I understand that sentiment, but to me, Craven's Last House was so far from being a perfect film that a remake (of a remake) wasn't offensive in the least.<br /><br />I really do think horror audiences are the toughest to please. I get in trouble sometimes for defending the Saw films, not because they're great, but because they're no worse--and in many cases, quite better--than the subpar sequels to F13 and Halloween in the late 80s to 90s. We get this bloated sense of what's a classic and find it impossible to give anything that's not amazing a fair shot.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-34667607221208728772009-09-21T13:33:41.019-04:002009-09-21T13:33:41.019-04:00Nice review.

When I got home I decided to read what others were saying, and was surprised at the number of people saying how bad it was. As far as remakes go, I thought this was one of the better films out there. I'm happy to see I'm not the only person that thinks that.Heather Santroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225708725622936749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-23785611761853203532009-09-21T09:21:26.758-04:002009-09-21T09:21:26.758-04:00Heavenz: It really does kill me that I can't d...Heavenz: It really does kill me that I can't decide how I feel about the microwave. It was just SO advertised that I never had that chance to find it a) out of the tone and stupid or b) totally awesomely gratuitous. Grr marketing!<br /><br />Wings: I do get ya. It takes the concept and makes everything a little more serious and believable, even if I do think it loses something in its cleanness.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-35034180877236951622009-09-21T08:10:39.834-04:002009-09-21T08:10:39.834-04:00I agree with your low point of the film, regarding...I agree with your low point of the film, regarding the clean look. Even the dirt on Mari's character seems to be carefully placed. Good review! You know my thoughts on this one already. But a quick recap...
