Indelibly scummy, Wes Craven's freshman shocker is less a rip-off of The Virgin Spring than a purposefully degraded update, with the medieval barbarism of the original cannily transplanted to Vietnam-era America. ...read the complete Last House on the Left movie review at Cinepassion.org
Tail Slate ("The Horror Guru")
Last House on the Left is the brainchild of a young Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham. It was a turning point for on-screen violence and realism with nothing quite like it seen before nor since. Admittedly, the film itself is nothing close to “great”, ...read the complete Last House on the Left movie review at Tail Slate ("The Horror Guru")

In the end, I just don't know what to make of the movie. If it was supposed to be a "fun" horror movie, it went too far. ...read the complete Last House on the Left movie review at Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings

There are many words to describe Wes Craven’s first horror effort: repulsive, jarring, unnerving, even sadistic. All words relative to the film’s content, to be sure, but that’s one of the striking things about Last House on the Left: from a ...read the complete Last House on the Left movie review at Classic-Horror

Unlike many horror fans this film just isn't too impressive for me. It's supposed to be scary and also creepy but too me it comes across as boring and old. The story is choppy - they go here, they go there - every 5 minutes they are off in different ...read the complete Last House on the Left movie review at Wooden Spoon's
