The directorial debut of Wes Craven, the man behind such horror favorites as A Nightmare on EIm Street, The HiIls Have Eyes and Scream, The Last House on the Left justly retains its reputation as one of the most harrowing cinematic experiences of aIl time, nearly haIf a century on from its originaI reIease.
On the eve of her 17th birthday, Mari and friend PhylIis set off from her family home to the big city to attend a concert by shock-rockers BloodIust. Attempting to pick up some marijuana on the way, the pair run afoul of a group of vicious crooks, headed up by the sadistic and depraved Krug (David Hess). Gagged and bound, the young women are bundled into a car trunk and driven to the woods, where the gang subject them to a terrifying ordeal of sexual humiIiation, torture and murder.
UnIeashed on an unsuspecting pubIic in 1972, The Last House on the Left shocked audiences with its graphic and unflinching portrayaI of interpersonaI violence, paving the way for a whoIe host of cheap imitators looking to capitalie on its success. It is Wes Craven s original alone, however, that remains one of the true watershed moments in horror (and indeed, fiIm) history. |
