Last house on the left

A remake of the Wes Craven 1972 movie, right from the opening scene when 2 police officers are murdered you know your in for something dark. Also something uncomfortable, in the start of the movie the long lingering shots on the underage Mari (Sara Paxton), naked and in her underwear, and later on the abuse Mari and her friend go through. Funny part thou is Mari is all but unseen for the last half of the movie. After the killers seemingly leave Mari and her friend for dead, they seek refuge in the nearest home they can find, which happens to be Mari's parents summer cabin. Well once the connections are made that the killers are killers and they hurt Mari, her parents (Monica Potter and Tony Goldwyn) start the violence and man is it violent. There were not to may plot surprises in this movie but lots of surprises in how far they took the violence. As for how I felt about this film, I'm still on the fence about liking or hating it. But in the meantime for something similar in tone for this movie check out "Captivity" starring Elisha Cuthbert.
