The music score was all over the place and think it should have had more menacing and suspenseful tones to it. Wes Craven's directing was pretty good and the outdoor scenes are wonderful. All in all a pretty good thriller from the early 70's...but I think the 2009 remake is alot better.

6/10

I actually like the cheesy 70s music.

Agree, David Hess' original music set the tone perfectly. And the score it itself is so goofy that it fits right in.

I actually like a lot of those rape & revenge movies, & I'm a woman & I've been raped, but they're strangely theraputic. This is one of the best.

"The Last House On The Left (1972)"....A very good suspense thriller with a few shocking and disturbing scenes of violence and bloody gore. The brutal slaying of "Phyllis" is disturbing. Lucy Grantham did a top notch job playing the character. Other standout is David Hess as "Krug". Such a menacing performance and have to say he is very handsome and has a nice body. Most of the cast is actually pretty good in fact. The music score was all over the place and think it should have had more menacing and suspenseful tones to it. Wes Craven's directing is pretty good and the outdoor scenes are wonderful. A pretty solid thriller from the early 70's...but I think the 2009 remake trumps the original.

7/10

I can't stand Last House on the Left. Oh sure it has some pretty shocking moments but it also has all the crap with the bumbling cops and the fun folky tunes. Did I wander into the wrong movie? At times It sure feels like it. In my opinion the inconsistency in tone absolutely destroys the movie.

Anyone heard about or seen Chaos (2005) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405977/ (not to get confused with Jason Statham Chaos (2005)

which is actually the first remake of The House on the left but change names in the movie, I have yet to see it.

I actually liked 2009 remake, i Thought it was really good, I don't remember much from this one, I need re-watch, I don't think i was to keen on it when I watching it!

I love this movie and think the hardcore violence and silly cops/music make it very original and entertaining to watch. I think this beats the remake all to hell.
