November 11, 2009Surprisingly decent. I never cared one bit about her, but Monica Potter reveals herself quite a good actress. Who knew?

November 8, 2009Well I can only do so much with this one. Honestly I'd really like to see Wes Craven's original 1972 film to be able to compare, but considering the hype I've seen surrounding it, I don't think I have the stomach.

November 3, 2009Horror film gone wrong. The makers of the film got their education from WalMart. Shaky camera. Rubber props (fire extinguisher). Unrelated violence. I failed to see what crime the bad guys actually did, where as the parents were more evil than satan. Not so bad acting but if I ha...( read more)

September 28, 2009You are kidding me, right? This movie did not get made, and all that money wasn't wasted on this project, right? It was a dream I had, right? Geez I don't know -- I cannot fathom -- what made me sit through this entire thing. Arrrrrrrrgh! Makes Blair Witch look like <...( read more)

September 12, 2009Not bad, even though the whole story seems short a little. Interesting, worth the watch!

November 18, 2009As a summery i pretty much liked it and towards the end i was emotionally into the film wanting them to get their revenge, the ending though could have been better, perhaps...
The rape scene was highly uncomfortable, as bad as it is saying it, it was well acted. And for that pa...( read more) -

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Extremely entertaining if you don't mind being morally corrupted at every juncture. full review

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. full review

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. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Audiences with a brain cell left have only one choice: Look for the first exit on the right. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I'm giving it a 2.5 in the silly star rating system and throwing up my hands. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Gone is the original's early campiness, here replaced by eye-of-the-storm calm that portends tragedy, as well as its later over-the-top grindhouse gore, now swapped for taut suspense punctuated by vis... full review

I loved the last house on the left!!!! Although I never saw the original....this movie had me talking to the film, and totally in tune with what was going on.If you want to see a movie that keeps you interested....this is the one for you. The rape scene is a bit much, but if you can make it past that....the movie is great?

March 27, 2009I didn't hate it but it's neither better or worse than the original. It's just sort of slightly below average and the ending kills it.
