A Different Type Of Horror
23 December 2004
Real monsters don't have goalie masks or gloves with blades. Not to pick on these movies,they have their place, but "Last House on The Left" is not your typical horror movie. It is more disturbing than 'jump out of your seat scary'. To reap the full impact of this movie you should place yourself in the position of the two girls. You couldn't tell by looking at them that the creeps in this movie are capable of what they did. Unlike most horror movies, this is something that could probably happen, and similar things have happened maybe not moment for moment or action for action but they have. Young girls, women, and even children, have been abducted, raped and murdered unfortunately. Furthermore, I bet their parents or other family members would love to have the opportunity of revenge. Perhaps, the subject matter may even be a little too realistic and intense for some viewers.

Rather than hiding under the blankets, or jumping at every single noise like other movies, after this movie, I felt like crying. The girls seemed so ordinary like they could have been almost any teenage girls. There were things that I didn't like about the movie, such as, the soundtrack was very corny at points, and the camera work left something to be desired. However, I do not think that this movie should be just tossed aside for being 'not scary', so, not a worthwhile horror movie. Again, if you can stomach the subject matter it is definitely worth giving it a chance.
