last house on the left

I saw the original way back when and was surprised by the tone of the film so imagine my confusion when I saw a trailer for this and having not heard they were even remaking it. Well, maybe there's a reason.

Maybe we're less sensitive these days but this film isn't shocking and instead I couldn't help but wonder why the characters were so 2 dimensional in a film where no one dies for a good 40 minutes.

I'm not watching it solely for the T&A (which I found kind of tame in this one) and the gore, while good in spots felt over the top dumb. What's worse is the final scene of the film is in the trailer... Seriously? and it's THAT scene? wtf is wrong with Hollywood.

Anyway, I can't say I'd recommend this one. It did nothing for me and we've had better "horror" films this year.

Movie - 1/5
