Garrett Dillahunt (No Country for Old Men, "Deadwood") has been tapped to star in Last House on the Left, a horror remake being produced by horror icons Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham. The actor will be starring alongside Rhys Coiro, Martha MacIsaac and Riki Lindhome. Dennis Iliadis is directing, based on a screenplay penned by Adam Alleca. Craven--who created the original 72 film alongside Cunningham--will be handling production through his Midnight Pictures shingle while Rogue Pictures handles distribution. Production is set to roll next month in South Africa.

Plot Concept: A pair of adventurous teen girls are kidnapped, raped and murdered by a gang of thugs. The killers unwittingly hole up in the home of one victim's parents, who, upon realizing what their guests did, devise gruesome revenge.

I think I will wait for the DVD, or bet yet - the HBO premiere

I think I'll wait for ever.

either of you two wanna explain why?
I've never seen the original Last House on the Left, I should rent it, so even though its a "remake" it'll be new for me... I have no vested love of the original, I could care less....of course I said the same thing about The Hills Have Eyes and its sequel remake and I havent seen either of those yet either.

as long is Last House stays away from the sadistic Hostel and Saw format, I should be able to watch this in an unbiased way.

Makracken, if you're not a fan of Hostel or Saw because of the sadistic and gory violence I don't think you'll enjoy this movie either. **Spoiler if you haven't seen the original. The killers of a young girl while making their get away end up in the girl's house. When the parents find out they killed their daughter, they exact revenge on the perpetrators. The most memorable moment was when the mother seduces one of the criminals and while sucking his penis bites it off. Obviously the original isn't as gory as today's flicks but back then this movie caused a bit of a stir.
