The Last House on the Left poster

Via ShockTillYouDrop the new poster for the remake of The Last House on the Left:

If bad people hurt someone you love
How far would you go to hurt them back?

The tagline is horrible. The rest of the poster is pretty great. No floating heads, but a focus on the house. But that tagline! It doesn't seem to fit the eerieness of the poster.

What I also noticed is that Sara Paxton gets the "and" credit. That's interesting. I'd maybe give her second billing and give Monica Potter (Saw) the ''and'' credit. Not that she's that famous, but a more familiar face to genre fans I think.

Trailer Park: The Last House on the Left

The Last House on the Left has been sitting on my sister's DVD shelf for years, untouched by me, a chick who has been watching Wes Craven movies since she was 10. Despite its cult classic status, I was never interested in watching it. Why would I want to see someone getting raped?

Then of course, came the remake news, and I just pondered if it was really necessary.

The trailer for Last House recently hit the interwebs and as I have a fondness for certain cast members, I checked it out. And you can check it out as well below!



It's a pretty good trailer. It doesn't even bother me that much that it spoils the entire film. I know I recently criticized Friday the 13th for doing the same thing, but with that movie, I already know what to expect. That movie already has my 8,80 euro. I had no intention on watching the Last House remake, but this trailer grabbed my attention. I want to see Monica Potter and Tony Goldwyn get their revenge on Aaron Paul et al. on the big screen! I want to see how the duct tape scene ends!

Plus, Spencer Treat Clark is in it, and he's a talented young actor I like to see more of. And Sara Paxton manages to be one of those young actresses that doesn't bug the crap out of me.

Only.. Aaron Paul as a bad guy? Ever since Whatever It Takes and that Vanilla Coke commercial have I not been able to take him seriously. But kudos to him if he manages to pull it off! (Note: I actually do like him as an actor).
