The Last House on the Left [Unrated] [Collector's Edition] [Blu-ray] [1972]

Pros: Artwork Cone: Everything else about it!!! Not even a B-movie. Looks like a home video movie with horrible cast and lines.

Lets be honest, if you're buying this movie on blu-ray you already know what to expect. Some bad acting, awkward comedic scenes, graphic violence. It's old, it's beat up, it's extremely low budget, as another review pointed out yes there is an abundance of grain and things of that nature. Thank god for it, there's no DNR or anything like that added to the film, you're seeing it the way it was meant to be seen. But keep in mind this is an old movie, this certainly isn't demo quality, not something you'd want to pull out to impress your friends with your high-def setup. If you're like me, and you own the 2002 dvd release, this is definitely a worthy upgrade for the extra features alone. (2 commentaries, multiple featurettes, deleted scene, etc.) The film also has a better (not by much mind you) transfer. Last House on the Left is a great exploitation film that "inspired" films like House at the Edge of the Park, Last House on Dead End Street, etc. David Hess does wonderful in his role and did a great job on the music in the film. Just do some research and know what you're getting into before you blind buy a film like this. For the price, this is a great deal, my one and only complaint is that the blu-ray doesn't have a menu, everything is only accessible through the pop-up menu when the film is on.

1) For the time this was made, I can see why it is held in high regard. It fits in well with other films of the same period. 2) In this day and age, it is fairly sedate. The remake is more in line with today's standards of violence/gore/horror. I'd have to say that the remake is better than the original. 3) Definitely worth seeing at least once, especially if you like the films of Wes Craven.

This comes with a limited edition print. Has commentary from the cast as well as both directors and producers. A few short movies packed in the extras as well as behind the scenes. There are some deleted scenes and forbidden footage. Outtakes and at 1.85:1 format region 1 (A) at a running time of 84 minutes.

All together a pretty average film. If you've seen the remake you owe it to yourself to see this. In my opinion the remake is better. The soundtrack is a bit cheesy. The resolution on this is improved over the DVD but could be better.

I get that this is a cult classic, for its time I'm sure it shocked a lot of people. Some of the music feels off considering the content. I didn't hate it but I think I prefer the remake better.

A grueling horror classic from the legendary direct Wes Craven. The film that really kicked off his directing career. It’s a very raw and shocking film from the 70s era

The original is Awesome. I watch it then the remake. Highly recommended
