"If bad people hurt someone you love, how far would you go to hurt them back?"
A pair of teenage girls are brutally raped and terrorized by a vicious gang of psychopaths, who subsequently find their cruelty returned tenfold when they seek sanctuary in the home of one of the victim’s parents in this contemporary reworking of Wes Craven’s controversial 1972 shocker.
Shortly after arriving at her family’s secluded lakehouse, Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) and her best friend are abducted by a sadistic prison escapee and his violent crew.
Left for dead and nearly in shock after suffering unspeakable abuse at the hands of her captors, Mari realizes that her only hope for survival is to find her way back home.
Unfortunately for Mari, her attackers have unwittingly arrived at her parents’ home seeking shelter from the authorities.
There, Mari’s concerned parents John (Tony Goldwyn) and Emma (Monica Potter) realize to their horror just what grim fate has befallen their beloved daughter.
Suppressing their rage in order to lure the killers into a deadly trap, John and Emma quietly hatch a plan to make the three strangers suffer for their grisly transgressions.
Fact : A former humanities professor turned brand name fright-master, producer, writer, director Craven is clearly an intellectual artist trapped in a disreputable genre. He entered filmmaking as an editor and assistant producer to exploitation producer Sean Cunningham (who would later create Jason for the “Friday the 13th” movies) on several low-budget comedies and skin flicks before graduating to the position of writer-director with a modestly budgeted ($87,000), feature “Last House on the Left” (1972). Wes Craven also produced many blockbuster movies such as “Shocker” (1989), “Dracula 2000″ (2000), and “The Hills Have Eyes” (2006).
Note : Sara Paxton was a model. She was ranked #44 on interview magazines Hollywood faces to watch “future stars of tomorrow”. Her father is very distantly related to actor Bill Paxton.
