Brutal - one of Cravens outlier movies
26 May 2022
I feel like in Cravens catalog there are two movies that stand out as particularly brutal: The Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes. These two movies.... Are B. R. U. T. A. L.

Like scary brutal. It is really hard to watch parts of this movie. I'm sitting there like my god this lil flick here is nastyyyy. The initial trailer entry scene is ahhhhhhh HARD to watch.

Also the 2000s remake isn't the worst of all the corny remakes out there of vintage horror. Matter of fact it too is pretty shocking.

This movie really stands out alongside Cravens Last House. The sexual violence found in both movies can honestly be incredibly upsetting to watch. In a way, one may argue that makes it effective and therefore justifies the usage of some pretty horrific sexual acts. Or one could also honestly argue that it's horrifying and poor art. Either way Craven summons something sinister here anybody can recognize. But not all should watch.

This thing right here is a tough one. It is scary- but it can be repulsive in its attempt. There is zero mercy in the relationship you might formulate with your screen watching this mf. Craven name somehow makes the worst look good.
