Why it’s HorroRated

The Last House on the Left remake makes a specific choice to center the parental revenge rather than the assault and that shift changes the film's moral texture in useful ways. Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter play the parents with a conviction that the material rewards. A remake that identified something the original hadn't fully developed and built around it.
