The Last House on the Left (1972)
Disturbing for it's time, remains so today.
I can remember renting this film years ago (1998) with Nightmare/Elm ST. 3. The movie, back then, was really just to waste the weekend for me. I never really got into it. Then I bought a used rental copy 2 years later, and after viewing it told myself that I would NEVER watch this movie again. I lied to myself. Buying the uncut (More 'bout this later) movie just days ago, I felt like most others do after watching it...sick. This movie is not pleasent. The two girls that played the parts were amazing with what they had to do. Last House is a lot to stomach, and both Wes and Sean do great with building sympathy for the girls. No film has ever been done like this up to that point. The Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre still had 2 years before they were viewed. Now, to call this film uncut is just not true.the original film ran 91 minutes, and the latest edition runs at 84. The other 7 minutes were sliced by the projectionists at the drive-thrus. Although these 7 minutes are gone, and for people who would like to see the truly complete film, are out of luck. Part of me is curious about what lied in those 7 minutes. The other part is glad they were cut. 84 minutes is enough to get the point out there. Anyways, this film is truly disturbing and should only be viewed by mature adults. Basically Last House is too real for me, and it makes me aware of the problems that we are facing with nowadays, and to think it's gotten worse in 30 years really gets me concerned with where society is heading. For being an eye-opener for that generation, and truly powerful, it's gets a 10. For being watchable, 2. Remember, however many times you watch this film, the first 45 minutes will forever make you sick.

I Love Baragon!!!
Godzilla is back and mean! I bought an imported copy from Hong Kong and I am glad to see Toho still up to their old tricks. I love this film and am glad that Toho included Baragon in the fight. Baragon hasn't been seen since 1968, and it was a real treat to see him battle Godzilla! Now, where's Titanosaurus?
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
Dream Warriors is the best of the sequels!
I simply love this film. The special effects are top-notch and the characters' problems allow you to build sympathy for them. Part 3 is not all that scary, but still has the ability to thrill you with gross possibilities and new twists that work great with Freddy Kreuger. Oh yeah, and Dokken rules!!!
