Scariest Scary Movie #24 – Last House on the Left

Last House on the Left (1972, Sandra Cassel, Lucy Grantham, David Hess)

Repeat this to yourself: It’s only a movie. It is not a snuff film. It’s just a movie…

Quick Plot: Three escaped convicts kidnap and brutalize two teenage girls. After their murderous lust is sated, the bad guys seek refuge in a nearby suburban home – the last house on the left. The unsuspecting owners, who are anxiously waiting for their daughter and her friend to arrive home, invite the group to spend the night. When the parents realize the truth, they exact a merciless revenge.

Scariest Scene: The torture scenes are graphic and hard to watch. The revenge scenes are classic.

Final Say: Wes Craven’s first film may just be the most disturbing movie ever made.
