Last House on the Left (2009)

[IAmNietzche]

Usually I hate remakes but this one looks pretty good.

[marrost]

You know better.

[IAmNietzche]

You know better.
Have you seen the trailer? You don't think it looks pretty good?

[IAmNietzche]

Oh man, and the director directed Hardcore, that movie was awesome.

[marrost]

I do. I like that Garret Dillahunt is in it. I just try not to even form an opinion on remakes until after I've seen them at this point. I've been let down by so many good horror trailers.

[You Vandal]

Looks good to me. Who is covering Sweet Child of Mine at the end?

[secretsociety92]

Not seen the original but it does look good but I haven't enjoyed a new horror movie for a long time so I will wait before I start getting excited.

[TJ Wells]

I hate the original SO much. Textbook example of just being sick to be sick.

[immorehxcthanu]

I haven't seen the original but I may go see this one.

[marrost]

Except you could easily tell that movie would suck from the trailer.

[Maxwell]

trailer didn't impress me too much until the last scene where the guy was paralyzed with his head in a microwave...

but then i realised microwaves dont work with the door open.

[cahrishurr]

Well the original is awful so hopefully this one is atleast a few steps above awful.

[fake empire]

I like the original, fuck the haters

[TJ Wells]

It was 70s exploitation. That was the point.
Yes but good 70s exploitation (see: I Spit on Your Grave) films were entertaining as well, even if they were fucking sick (the castration scene makes me sick every time I think about it).

Yeah, I am going to go with you on this one. Especially because the scene in the spoiler tags. Truly gross, just to be so.

[marrost]

Oh please, i spit on your grave was a cheap piece of shit, and has less story and more of what you claim to hate about last house.

[fake empire]

Yea I think Last House is better

[IAmNietzche]

I'm not sure how you call LHotL sick just to be sick and then call I Spit On Your Grave good.

I Spit On Your Grave is the worst film ever made. It is poorly acted and poorly directed for a 70s exploit film... and that is saying something. LHotL is fucking classic.

You should have at least mentioned Thriller - En Grym Film or Combat Shock, those were fucked up films that actually had merit.

I wouldn't go that far

[fake empire]

yea Ebert's review is hilarious

[Brandon Allin]

Bump because I am stoked to see this on Friday.

[Ailite]

I love the trailer mostly thanks to the song

I've yet to see TJ Wells respond to anyone who disputes his opinion on movies.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

I want to see it just because it's a horror movie pretty much. I hated the original one, but the story is a unique one so the remake could turn out okay.

[drudo182]

Never saw the original but it's somewhere in my Netflix queue. This one looks pretty sweet.

[bobcatbob18]

So very glad I'm not the only one who realized this.

[what_ever]

I generally only enjoy horror movies if they have an intriguing story. This one looks pretty uninspired.

Actually it is inspired.....by a true story.

[AshesAshes]

Cant wait to see this Friday, prepared to be let down though.

[what_ever]

Actually it is inspired.....by a true story.

nice. regardless, it just looks like it doesn't have enough to it to warrant me going to see it.

[IAmNietzche]

Microwaves can easily be rigged to work with the door open.

[SSLYBY]

trailer looks good.

[AP_Punk]

intense movie.

[billyboatkid]

I'm down to see this.

The preview actually looked pretty good. It's aaaa TWISST!

[airik625]

Pretty excited to see this. Hope it meets my expectations, but doubt it will.

[Brandon Allin]

Planning on going tonight, but that fell through. Sunday it is.

[AP_Punk]

i hate when adults bring little kids to r rated movies. and annoying dudes who try to act cool by laughing at every scene in a movie. i had to put up with both those things while sitting through this. hah

:wallbash:

:wallbash:
When I saw Superbad, so many little kids. Pretty terrible & annoying.

[AP_Punk]

dumb parents. they probably listen to ICP.

[AshesAshes]

Haha, two families walked out while I was watching this

[zion the lion]

I was gonna see this with my mom tonight but I think I'm going to the gym instead. I dont get the logic that goes behind parents taking their kids to see these kinds of movies, but when I was little my mom took me to see crazy ass movies all the time.

[Kassie09]

It was awesome. I have no idea in the whole world why ANYONE would take a kid to see that movie though. At my theater, we had to read a 'disclaimer' before purchasing our tickets. I liked the movie, it was sweet. Unrealistic but sweet.

[mht]

Haha, two families walked out while I was watching this


does the movie suck that bad or is it that like offensive enough to take their family out?

[AshesAshes]

The movie was decent, I'm guessing they left cause its Utah/Rape scene.

[Montauk1222]

just got back from seeing this, thought it was a really good movie, didn't care for the dead brother storyline because that went nowhere other than the necklace scene and the rape scene was a real uncomfortable scene

[mht]

so the rape scene is pretty gnarly is what you are telling me?

[Montauk1222]

Yeah its fairly gnarly, like it made me really really uncomfortable and that takes a lot for me

[Justin_stacy]

you're kidding, what 1950's movie theater do you goto?

[Kassie09]

you're kidding, what 1950's movie theater do you goto?

It's a brand new movie theater, I was very surprised. I thought maybe it was at every movie theater but apparently i am wrong.

[RiCCioLi]

hey this movie doesnt look too bad, but Ive never heard of the original :shrug:
worth a rent

[Brandon Allin]

you're kidding, what 1950's movie theater do you goto?
Hahaha. For real, this movie isn't bad at all in terms of "shocking" stuff.

[Montauk1222]

Hahaha. For real, this movie isn't bad at all in terms of "shocking" stuff. I would be willing to bet its purely to do with the rape scene, otherwise yeah I agree it was mild on the scale of shocking gore and violence.

[mymomsapanda]

was this movie scary?

[songydarko]

This movie was messed up. Decent though.

[stayillogical]

I haven't seen this, but in EW, Stephen King rated it as his #2 of the year and said, "This film is on par with The Silence of the Lambs."

lol?

[Justin_stacy]

lol?

its not the worst recent 'remake,' that prize goes to Halloween, but its hardly one of the best. boring, slow, unsuspenseful. just a really bland, forgettable release. no one will remember it in a year.

that's not to say the original is anything great, but it deserved better than this. king's smoking something even mentioning it next to Silence of the Lambs.

[poppa Q]

Stephen King's an idiot.

[Rawrr]

Pretty ok entertainment wise, but it's a pretty shitty film. But I guess entertainment is all that matters.

Jakey poo weren't you like 13 when this came out?

[Rawrr]

14. I saw it with my parents, and little kids translates to like, 3 year olds crying, not teen twerps like myself

[Justin_stacy]

superbad with the parents, that must of been fun.

[drudo182]

King did state it was beautiful shot, which it was, but it was hard for me to sit through it and enjoy it. Not too bad but I wouldn't watch it again.

King also stated that Revolutionary Road was bad and had The Reader at number four saying that Kate Winslet had the best performance that he saw this year. RR was great and The Reader was an average film at best.

[Rawrr]

superbad with the parents, that must of been fun.
It was awesome, saw Knocked Up and Borat with them too, they really don't give a shit about that kind of stuff, they understand I can handle the F word and penis jokes

[deadkidsean]

terrible fucking movie

agreed

oh okay, first part was more what I was referring to. the latter is just plain silly

[zion the lion]

I saw the unrated version with my mom, along with knocked up, and the hangover.

[drudo182]

I saw the unrated version of this too and that rape scene was so awkward. Ugh.
