Shocktillyoudrop caught some interesting news about the ‘Last House on the Left’ remake.
Here is the synopsis for the upcoming film:
couple, on vacation at their lakeshore house, inadvertently give shelter to the sociopaths who have just assaulted and nearly killed their daughter.
Hmm…that’s interesting. ‘Nearly killed their daughter.’ I don’t mean to spoil this film for others who haven’t seen it, but if anyone has watched Wes Craven’s original terrifying film, you would know, the female leads do not NEARLY escape death. In fact, they are beat up, tortured, raped, and then killed.
It’s funny how people say that today’s movies are far more grisly than movies from past decades. In my opinion, I find that the seventies had far more terrifying and brutal films than we do today. Forget this ‘torture porn’ subgenre we have today. It doesn’t hold a candle to the stuff vigilante/horror films in the past displayed onscreen. ‘The Last House on the Left’ was one of those films that pushed the limit. You literally had to repeat after viewing it, “It’s only a movie. It’s only a movie.” It was a very dark film, and I have a strong feeling that the remake will not go as far as the original did, because audiences aren’t as desensitized as we are made to believe they are.
Although, Shocktillyoudrop.com also reports that the synopsis may NOT be true, and that the body count for the film is going to be ‘vicious.’
I don’t know if I will be anxiously awaiting this film. I’m still not over my ‘Girl Next Door’ viewing experience. :(
Your thoughts?
