April 8, 2010 - The Last House on the Left

Having a new baby has really impacted my movie watching. Made the time for this one in the wee hours.

(65) The Last House on the Left (2009): This is the remake of the 1972 Clive Barker classic of the same name. Not the worst movie I've ever seen. The bad guys (a couple of familiar faces in Garret Dillahunt and Aaron Paul) are believable and the good guys (Tony Goldwyn, Monica Potter, and Sara Paxton) are also believable. However, the only person I really cared about in the whole movie is Paige. You'll just have to watch it to find out, but talk about being unceremoniously forgotten about. I'm still wondering to myself, what about Paige?

Anyway, it's a fully developed story, which isn't always the case for a horror film. The setup takes a bit, but overall it's worth it, and after all the really bad horror films I've seen of late, this one was at least a breath of fresh air. It's worth watching, especially if you're in the mood for a decent horror flick.

2.5 Stars
