Trailer - The Horror Remake 'The Last House on the Left'

DateFriday, January 9, 2009 at 2:04AM
Wow, I had forgotten all about this. They're making a remake to The Last House on the Left, a Wes Craven flick from the early 1970s that has to be one of the most profitable movies ever made.

In 1972, Craven made his debut with a $90,000 film that made upwards of $10 million worldwide, before DVD sales. Pure gold, this one is, and it's hard to wrap your head around a debut film made on that budget achieving any kind of success at all.

It's even harder to come to grips with the notion that the sequel will achieve great success, but I certainly don't knock Wes Craven for pushing all these remakes. He's gone about things the right way, so if he wants to cash in, cash in. I submit he's the only man who will ever direct Freddy Krueger and Meryl Streep, so there you go.

Here's the trailer for The Last House on the Left, and it should be self-explanatory.

There's no release date yet for Last House, but it's expected this spring, according to the trailer, so we'll see how that shakes out.

I don't mind any remake that the original filmmaker is involved in. It's Craven's movie, so he can do with it what he wants, but do we really need another "Sweet Child O Mine" cover? Wasn't Sheryl Crow's bad enough?

I wonder if the mom does the old chomp on the weenie like the original. Probably too rough for today's audiences or the MPAA.

I don’t like the idea that the daughter survives in this one. However, with all the Wes Craven remakes I am excited for the possibility of a new “Deadly Friend”.
