I have no intention in engaging in the game of comparing this movie to those previously made. There is really nothing original in horror, so naturally, any film will have glimpses of others. I am just glad I didn't have to watch a dubbed version.Rino (Daniele Grassetti) and Aurora (Daniela Virgilio) were jumped on the side of the road and she was just about to get raped when Antonio (Gennaro Diana) came buy to stop the action, I mean to save the day.They soon find that there are worse things than rape. Rino ends up tied up in the boy's (Fabiano Malantrucco) room, and she is running for her life through the woods.Soon she is back in the house, and we see why this film was also called Italian Chainsaw.There is lots of blood and gore, and some really icky stuff.

This movie is just like watching an old 70's horror film. Remember the oldies with the bad dialogue, terrible acting, and badly cut film? This movie perfectly captures that old feel. If you're a fan of those old movies, you'll like this.The movie starts out with a couple who get attacked by some thugs on the side of the road. They are rescued by a couple who take them to their house in the woods. And of course, they have a secret. And it involves feeding their kid and strange family members in unusual ways.The gore is good. The film cuts are hilarious. They really captured the bad shots, and if you're a fan of those old films, you'll really get what they were doing. Like the camera will hold a really long time on a weapon and it's just hysterical.I was really surprised by this film. I would love to see more modern films made this way.Ten stars.

I have read some real negative reviews on Last House In The Woods, and I did'nt have high hopes...but I actually thought it was a good time.If you like the old-fashioned Italian flicks (Argento...Bava) I think you will probably get something out of this.It has some pretty nasty moments, arms and legs getting ripped off, nasty bites, bashed in heads and more!!! It reminded me of House On The Edge Of The Park and TCM Also on the Ghost House DVD, it has English dub or Subtitles, we watched it with the dubbed language, which is fine (quite funny at times too!) All in all I had fun time watching Last House In The Woods, watch it without any expectations and I'm sure you will too.

This Italian micro-budget horror production isn't that good, but nonetheless it's not too bad for a first shot at a feature length production, as writer / director Gabriele Albanesi has created three horror shorts before it. With a title like that you'll know where it's target audience lies, and for most part it delivers on it if you just go in expecting something rather amateurishly crazy and explosively bloody in what is an all to familiar get-up. You can see its style is raw, lurid and recalls shades of 70s / 80s drive-in grindhouse exploitation. It's a total throwback. Even with this element, still it's hard to find it disturbing. It's far from it actually, as it's over-the-top hysterics (especially involving three moronic douche bags) and macabre confusion can see it fall on being darkly humorous. A young couple, Aurora and Rino are trying to come to terms to where their relationship is at or what was, but they're interrupted by three loutish thugs that bash Rino and attempt to rape Aurora. However an older married couple driving pass saves them from that disastrous fate and takes them back to their place to recover. But unknowingly to them this couple has a secret which might put Aurora and Rino in a great deal of unexplainable trouble.The narrative is thoughtlessly thin and dank, but cluttered with so many disjointed plot structures (some that feel like a second thought as if made on the spot) which go onto to lead to an inevitable (and perplexing) explanation to all of this demented carnage. I'm at a lost?! You can easily spot the influences from other horror films though. 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' shoots to mind. The unsubtle script was mostly horrendous. After a plodding beginning-- setting up Aurora and Rino's rocky relationship and their early encounters with the brain-dead thugs. The whole mystery surrounding the hospitable couple and their son is what holds you, until it throws you into the ugly, explicit violence and bewildering situation. Nothing suspenseful about it, but it's flipped out with it gushing with plenty of red stuff and gore skews into camp territory, but that final closing is shockingly weak and rushed. What was going against it is that there was no one to really cheer on (yep Aurora and Rino were less than desirable characters) as they weren't painted oh so greatly. Gabriele Albanesi's direction stays conventional with some neatly realized images and fast moving zooms, but it's considerably well shot. Even when it decides the shake the camera about a couple of times. The electronic score stays low-key with a sensitively harrowing vibe, striking back to those old features. The pacing moves quick enough and the limited resources are handled effectively (like the make-up and splatter effects).The performances are very indifferent and quite poor (thanks again to those three ridiculous thugs). Daniela Virgilio and Daniele Grassetti didn't make much of an imprint as Aurora and Rino. Gennaro Diana and Santa De Santis's stiltedly icy portrayals bordered on farcical as the mysterious couple. David Pietroni was just laudably hammy as the main front man of the trio. Unusually ragged, but slightly amusing and outrageous Italian horror.
