Wes Craven's 1972 debut picture, a loose reworking of Ingmar Bergman's Jungfrukällan (The Virgin Spring), tells the story of a group of psychopathic escaped convicts who kidnap, torture, humiliate, rape, and try to murder two teenage girls and then end up asking for refuge at (unbeknown to them) the home of the parents of one of the girls. This couple then find out who their guests really are...Remade in 2009 by Dennis Iliadis, produced by Craven and starring Sara Paxton, Garrett Dillahunt, Monica Potter, Aaron Paul, Tony Goldwyn, and Riki Lindhome. | |

Dirty Coward: In the end Krug appears to be this once he realizes that he is truly screwed and that old man Collingwood is gonna take him apart with that chainsaw, and suddenly all his macho psycho b.s. goes right out the window. | |

Downer Ending: Mari, Phyllis, and Junior are dead, and even though Mari's parents have vindicated them, they're most likely going to prison due to the stupid sheriff. That's a maybe. The sheriff found out about Mari being kidnapped prior so he might be convinced otherwise. They may still head for jail though, if Brad Pitt showed us anything. | |

| The Last House on the Left / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: The sheriff and his deputy are incompetent buffoons. They even buy into Krug's half-assed alibi about being a passing preacher. And when they hear of Mari's kidnapping, they not only find out where she is located, but also that they were there a few minutes ago. Oh, and they were late to the Roaring Rampage of Revenge Party. Though to be fair, they did try to help. It was just that they were held back by several things when they did go to help. | |

Torture Porn | |
| The Last House on the Left / int_96362a61 | comment |
Torture Porn: In this case, it's the villains whose torture is more drawn out. Paige gets a relatively tame death - being stabbed only in the stomach, and Mari actually survives altogether. However, the murders of the three villains are very gratuitously violent and shot in a way that the viewer is meant to enjoy. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Krug and company look guilty when Mari walks in shock towards the lake. Krug briefly look genuinely repulsed at himself and ashamed. To say it doesn't last is an understatement. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| The Last House on the Left / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The film is notorious for its use of this trope. The sheriff and his deputy may as well be from a completely different movie (even the music is different), and their scenes have a tendency to blow a hole through any tension the film built up before they appeared. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Ah, man, we raped and murdered these people's daughter, and they don't even know! Wow, now the mom's giving me a BJ! This is the best road trip ever! Also when Phyllis and Mari follow the obviously extremely weird boy, who they barely know and admit later that they thought he was creepy to begin with, to his dingy hotel room to buy drugs from him. Not to mention the fact that he is underage so there is no way that he rented the room by himself. | |

Monster Misogyny | |
| The Last House on the Left / int_c16f48aa | comment |
Monster Misogyny: Though the villains stumbled upon Mari and her friend, they're quite excited about having them around considering all the "fun" they can have with them, with Weasel wasting no time getting around to raping Phyllis. In the remake, Krug makes note of how innocent and beautiful the two girls are, explaining that he'd "hate for anything to happen to them". Considering what does happen to them later, it sure sounds like Krug is invoking the trope. It's also arguable that this trope is what sells the movie's shock value. It's not just a movie about Torture Porn, it's a movie about Torture Porn committed on two innocent women. | |

Re-Cut | |
| The Last House on the Left / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: Cinema owners and projectionists would sometimes make their own cuts to the finished movie. There's also some debate on what the "true" uncut version of this film really is. The film supposedly ran 91-minutes uncut for a short while before Craven grew uneasy over the content and trimmed it down to 81 minutes. Three additional minutes were restored in the 80s for a reissue, and this is the "uncut" version usually released today. The supposed 91-minute version is the stuff of fan legend, and some don't believe it ever existed, and that the 84-minute cut was the complete version all along. Some believe that a 91-minute version once existed, but that the remaining cut footage is lost. Others believe that it does exist, but that the rights-holder (MGM) simply won't let the footage be restored. There's also an early work-print edit titled "Krug & Co." that's similar to the 84-minute version, but with a few different takes, choppier editing, and a completely different scene of the parents finding Mari (she's alive, and describes her attackers before dying). | |

Fan Disservice: Although the original is undeniably lurid if when watching the rape scene in the remake you find anything remotely erotic about what's happening to Mari there is probably something wrong with you. Sadie is topless for the scene where the Collingwoods take their revenge. | |

Artistic License – Physics: Microwave ovens do NOT work like that. First, for safety reasons they are designed to remain deactivated while the oven door is open. There are ways to bypass such safety measures, but while the experience of having your head microwaved would be tremendously painful and result in death, your head wouldn't explode. At most your eyes would rupture since they are basically fleshy bags of water, but that's it. | |
