The Last House on the Left movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Ben Lyons, At the Movies: Boy, words can not express how much I just loathe and detest this movie. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: This film...is what it is: a stark story of bloodthirstiness quenched, first by the obvious antagonists, then by sympathetic, civilized characters who avenge the atrocities that have come before. Read more
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: I suspect the movie's sound designers deserve some kind of an award: thanks to them, the damage one can inflict with small appliances and a giant grudge is all too clear. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: Extremely entertaining if you don't mind being morally corrupted at every juncture. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: What registers now is the simple cruelty of fate, as unlucky coincidences lead to the direst of consequences. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: First-time director Dennis Iliadis spices up the visual style with unusual camera and cutting choices that liven the tempo beyond typical horror-movie cliche. Time will tell whether or not this Last House launches his career. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: Substitutes general 'intensity' for every thorny stylistic and political particulars that made Craven's film so singular. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Someone somewhere will probably try to foist The Last House on the Left remake off as some sort of social commentary. Don't be fooled. It's not. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: This remake plods to its finale. Read more
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: A shockingly mundane disappointment taken on its own and a deeply misguided refraction of the original. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Unlike the slew of Michael Bay- produced slasher remakes, this is not an idea-free flick. And Craven (shepherding producer on this remake) believes in character. More, he believes, in engaging what the word "horror" means. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: This remake is merely vile (and dull), with a badly miscast Tony Goldwyn as the raging dad who makes revenge for his daughter's violation look more gratuitously brutal than the crime. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: In this era of torture porn, this film seems intent on reconnecting audiences with the power and intensity of real-life, even quiet and casual creepiness. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: Its main goals are to shock, titillate, enrage and otherwise jolt your reflexes, which it does shrewdly and successfully. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: Last House on the Left is so stomach-churningly anti-human it makes you wonder why Goldwyn...and Potter signed on. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: The remake is much glossier but also takes place mostly in real time, using long takes, genuinely disturbing violence and stretches with no dialogue to pin you to the story. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: This is a horror movie that illustrates the difference between cringing and feeling. Read more
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer: The Last House on the Left is the best in the latest crop of slasher remakes. Admittedly, that is faint praise. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This film is only for those who go in with open eyes and understand what they're in for. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I'm giving it a 2.5 in the silly star rating system and throwing up my hands. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: Audiences with a brain cell left have only one choice: Look for the first exit on the right. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The action scenes are particularly gripping. Read more
Kara Nesvig, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Sure, the movie is predictable (a convenient storm causes power outages and therefore the dark house is creepily candlelit and who knows who's lurking behind the door), but it keeps its audience on edge. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: A deliberate, underplayed horror movie that is truly shocking. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Do not go to this movie if you simply seek entertainment. If you're a sociologist tracking the decline of civilization over the past four decades, you're in for a night of solid research. Read more
Nigel Floyd, Time Out: Dennis Iliadis's remake retains its ferocious power and provocative themes, and thanks to a focused script that unfolds in real time, it ratchets up the suspense and sucks us into a remorseless cycle of violence and revenge. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Not only is it plodding and completely predictable, the carnage is rendered slowly and quasi-reverentially, making the whole brutal experience come off like torture porn. Read more
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: It fails, through its villainy; this trio of baddies resembles a dive-bar slumming suburban psychobilly band, no meth-breath hazards. Read more
Mike Mayo, Washington Post: In the end, like virtually every other remake that has been released recently, it's polished and predictable. Read more
