LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972)

Last House on the Left is an exploitation film based on true events with shaky camera handling, unreliable acting, poor sound, and a lot of poor "in your face" psychological violence.  This is Wes Cravens debut film, and you can certainly recognize that this is his first appearance as a director due to all the errors.  The film depicts two girls who are going to see a concert and on the way want to score some pot to enhance the evenings pleasures.  However, everything goes wrong from this point forward and they end up in a cruel environment of torture, rape, and worse.  Two things you can take from this film include that you should take a self-defense course and beware of strangers.  Otherwise, this is a horrid film experience.
