Mary and Phylis are two perky young teenagers until they're kidnapped by three escaped convicts and repeatedly brutalized. 'The Last House On the Left' was Wes Craven's directorial debut and a twisted little bunny it is to; vicious, mean and exploitative, it makes other video nasties of the era, such as 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', look positively comic. It also proved remarkably influential on later film makers. There are loads of extras on this double disc release.

THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (2009)
Certification18 Our Rating
It's back to the 80s and student Samantha, desperately needing some dosh (as students in those days did), takes a one-off well paid job as a baby (OK nanny) sitter. Stuck on her own for a night in an isolated, spooky cottage deep in the Connecticut woods she gets a severe case of the heebie-jeebies, and not surprisingly as she's in mortal danger.
This highly credible frightener combines elements of the haunted house, slasher and occult themes from an earlier era, and it's no satire - trust me.
