The 1978 sequel, The New House on the Left, may even be more reprehensible than the original. Whereas the murder site of the first film was a remote house, the scene of the crime in the sequel is a train (thereby negating the title). This film includes more rapes, more murders, and more revenge than the original --and, undoubtedly, more cash lining the pockets of the producers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Bryant Frazer, Film Freak Central
Pedestrian. Director Aldo Lado never ventures far down the more surreal or dreamlike paths favoured by his better-known compatriots in the genre arts.
Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com
Build up is deliberate, and we get to know our players thoroughly but not exhaustively. Score by the brilliant Ennio Morricone and cinematography by Gabor Pogany come together to entwine beauty with Lado's propensity for brutality.
Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine
The extras are skimpy, but the gorgeous transfer should please fans of this cult oddity.
James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk
reworks familiar material with enough gusto and thematic interest to make it worth revisiting
Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
One of the many films the DPP banned on account of being afraid that it would bore impressionable children to death.

Italian clone of 'The Last House on the Left' with events unfolding onboard a train en route to Italy via Munich. It's not as graphic as 'Last House' but just as disturbing and unsettling to sit through. It's a decent rape/revenge film, but like other films of this kind, too much time is focused on the sexual assaults rather than the actual revenge. Banned in the UK until recently, some of it's shock value has worn off but it's still sleazy and unpleasant to those easily offended.
