"The Last House On The Left" is an update to Wes Craven's
movie of the same name from (1978). It focuses on teenage
Mari (Sarah Paxton.) She's on vacation with her parents
(Monica Potter, Tony Goldwin.) ***
Of course, if you have seen the original, you will know
that the house in which the family is staying in will play
a very important role in the last act of the movie. She
(Paxton) decides to make a fateful trip into a nearby town
with her friend, they encounter trouble and are left for
dead by a group of thugs who rape and abuse them. . ***
Of course, once the parents find out what happened,
they try to get vengeance upon the criminals. I won't reveal
how the thugs get theirs, but think "Saw" meets "Death Warrant"
and you'll get the idea. Yes, they do die most horrifically,
or as the new movies tag line said, "How Far Would You Go
For Vengeance?" ---
Image and Sound:
Overall the picture quality is good. It has some heavy
grain to it at times, but through and through the detail
is quite good. I wouldn't put this in the upper tier of
Blu-Ray transfers of recent films, but it's still solid
throughout. Audio gets the job done and then some, only
being loud when it needs to be. All in all a good transfer.
