The Big Picture Stephen King has a history of raving about horror movies he loves, whether they were popular with audiences or not. If anyone knows horror, it has to be the master of it. One of the scariest horror movies ever made is 1972's The Last House on the Left, in what was Wes Craven's directorial debut.
There was a time though when a film of this nature understandably made an audience uncomfortable. The original I Spit on Your Grave, released in 1978, did that, but before that, in 1972, there was Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left. Based on Ingmar Bergman's 1960 Swedish masterpiece, The Virgin Spring, Craven's first film is more terrifying than A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, or any other classic he created.
In the 2010 version of his book Danse Macabre, King said he loved the remake better than the original, going as far as to call it "the best horror movie of the new century." That's high praise, especially since the century already had horror films like The Ring, American Psycho, REC, Saw, The Strangers, and The Devil's Rejects.
