My Mom recommended this movie to me. She said she saw it when she was on date with my Dad and was so scared she had to leave the theatre. I rented it a few years back and watched it with my best friend. It was scary, nothing I lost sleep over but it was pretty messed up. I recommend you watch it, just be ready to be disturbed.

Horror master Wes Craven's first film. Made on a small ( very small budget) in the beautiful state of Connecticut.

Pretty disturbing film.Even for today's standards of film.

Great for horror fans ; even more so for Craven fans.See what he made before Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream!!

think low budget horror flick and you won't be disappointed. this is a classic; one of wes craven's first movies. you all know the story: middle class household, things start to go very wrong, a lot of people die. but no one does it quite like craven.

Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter will star in Rogue Pictures' "Last House on the Left." Dennis Iliadis is on board to direct the remake of Wes Craven's seminal horror film about escaped convicts who take two teenage girls hostage and then take refuge in one of the girl's home after leaving her for dead. Mark Haslett, Carl Ellsworth and Adam Alleca penned the screenplay. Craven is producing alongside Marianne Maddalena and Sean Cunningham. Shooting is scheduled to begin this month in South Africa. Multihyphenate Goldwyn's recent acting credits include "The Last Samurai." Potter most recently appeared on the bigscreen in "Saw."
