Comments: Every year around Halloween I always buy a shitload of horror movies during various retailers' online sales. Usually I put some thought into what I get, but this year I added a few things without really doing any research. And Last House on the Beach is what I get. I read that it was a "pretty nasty" and "brutal" film, but in reality it was fairly tame and hardly exploitative. Granted, I've seen a lot of nasty horror films, so my senses are largely dulled, but Last House on the Beach doesn't really delve into the "nasty" territory (for the most part). The only really nasty scene is where the chick is violated by a large tree branch. Otherwise, during many of the exploitation-esque scenes, we either get cuts away from the action or close-ups of people's faces. Lame. I can't say I'm all that glad I spent $10 on this one.
