Is anybody here actually going to waste their time seeing the "modernized" remake of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT? I've seen a couple of trailers for it and man, I just can't go through with it! For one, all of the squeamish violence that made the original so unbearable has been "PC'd", if you will. Also, have you seen the actors they've cast to play Krug, Sadie and the other two now renamed, once perfect slimeballs known as Weasel and Junior? They look like they just walked out of a GQ fucking photo shoot for crying out loud! To say they lack that "it factor" that David Hess and company had would be a massive understatement. The new Collingwood father looks more like Krug, for shit sake!

Such a shame. The original will always remain the most powerful version of this brutal tale, and I for one wish they would have kept it that way.

The original is one of those 'is it actually real these events playing out' movies that shocked & stunned when released on VHS all those years ago. One of the reasons for its notoriety & infamy was the dawn of VHS. Remaking such a movie for a wide general release is in no way going to capture he evil essence that Craven's original flick brought. Doubtlessly however off the back of its infamy this remake will make Millions & more people will actually see it. Go figure. It's a movie I'll catch on satellite in a couple of years. What's next an Evil Dead remake from Disney studios !?. bb
