After clarification, let's talk about the 2009 version of The Last House on the Left. If you don't know who the director of the original is beforehand, I think I can guess it after watching it. The trick of WES CRAVEN can be seen throughout the movie, even though it is a remake.
After a not-so-exciting opening, the film calmly describes the family going on vacation. Among them, the 17-year-old daughter who likes to swim wants to go out and the mother is worried about trivial incidents. In "There Are Eyes from the Mountain", the first thing we also saw was the little quarrels of a large family on vacation. The purpose of this section is to bring the movie closer to the audience, so that the audience feels that the protagonists are just ordinary people just like them. And this paragraph also reminds me of Michael Haneke's "FUNNY GAMES".
Later, the criminal was led by JUSTIN, a strange boy met by his 17-year-old daughter, and the stage of "torture" began. This part is extremely depressive. The protagonists are brutally abused and persecuted. On the one hand, it shows the evil perversion of the bad guys and the protagonist’s weakness and misery. On the other hand, the audience is brewing depression and waiting for the eruption of emotions. In the 2009 version of The Last House on the Left, this part should be said to be a pass. The three criminals are absolutely "evil" enough, rape, torture, and murder are not left behind. But the disadvantage is that it is not "strong" enough. It has allowed the two little girls to escape several times, which is far worse than the mutants in "Eyes from the Mountain". The tension of the plot has also been reduced a lot.
The three criminals later moved into her 17-year-old daughter's house because of the storm. The criminals do not know that the kind and enthusiastic couple in front of them are the parents of the girl they just killed. Of course, mother and father didn't know that they had led the wolf into the room. But then their daughter "climbed" back, and the boy JUSTIN left a clue, and they finally learned the true colors of the three strangers. So self-defense and revenge for the daughter, the dual power has aroused the most primitive animality in the depths of human nature, cliché, but it has been tried and tested! This part should be the climax of the movie. Just like the father in the second half of "An Eye on the Mountain", in order to get back his daughter, the father slaughtered the mutants. In the end of "Scream 123", Shirley had to kill the murderer with his own hands. Vent.
However, the 2009 version of The Last House on the Left ejaculated prematurely at this critical moment. The first criminal was killed by the two couples and set off the climax of the film. The audience in the theater was hooked and looked forward to the death of the next BOSS. Unexpectedly, the female BOSS was shot in seconds, the male BOSS and the male protagonist fought for a long time and ended up hastily. The climax that the audience is looking forward to is not that it has not come, but that it has long passed. Comparing the thrill of killing to the end in the second half of "There are Eyes in the Mountain", the 2009 version of The Last House on the Left is too far behind. The director seemed to have a guilty conscience, adding a microwave oven-baked "head" scene at the end of the film is really superfluous.
Although the orgasm was vented prematurely, the moment of venting was still very enjoyable! I think this is one of the reasons why I like bloody and violent "horror movies" like Europe and the United States so much. They don’t scare me out of sleep for weeks like Japanese horror movies, but they make me feel it in the cinema. When riding the roller coaster, he opened his hands and screamed to vent his pleasure.
