In a certain way, I like LHOTL. It's very powerful and Hess seems to be born for that part. What I don't like are the funny scenes with the stupid policemen. Craven once said that he shot these scenes because otherwise the movie would be impossible to watch (too hard). The girl-torture-scenes are truly hard to watch, very unsettling.
The revenge part is great (with chainsaw mayhem and the woman biting off Weasel's dick).

If you like this one, you should check out the italian rip-off NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS (directed by Aldo Lado), which has a similar story. I like this one better than LHOTL.

I liked it. I thought it was a good film, disturbing, but good. I was expecting alot more hard going than it actually was. I mean yeah, it would've been very shocking in 1972 (when I think it was released. maybe wrong.) but less so nowadays I think. Still very graphic, though.

The revenge part is the best part. ) I'm still cringing from that scene. lol.

Jak, I did look out for the scenes that you had on that list thing and i'm pretty sure my copy is uncut. When Krug tells Weasel to cut Mari it does go to to a shot of Mari's bloody fingers and she says 'Phyllis, he cut me!' and then you see Phyllis wet herself and i'm not sure about the shot of the 2 semi-nude girls holding each other but it has all of the scenes upto then. When Junior is saying 'You're gonna kill someone if you're not careful....' he did continue to say '...make 'em make it with each other.' The chase in the woods WAS longer and it did have the scene with Phyllis and Weasel on opposite sides of the river with Phyllis shouting 'Screw Creep!'. I think there was more shots of the sheriff getting out of his car and walking but i'm not sure because i have nothing to compare it to. The same goes for the longer conversation between Weasel and Mrs Collingwood in the fellatio scene. I'm guessing though that since I have all of the scenes at the beginning that this is the uncut version. I also noticed the part where Mr and Mrs Collingwood find Mari's body, and Mrs Collingwood asks her husband, 'Can't we do anything?' (or something like that) to which he replies 'No. She's dead.' without moving his mouth.

Overall I did enjoy this film. Now I gotta look forward to getting 'I Spit on Your Grave' and maybe 'Cannibal Holocaust' and 'Cannibal Ferox'. That was my first exploitational horror movie and I enjoyed it so I'm gonna try and get my hands on some more.

This movie is Cravens best by far. In fact, I think it is the only worthwhile film he ever did. Thats right Elm street lovers, you can stick it!

Anyway, Its a great movie that combines horror with comic absurdity. I love movies where you dont know wether to laugh or cry, and this is one of them. (I usually end up laughing, to the surprise of the audience. Once this director guy was showing these moves to a class of mine, and towards the end the lead character takes a gun out of nowhere and gets ready to commit suicide. I thought it was the funniest thing ever, especially in the context of that particular movie, and I was rolling with laughter. I had prepared all these questions to ask him,m but at the end he mentioned that scene was supposed to be serious. That guy was a loser. But anyway, must end parentheses!)

Yeah so where qwas i? oh yeah last house rocks, the end.

Except for the fact that I didn't like Last House, I totally agree with Kriz.
