The night she arrives at the remote Collingwood lakehouse, Mari (Sara Paxton) and her friend are kidnapped by a prison escapee and his crew. Terrified and left for dead, Maris only hope is to make it back to parents John and Emma (Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter). Unfortunately, her attackers unknowingly seek shelter at the one place she could be safe. And when her family learns the horrifying story, they will make three strangers curse the day they came to The Last House on the Left.

Review:
Without reading its synopsis and solely based on the genre, i launched right into the movie.
I have to admit it was starting rather okay - i was greeted with psychotic killers and a mad girl whom kisses her victims. But after that initial few 20 minutes, it got into almost half an hour of lengthy kidnapping and constant terror. Which i felt was too draggy, despite the huge amount of tension and fear which was suppose to reflect the horror of the situation felt by 2 innocent young girls kidnapped by that same group of people (a family of psychos) and how they were brutally murdered (horrific slashing scene which hurt my gut) and while one was helplessly raped and how she bravely ran and swam for her life but was gunned and left to die in the waters...complete with rainstorm. The movie was well written - afterall, it was a remake of the previous film in 1972 of the same title but it was the cast that made the movie such a success. You can't add emotions and horror with just knifes and tears. They weren't very famous (as in everyone knew Bradpitt) actors and actresses but they did an amazing job. You do get affected and can't help feel for the two girls, their family members and be struck with cautioned to leaving your children out and about, or letting strangers into your house after that.
You might recognise Sarah Paxton whose a young budding actress whom i often mistaken as the actress for Clueless, Alicia Silverstone or the lady in The Notebook, Rachel McAdams
I can't help it, she looks innocently as Alicia and when she's all dressed up in the movie 'The Shopaholic' she resembled Rachel McAdams.
Moral of story? It gets back to you.
Question: Should the law protect innocent people whom commit manslaughter to avenge their family members or should they be guilty as charged?
9/10
Good acting, good thriller. many emotions with slashings. must watch
Horror: 6.5/10
Gore: 9.3/10 (hammer in head, exploding something.....ahem you might think twice on using your microwave oven)
Blood: quite alot. 7.5/10
