The Last House on the Left (2009, dir. Dennis Iliadis)

A holidaying young woman is raped by an escaped prisoner; later, he and his crew happen across her parents. Overlong horror remake with handsome production values which problematise the movie; prurient direction doesn’t help, so confused messages abound, impacting on the potential for the movie to be, you know, entertaining.
