Last House on the Left, The

 

USA 1972, 84 minutes
Dir. Wes Craven
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Horror / Controversy, Psycho

 

Aroview: Formerly banned in NZ and in many countries around the world, this disturbing film lives up to its notoriety with its documentary-like realism and streak of cold-blooded sadism.

Transposes the premise of Ingmar Bergman's "The Virgin Spring" (in which a young girl's parents avenge her rape and murder), into the unforgiving context of exploitation cinema, but it's too well made to dismiss as cheap and nasty. Think "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with the black comedy drained out of it, and don't say we didn't warn you...
