As Wes Craven’s films are slowly fed one by one into the remake grinder, it seems somehow inevitable that the conveyor belt would eventually be graced by the project that kick-started his career – The Last House On The Left.
Rogue Pictures has picked up the remake rights to the 1972 shocker, which seems a gang of criminals kidnap, rape and murder two teenage girls. But when the killers unknowingly hide out in the house of one of their victims, the girl’s parents turn the tables and create terrible tortures for them.
"I'm far enough removed from these films that the remakes are a little like having grandchildren," Craven told Variety. "The story, about the painful side effects of revenge, is an evergreen. The headlines are full of people and nations taking revenge and getting caught up in endless cycles of violence."
A director, writer and cast are now being hunted down, and the film should shoot early next year.
