This is a remake of the 70's Wes Craven version so I was skeptical but also excited to see how the new one would turn out. I hadn't even seen the trailer yet when I got a special screening ticket (cause the Last House doesn't come out in theaters until Friday). I wasn't sure about how I felt the opening scene, although there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm pretty sure the "son" in this movie played a part in Mystic River. I didn't know any of the other actors, but they were all very good.
The Last House on the Left was as good if not better than the 70's original version. The plot is very similar but there are major differences between the two versions, especially in the final outcome.
Eden Lake is The Last House on the Left meets Funny Games. I find the plot to be somewhat original and edgy. The actors are all great. Don't watch this while eating your dinner.
