Alicia I love this movie so much

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

ae-04548 Could not get past seen of the Girl being raped by the Criminal group. I would say this is a very mature audience movie from what I saw.

kristina This is one of those movies I was merely too tired and lazy to turn off after a very hard week's work.Lots of gratuitous shots of young female bodies getting (un)dressed, the usual complete lack of shading (the good are supremely good, the bad are fiendish), the torturous build-up the rape scene which seemed to be regarded as worse than the friend's killing (!)... could go on. I'm sure Aaron Paul looks back on this choice with great embarrassment.The ending is obscene in its cynicism , blithely showing the "good" doctor as being no better than the "evil" enemy - utter garbage (note that I didn't chose the word rubbish to avoid American readers having to consult an English dictionary).Trump voters should love this. In other words: Avoid at all cost.

Davis P The Last House on the Left (2009) Is a well made thriller that is worth a watch some time. Sara Paxton was really great in her role as Mary, she really showcases her mature acting. I thought all the actors in this film did a pretty great job as a matter of fact. The assailants here really convinced the audience of how sick and twisted they really were, I mean these people are messed up, as they should be. Yes, the rape scene and the violence overall is very graphic and realistic. The attack scene really did need to be both realistic and pretty graphic, in order to portray the feelings and emotions that the viewer should have, so I thought that was done well. The only scene I thought was too over the top as far as violence, was the scene with the garbage disposal, I thought that was kinda unnecessary. The parents in this movie really held their own and did very well in their roles! I loved how they portrayed their characters! I wasn't a huge fan of how the film ended, I wish it would've ended a little differently, really it's just the final minute I had some trouble with. 8/10 for the last house on the left.

punishmentpark I saw the original (1972, Wes Craven) too long ago to make a fair comparison, so I'll leave that alone for now. One thing I can say, is that this remake certainly had its strong points that made it worth the watch.The most important strong point is the rape sequence. Sara Paxton plays her part eerily well, and, even if it's not very long sequence (within, indeed, quite a long scene), it feels like it. Other strong points are most of the other acting (Martha MacIsaac, Garret Dillahunt, though Monica Potter was rather annoying), the introduction of the characters, the realistic feel that is initially achieved and the cinematographic sense of the director.Unfortunately, there is a lot that does nót go as well. For one thing, and it's not like I hadn't expected this, the revenge of the parents (starting from the moment the bad guys come by their house) is rather dragged out and mostly leans on the (inane) prolonging of tension and the gory excess (the latter was adequate, by the way, but the final 'wave' was a bit too much here). And, after such a realistic start and subsequent raping and killing, for once you'd wish there was a director who would take on what follows with more sense of originality - in any way, shape or form.Another big problem is the soundtrack. In the very beginning it had its moments, but at some point it seemed like it was even more important than the leading roles.5 out of 10 is all I can squeeze out for this one, and that may seem a bit much, but Paxton did an utterly commendable job.
