Damn nice

Wow. Nice!

The Great Owl · 02-21-2018, 06:13 PM

The Last House on the Left is one of the most disturbing movies in my collection, but it's also one that I am compelled to revisit ever so often because of the emotionally cathartic singleness of effect that it delivers.

I'm looking forward to seeing Arrow's work on this.

The original Blu-ray was a decent release. In particular, the supplemental interviews and insights about the making of and response to the film are fascinating. If Arrow add some more enlightening bonus features, I might be tempted to get it. Otherwise, just an A/V upgrade won't be enough for me since I don't know if I can ever stomach watching the film again.

Fun fact: the cemetery from the film is right off the Merritt Parkway in CT.

I'm really digging the new art on this one! Paul Shipper never lets me down

starsteam · 02-21-2018, 06:33 PM

Never upgraded my DVD copy, mostly cause the movie left such a bad taste in my mouth I didn't want an excuse to sit through it again. But maybe now it's time.

GasmaskAvenger · 02-21-2018, 06:37 PM

I swear i'm bloody Nostrodamus. I had a feeling Arrow was going to give Craven's original the royal treatment.

Expect Scream Factory to do a CE for the remake with Aaron Paul and Tony Goldwyn.

GeoffOliver · 02-21-2018, 06:40 PM

I knew it was a good idea to hold out on getting MGM/Fox’s edition. I know Arrow will do this film justice.

F13BluRay · 02-21-2018, 07:04 PM

I was quite disturbed when I saw this about 15 yrs ago. Its incredibly effective but I don't think I'll ever be seeing this again. Good for those that want it

EricYuillMovieFan · 02-21-2018, 07:06 PM

Real excited, not for the transfer the film I think will always look like ass, but some new special features and packaging would be nice

OI8T12 · 02-21-2018, 07:12 PM

I saw this at the drive-in with my father back when it was released in 1972. It's the one and only time I'll ever need to see this movie. I was 15 when I saw it, and once is enough for me.

El_Fez · 02-21-2018, 07:19 PM

Jesus, that's some sweet cover artwork! I'll probably be skipping it (well, for a while until I see a super low price during an arrow sale) because I already have a copy and while it's a seminal work in horror, it's not one I need to revisit all that often.

I think it'll be a similar situation as The Hills Have Eyes. They'll do the best they can with subpar elements but at least we'll finally be getting a definitive edition of a 70's grindhouse classic.

Now that's something I've never heard this film delivering before...

I'll clear it up. I'm compelled to revisit this movie ever so often because of its powerful ability to disturb.

I like movies that elicit a strong emotion from me, even if that emotion happens to be disgust.

A MONTH AGO...

Arrow Video for the Wes Craven original.

And look where we're at today.

JohnCarpenterLives · 02-21-2018, 08:35 PM

Oh man, if they add the COMPLETELY UNCUT disembowelment footage as an extra that would put this release over the top. They (Craven's estate or Cunningham) have it. It's intact. It's there. When they made the director's definitive cut for the DVD craven trimmed it from his ORIGINAL director's cut.

I'd LOVE it at least as an extra to see how the scene originally played out. If Arrow actually manages to incorporate the uncut footage on another disc, so two versions of the film......I'd be speechless.

Director's Definitive Cut and Original Director's Cut....*shivers*

GasmaskAvenger · 02-21-2018, 08:41 PM

Roy Frumkes better be heavily involved in this project.

I also want to see the "Krug & Company" and "Sex Crime of the Century" title cards as bonus features too.

Last but not least, here's a remastered version of the "It's Only a Movie" trailer I put together using the now obsolete MGM blu-ray.

Leterface · 02-21-2018, 08:44 PM

Nice will be picking up ofcourse as Arrow is releasing this. Just having it on a poor DVD made me decide the second I saw this thread! Thx!
