    Released by: Arrow Video
    Released on: July 3rd, 2018.
    Director: Wes Craven
    Cast: David Hess, Marc Sheffler, Jeramie Rain , Fred Lincoln, Martin Kove, Sandra Peabody, Lucy Grantham
    Year: 1972
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Movie:

    A low budget remake of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring, Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham's 1972 The Last House On The Left was one of the hardest hitting horror films of its era. Even now, more than four decades after its release, it remains a tough watch and, in an era where horror fans are supposed to be jaded and desensitized, that counts for something.

    The plot is a fairly simple one. When the movie begins, two pretty teenage girls, Mari Collingwood (Sandra Cassel) and Phyllis Stone (Lucy Grantham) are on their way to a rock concert. They want to celebrate Mari's seventeenth birthday with their favorite band, Bloodlust. They decide to hitchhike     ...

    The Movie:

    While director Sergio Corbucci is probably best remembered for his comic bookish masterpiece Django, he made an equally great film that remains far too underappreciated with The Great Silence. A bleak and sometimes depressing film, it remains a powerful viewing experience, the sort that should be enhanced by a quality Blu-ray presentation.     ...
