[Wes]

I wonder had Wes Craven any clue that this film would become an iconic Horror classic ? Probably not such was the murky world of low budget exploitation film making. The film is tonally uneven - the bad comedy doesn't mesh well with the serious stuff, and technically the film is primative, but as Iggy Pop might say this film has a raw power. For years Wes Craven seemed embarrassed by the film, but Last House looks forward to his later films - the booby traps, the dream sequence, even David Hess' character's name would all later reappear in Nightmare on Elm Street...
