    Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #133 "The Last House on the Left" (Wes Craven/1972) Craven's slice of exploitation nastiness is something to behold. To avoid fainting, keep repeating, it's only a movie...only a movie! Check it out if you dare.

    The Last House on the Left (1972) is a brutal, uncompromising, and deeply harrowing milestone of American exploitation cinema. It's a grimy masterpiece took the polite safety of suburban America, dragged it through the mud, and largely rewrote the rules of modern horror. #splatterhorror #horror

    I saw Midsommar alone at a late screening in an almost deserted cinema. I would definitely see it again. The film I don’t think I could ever watch again is Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left. Saw it on video in the ‘80s and I still occasionally get flashbacks.

    Craven purists will find many thematic and visual similarities to his other work, and the film marks an important bridge between The Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes. Also like those early films, The Fireworks Woman is a roughie, so proceed with caution.

    That's the way it is with many actors who portray horrifying and shocking characters. David Hess, for example, played Krug in Wes Craven's 1972 horror film, The Last House on the Left despite being a guy who in real life was soft spoken, kind hearted, and wrote coffee shop style acoustic music.
