| Plot: After settling their affairs, Emma (Monica Potter), John (Tony Goldwyn), and Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) head out on vacation to their lake house. Shortly after arriving, Mari borrows the family car and drives into town to spend time with her friend Paige (Martha MacIsaac). While Paige works the cash register at a local store, she and Mari meet Justin (Spencer Treat Clark), a teenager passing through the town who invites them both back to his hotel room to smoke some weed. While the three are hanging out in the hotel room, Krug (Garret Dillahunt), Justin’s father, Francis (Aaron Paul), Justin’s uncle, and Sadie (Riki Lindhome), Krug’s girlfriend, arrive.
Krug shows Justin a local newspaper that has Krug’s and Sadie’s pictures on the front page, and which explains how Sadie and Francis broke Krug out of police custody and killed the two officers that were transporting him. Believing it too risky to let Paige and Mari go, Krug kidnaps them and uses their vehicle to leave town. While Krug searches for the highway, Mari convinces him to take a road that leads him to her parent’s lake house; Mari then attempts to jump out of the vehicle, but the ensuing fight amongst all the passengers causes Krug to crash into a tree. Frustrated by Mari’s attempts to escape, Sadie and Francis proceed to beat Mari as she crawls away from the wreckage. Krug attempts to teach his son to "be a man" by forcing him to fondle Mari’s breasts. When Justin refuses Krug decides to rape Mari. Paige begins insulting him to get him to stop, which causes Krug to pause momentarily only to stab Paige in the stomach twice. As Mari watches Paige bleed to death she is raped by Krug. Afterward, Mari musters enough strength to escape the group and make it to the lake so that she can swim to safety. Before she can swim far enough Krug shoots her in the back, leaving her to bleed out in the lake.
A storm forces Krug and his gang to seek refuge with John and Emma, whose home is nearby. Justin realizes that they are Mari’s parents, and intentionally leaves a necklace Mari was wearing on the counter to alert them about their daughter. When John and Emma find Mari, barely alive, on their porch, along with the necklace from the counter, they realize that the people who did this to Mari are in their home. As they try and find the key to their boat, so that they can take Mari to the hospital, they decide to get revenge on those responsible. When Francis happens upon Mari’s body he is attacked and killed by John and Emma. When the couple go after Krug and Sadie they find Justin in possession of Krug’s gun; Justin gives the gun to John so he can kill Krug. Sadie awakens and interrupts John, allowing Krug the chance to escape the couple where he pieces together that they are Mari’s parents. After Emma shoots Sadie in the head, John runs after Krug. With a combined effort from Emma, John, and Justin, Krug is knocked unconscious. John paralyzes Krug from the neck down, and leaves him to die with his head in an active microwave; then he, Emma, Mari, and Justin take the boat to the local hospital. |

The Last House on the Left is a remake of the 1972 film which was the Directorial debut of Wes Craven. The plot is kept relatively in line with the original. The Collingwood family Emma (Monica Potter) John (Tony Goldwyn) and daughter Mari (Sara Paxton) arrive at their secluded lakefront home for a vacation. Mari heads to town to visit her friend Paige and they encounter Justin (Spencer Treat Clark) who invites them back to his motel room to smoke a little pot. Justin fails to inform the girls that his father Krug has just escaped from prison with the aid of his brother Francis and girlfriend Sadie.
When Krug arrives early back at the motel room things turn very bad for the two girls. With the girls knowledge of who he is, Krug has no intention of letting the girls leave. The girls make a desperate attempt to escape but are captured and brutalized by the gang in the woods near the Collingwood Lake home, leaving them for dead. The gang then shows up at the home looking for shelter from a thunderstorm, not knowing that they’ve showed up on the doorstep of Mari’s parents.
While the remake retains much of the plot and character elements, it doesn’t retain the brutality of the original. That can be a good or a bad thing based on your own tastes. The original was banned in the UK for over 30 years. I doubt the remake will have such a problem. While the production values are vastly superior that fact actually works against it. It’s over-produced. You know you’re watching a movie with actors. It doesn’t have the same sense of sadistic realism that Craven was able to achieve on a miniscule budget of under $100,000.
While it’s intense it’s never uncomfortable to watch. There is nothing remotely close to the notorious scene of the original where the mother “dismembers” one of the villains, which caused every male viewer to wince. The remake tends to be a little too cute in the way the Collingwood’s carry out their retaliation.
On the plus side, Sara Paxton gives us a much smarter and resourceful version of Mari, not to mention that she is a superior actor. All of the performances are good and despite the superior production values the actors make their characters believable.
On its own merits The Last House on the Left is a decent horror/thriller but it will never be able to escape comparisons to the more visceral original. |
