Wes Craven's second film is well-crafted and frightening to say the least. LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT was more realistic (almost too much), but this perfect drive-in movie leaves you wanting more. It must have been an unbearable shoot. Check out the 2-disc DVD. A definite 7 out of 10 with Michael Berryman giving the best performance. Perfect locale in these California mountains that is scarier than the Bates Motel. Great cast with all unknowns. Dee Wallace was quite touching as the young mother and the old Grandpa Fred in the beginning was authentic to the max! Even if you're not a big horror fan, you should check this out late at night. Wes Craven has a good eye and feel for blood relations!
Excellent DVD & good quality. It scared me - scariest film when I saw the original. I would recommend anyone who likes horror films & not of a nervous disposition to buy it!
I wanted to compare it to the new version that I'd just seen at the cinema. Not nearly as scary or horific as the newer version but great viewing - it must have been terrifying when it was 1st released though 'back in those days'. Deffinately worth checking out.
