The Last House on the Left (Wes Craven) - Arrow Video - 28/05/2018

It's a very decent film from Craven, only spoilt by badly judged tonal shifts whenever the two cops are on the scene.

Hess makes for a fantastic villain. In fact, all the baddies are suitably nasty pieces of work and utterly believable in my opinion.

I like the fact that Craven sets the template for several thematic elements which'll end up being a feature of some of his later films (laying home-made traps, parents revenging the death of their kids, nightmare sequences).

Although it's rough around the edges, it's definitely in my top 4 Craven films. The others being The Hills have Eyes, ANOES and Scream.
