It's only a movie.... Mari, 17, is dying. But the worst for her is yet to come. From legendary writer-director Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream) comes one of the most unnerving and shocking horror films of all-time, when his debut feature film The Last House on the Left arrives in a DVD Collector’s Edition February 24th from MGM Home Entertainment.

A collaboration with producer Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th), Craven’s 1972 classic is credited with introducing a sense of realistic and primal violence to the horror genre along with three of the most sadistic and terrifying killers to ever cross the big screen. “A neglected American horror exploitation masterpiece on a par with Night of the Living Dead” (Roger Ebert), The Last House on the Left Collector’s Edition is packed with all-new bonus features including commentary by actors David Hess, Marc Sheffler and Fred Lincoln and over 80 minutes of featurettes including all-new interviews with Wes Craven, a deleted scene featuring Mari dying at the lake, never-before-seen outtakes and Craven’s annotated shooting scripts, among others.

The Last House on the Left Collector’s Edition DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98 U.S. / $21.98 Canada. Pre-book is January 28th.

Synopsis: When two young girls are kidnapped and brutalized by a vicious group of escaped convicts, one of the victim’s parents takes matters into his own hands and seeks ultimate vengeance.

Special Features include:

- Widescreen feature film
- Audio Commentary with actors David Hess, Marc Sheffler and Fred Lincoln
- Wes Craven featurette
- Celluloid Crime of the Century
- Scoring Last House
- Tales that Will tear Your Heart Out
- Deleted scene – Mari Dying at the Lake
- Never-before-seen outtakes
- Wes Craven’s annotated shooting scripts
- Photo gallery

It's too bad it doesn't come out a little sooner for Valentine's day.

The cover, although marginally better than the 2002 release, is still not very good. It's misleading at best. Why do studios feel the need to modernize the artwork for a catalog film? What wrong with the original poster art? THAT would be cool. Play up the 70s connection instead of making it look like a direct-to-video slasher flick. Anyway, there are 2 bigger fish to fry: 1)What cut is this? and 2)What happened to the Craven/Cunningham commentary from the previous release? That release also had outtakes, deleted scenes and a couple of featurettes. Wonder how much of it is overlap.

Imagefix is right. I'm not "wow-ed" by the Special Features either. That deleted scene is from "Krug & Co.", an alternate (and censored) U.K. version of the film, already available on DVD in several countries. Also, WHAT CUT IS THIS? It seems to exist in about 6 different forms, but I'm gunna guess that this is the same 'ol UNRATED version MGM put to DVD in 2002. I think the new artwork is just O.K. It IS misleading - it makes it look like an early 80's Italian giallo, but it's still kinda cool for that same reason. But the original art is THE BEST, and suits the movie the best. -RHR

Yes, what freakin' cut is this, dammit? I remember doing a scene-by-scene comparison with the article from Gorezone (the original one, from the '90's) with the tape from my video store and everything was there. *shrugs*

I think the cover is absolute shit. It presents LAST HOUSE to be like the typical PG-13 horror film, which it isn't. They should've done an exploitation-style cover.

The original had a warning on the cover saying how fucked up it is (I'm paraphrasing). You need that warning back on there or you're going to mentally scar some people. And make sure they leave in the forced lesbian scene.

Am I wrong of did I see months ago when it was first announced that this editon was 2 discs. I only see it coming out in 1 disc? If I'm not mistaken Krug and Co, was going on the other disc.

All I wanna know about this disc is, is this a high definition transfer or at least an improved transfer over the last Region 1 DVD. If it is, then we can expect a blu-ray sooner or later, depending on how this dvd sells and how the remake performs in theaters.
