Maybe I’m just tired of movies with all kinds of crazy twists. The remake of Last House on the Left plays it straight, just like the original. It is a basic tale of terror, protection, revenge. Unlike the original, it has a really nice filmic sheen. The simple story milks each moment – how is the guy down there gonna’ get the guy up there? A really slick, good time at the movies, provided you have the stomach for some brutality.
