BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!

I was really excited this week to go see The Last House on the Left, that's why I waited till Saturday night to see it, hoping that the crowd would be large and enjoyable. Sadly there was only about thirty people there but it was still a good time. I'm only guessing here but maybe most people aren't excited to see a rape revenge movie Saturday night at midnight, but I'm not exactly most people.

First the trailers, sadly I was hoping for some trailers from that era but got the same ones as last week.

Now a plot synopsis, two girls are on a trip to a shady part of the big city to see a concert when they decide to try and buy some pot. That is when they meet two escaped convicts and their crew. They are then tortured and raped, then thrown in the trunk of a car. The car just happens to break down in front of the main Mari's house. The two girls are then taken into the woods across the street and then are raped again then killed. The killers then take solace in Mari's house, shortly after that her parents figure out that they killed her and take revenge. Mayhem ensues.

This is a good movie if you are into exploitation films, it's one of the more known films of that era.
Going back and watching it again there are a lot of really cheesy things with this movie and it's not all because of the dialog. The dialog is really bad, the actors do really good with the script but its badly written. It seems like Wes Craven didn't quite know how people actually talk to each other. To the music which is also really bad, is actually done buy the main bad guy and scene stealer, David Hess. Another drawback is that Craven liked to jump from a really intense scene, like someone being raped to some idiot cops accompanied by cheesy music. There are just so many small things that bugged me about this movie, such as ...

They want you to believe that this actually happened?

Your dad is totally checking out your nipples


This is just wierd

Yes they are doing it

The dumbest cops ever


They just happen to know exactly where to find there dead daughter


She made a break right for the pool

Also what is Wes Cravens infatuation with booby traps?
Why Would you go down on someone that you wanna kill?
How nice can a family be that is missing their daughter?
What are the odds of the criminals car breaking down exactly in front of Mari's house?

Now this is just great!

Listen to daddy. I want you to take the gun, and I want you to put it in your mouth, and I want you to turn around and blow your brains out. Blow your brains out, BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!

and he actually dose it!

That should do it for this week.
Next week: Poltergeist
