I won't queue this film. At a drive-in theater with three other 16-year-olds, I saw the great big original. It was the first horror film I'd ever watched, and for several weeks afterward I slept with lights on and suffered nightmares about teeth & screwdrivers. As mild as the content seems to today's movie-goers, in 1972 Last House On the Left was a horrid awakening. Then, we were the youngest flower-children. We stopped for hitchhikers. We hung psychedelic black-light posters and watched the Carol Burnette Show. This movie was a frightening factor in prompting the growth of our newer, bewildered consciousness: There are HUMANS out there that can do these things to you, too. Was this review helpful? Yes

I enjoyed this movie. I was apprehensive to watch it b/c everyone said how disturbing it was. Don't get me wrong it was disturbing but I definitely enjoyed watching it. Gotta love Wes Craven. Was this review helpful? Yes

This is amovie from the greatest generation of horror, as I like to call it, which really means its a classic 70s horror movie like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills have Eyes, Halloween ect. Very ahead of its time in style, execution, rawness, and shock factor. First half of the movie with the 2 girls is pretty slow but never tedious and then the end is what saves this one. If the end had been like the killers nightmare this movie would have had a perfect ending and been in Eli Roth's or Takashi Miike's style. Over all worth checking out and maybe worth buying.

i'm a horror/slasher movie fan from this time period (70's)...i'm glad i didn't waste my money on this stinker back then....it kept getting more and more obvious that the filmaker was only half-heartedly concerned with the final product....don't waste you money. Was this review helpful? Yes

This is a disturbing film. It is a low budget, raw film, with disturbing scenes, though dated nowadays. The remake does not capture the disturbing nature of the antagonists that this movie is able to portray. A breakthrough film for the year it was made. Was this review helpful? Yes

If you can get past the really bad dialogue it might be worth watching. The blood and gore are nothing new for todays movie making and its a "B" rated movie at best. Was this review helpful? Yes

This movie was not great. Quality of dvd, music, and filming shows this movies age. Not extremely scary. Watched it since it is a classic horror film but would not watch this again. Was this review helpful? Yes

Classic or not, I hated it. It takes too long, the villains are ridiculous, although I must admit the revenge scene where the mom well... you know... heh... down by the creek is awesome, other than that, you just wanna smack the cast around and tell them to get real. I cant believe Craven made better films after this one.... I am glad he would go on to The Hills Have Eyes cuz this film is a complete load of dung. Was this review helpful? Yes
