Just one movie this week because I have a feeling Bad Movie Night is going to be interrupted by a birthday party. It's not the last movie night, we're watching the nutty birthday romp Last House on the Left. It's Mari's birthday and she wants a night on the town. But when her friend gets her mixed up with some shady characters they're on a collision course to wackiness! Of rape and torture.
This is our third Wes Craven movie, after Invitation to Hell and Deadly Friend. They remade it last year with the kid from Breaking Bad, who starred in that great Weird Al biopic trailer and the girl from Garfunkel and Oates that's not the funny looking one. The original received an X rating even after Craven cut 20 minutes from it. He ended up forging an R rating and releasing it. The UK wouldn't allow it to be shown uncut until 2008, banning it 4 separate times for some reason. Well I got my hands on this horrifying, shocking film. The library had a copy.
Oh, it's based on Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring so it's classy. And someone wrote a book about it (only one copy left!). I can't think of any other Bad Movie Night movies that have books about them.
Here's what happened last week:
