make a Brandon Tenold-like joke, I don't think David Hess is acting. But even with the goofiness, Last House still a harsh and hard-hitting film.

I remember watching this when I was 19 on DVD back in the mid-2000's (at that point I was really getting into hard-R horror) without even knowing what it was really about and being so traumatized after the first viewing that I put it on a list of certain movies that I would only watch to remind myself why each film should be the last film I should ever have to watch. It was only later after I found out why Wes Craven made it, due to the turmoil that occurred at the time, that I began to have more respect for it, though I don't think I have fully recuperated from the shock of the first viewing. It was also the very first rape scene I ever saw, and this was before I even saw I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE or DELIVERANCE - ironically, the rape-revenge movie has become one of my favorite subgenres, with the FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION series and MS. 45 being in my Top 💯 Favorite Films. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, I actually prefer this and the original THE HILLS HAVE EYES to Wes Craven's other later films, with the possible exception of THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW and THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS.

Scariest villain for me: Easily George Eastman in "Absurd": I had nightmares after watching that flick for the first time... and I was arleady 17 at that point! ;-) BTW: I love both "Last Houses", Original and the remake. Can't say the same thing about the unofficial remake "Chaos", which is just an unpleasant nihilistic watch...

I have a question. It's also a recommendation actually. Lol Have you ever seen the masters of horror episode Incident on and off a mountain road? It has a villain by the name of moon face who is genuinely frightening It's not heavy on the gore as it's a TV show. But there's an excellent story. With a really good twist. If you seen it I would like your opinion on it.. And if you haven't I think you may enjoy it. Oh and by the way I love the little gag intros you do before each episode. That's some funny stuff man. It makes me laugh every time.

The scariest villain for me would be someone who could be real, someone domestic. Something like the husband in The Burning Bed or the boyfriend in Slingblade. Also one that just came to mind Robert De Niro’s character in This Boy's Life. Well this is just some schmucks opinion in the comment section.

No judgement of others, but I want my horror to be an escape. I'll take a crazy monster, gory Lovecraft, or supernatural slasher any day over something that reminds me of what happens to people all the time in the real world. It's the same reason I avoid true crime documentaries.

Firstly, to answer your question, as an overly logical person who'se really only scared of random acts of grounded violence, the strangers just get to me (as well as the Poughkeepsie Tapes killer). *Ramble warning* Secondly, being honest, I'm not the biggest fan of this movie. I still really respect it for both its willingness to get unflinchingly disturbing and also its impacts on the genre, specifically starting Wes Craven's career, since, like most horror fans, I do enjoy his work, though my favorites are his more underrated and/or unpopular work: Shocker, Cursed, My Soul to Take, etc. However, I personally find that the film really leaves me wanting more (and not in the good way). I think one part of it is a combination of constant over-hyping/discussion/analysis and my desensitization to rape-revenge films. Like we've had over 50 years of rape-revenge films since, so when I watched it, instead of finding it incredibly disturbing, I just found it to be a somewhat standard if shoddy rape-revenge film. Another part of it may be that I find it lacking in certain aspects compared to other rape-revenge flicks that have come out since. Usually, I'm the last person to complain about tonal inconsistency and whiplash. Like 99% of the time it doesn't bother me. However, for some reason, it just did here. I know this critique is often leveled specifically at the cops, but I personally feels it goes slightly beyond that. Like this serious and disturbing film has a non-diagetic incredibly chipper country bumpkin song about some of the most realistic and grounded killers in horror. Aside from that, I also find the actual revenge kinda unsatisfying. Like Weasel's castration is pretty good (if still, in my opinion, outdone my other rape-revenge films), Sadie's death is decent enough, but Krug's death is just so lame to me. Like I get it was probably a budget thing and I don't need it to be like "I Saw the Devil" levels of drawn out, but it seriously still dampens my relative enjoyment of the film. Now, I want to reiterate, I don't think its a bad film or anything, the acting's great (David Hess, obviously), its depiction of Marie and Phyllis' assault and murder is utterly emotionally devastating and, while it's not particularly my thing, I do admire its amateur and earnest grit. It's just that I feel that, since 1972, the rape-revenge genre has made a lot of films that took the groundwork of what Craven did and ran with it or did it in ways that I enjoy more. Once again, I don't think its bad, it just left me wanting more. For me, that "more" was the remake. Yeah, despite David Hess being borderline unbeatable as Krug, this is my preferred version. While the grit has been replaced with more professional polish, it still has that incredibly dusturbing quality to it, but with a bit more bittersweet optimism that I wholeheartedly welcome, especially how it alters the original plot with Marie surviving the encounter. To me, it added something to have Marie's parents fighting to keep their daughter alive as well as take down her abusers. Also, to a lessser extent, Junior surviving, but that's just me. I also find the revenge so much more satisfying than the original. Weasel's hand mangling and Krug's climatic cranial cooking are deservingly iconic in their ways, though Sadie's death (while better than before) is still only good enough. Just like Carrie, I'll never argue that its better than the original, but you'd catch me watching it far more than the original.

I don’t know maniac I like spit on your grave to the extent but you know what honestly I’m one of these people does the Wes Craven rest in peace man and a Sean cuttingham fanboy so I actually kind of like the one family members get revenge too. I know you’re different, but I don’t I I I kind of I think it’s a good thing. It’s unfortunately this movie is a lot harder to wash and spit on your grave I’m sorry this one is I don’t blame them. I’m sorry if I was a Dad that happened to my son or daughter I probably do the same thing and I know a lot of fans that have watched it would probably tell you that I’m sorry and Wes Craven even said there’s fans that talk to him years before he passed and they said yeah I’m sorry those people deserved it and I think that’s kind of why he did it. He did say that there were some people that said the killers were victims no they weren’t. They were just creeps. I’m sorry, but no I can’t disagree with your first comment on your video weather channel though.

If you remove that scene from the movie, it wouldn't make sense to do it, revenge wouldn't be anything compared to what it would be without that scene. Those years were different, years of freedom, sexual freedom, pornography and cinema were very close together, so much so that they helped each other on many occasions.
