Review by: Stacey

I'll save you the tired ass "remake vs original" argument that everyone has every second of every day, and just get to it.  The original The Last House on the Left (which was actually my first review for the site 2 years ago!) was grim and brutal is still hard to watch for some of us (although it boasts one of my favorite horror soundtracks).  I don't think it's on many folks' Top 10 lists, not for the content, but because simply, it's not very good.  That said, it's maintained it's cult classic status with many of us horror fans and it's lasting power is a testament to Wes Craven's earlier works.

And then, in 2009, we got our modernized version of the film.

Horror Huddle: Wes Craven

We decided to hold off on our horror comedy episode until next week in light of the recent passing of horror legend, Wes Craven, and give you guys a quick video where we discuss some of our favorites from the beloved director.

Thanks for watching!

I couldn't think of a better first review than Wes Craven's directorial debut The Last House On The Left, could you?  You may not share the same opinions as me or the same taste in horror movies as me, but that's okay!  We all share the same LOVE and appreciation for the horror genre and that's what matters.  This is going to be a fun and gorey adventure for all of us and maybe we'll learn a few things from each other along the way.  Now let's start, shall we?
