An ugly, disturbing, passionately conceived cult favorite, Last House on the Left is much more complex (albeit crudely made) than its controversial reputation would suggest.

It isn't artistically adroit, but if success in this genre is counted by squirms, it's a success.

Top Critic
Craven's cold, flat style of filming emphasises the fact that the violence dehumanises not only the victims but the aggressors.
02/09/06
The party who wrote this sickening tripe and also directed the inept actors is Wes Craven.
05/09/05
Top Critic A estúpida tentativa de combinar cenas de violência realista com outras de humor pedestre anula o impacto do filme e nos leva a questionar a sanidade do jovem Craven.
02/21/05
A tough, bitter little sleeper of a movie that's about four times as good as you'd expect.

06/07/04
a supremely schizophrenic movie, alternating awkward scenes of bad comedy with gruesome and unsettling moments of violence that reach a nasty level of documentary realism
