Craven's The Last House On The Left
February 25th 2009 11:36
1972 was a good year for horror fans as it was the year Wes Craven came to be known for his first flick - the gruesome The Last House On The Left.
Due for release next month is the remake of the film although he has handed over the directing reigns to a lesser known Dennis Iliadis.
The original movie was set with an initial budget of $50,000 and was written and created in three weeks. The budget called for another $40,000 but the $90,000 film was an instant success and Wes has continued working with and around the horror genre ever since. Raised a Fundamentalist Baptist, it is strange to think that a man who had never seen a movie until his senior year in college is so synonomous with the world of film making.
The latest release stars Sara Paxton, Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter and will be released with an R rating due to language, nudity, drug use and violence including that of a rape scene. The original movie of revenge pushed the boundaries of cinema viewing in the 70s, and it will be interesting to see how the remake will hold up against today's audience.
Check out the preview below.
