Talk:The Last House on the Left

message: Removed this sentence:
:Last House on the Left has become a cult film since its original release in part because an intact, un-edited cut of the film is hard to find (and may in fact no longer exist).
The filmmakers' commentary on the Region 1 special edition DVD indicates that the version shown on that disc is authoritative and is not materially different from the originally released version of the film. Ellsworth 17:20, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the synopsis could do with a lot of expansion.  I'd do it myself, but have never seen the film.  -Elizabennet 03:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Some parts of it definitely have some questionable language; e.g. "...eating her out...", as if portraying this film to be a porno, which it is not. rock8591 05:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Although the opening card says the film is based on a true story, it's actually based on a Swedish movie, Jungfrukällan, which is fictionalized.  Fargo made a similar claim of being "based on actual events", but isn't as literal as one might think.  Hoof Hearted (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: And the poster here does say she lived in "the...". If we're disqualifying words based on size alone, the title would be "Last House Left". Can't have that. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:02, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The opening credits of the film definitely include "The...", as per this screenshot. The AFI Catalog  also notes that "Although the onscreen credits on the viewed print and the film's copyright record list the title of the film as The Last House on the Left, most contemporary reviews omitted “The” from the title." --Muzilon (talk) 02:53, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I removed the reference to "13th century Swedish ballad" - there are no manuscripts for any variant of the ballad before the 1670s; I refer to Sveriges Medeltida Ballader (1983-2001), specifically to volume 2 (1986) SMB number 47, variant A. Most speculation as to the age of a ballad is just that. I know it is a small thing, but ballads are my field of study. I hope that I have approached this issue appropriately.

message: I'm not sure David Szulkin's book Wes Craven's Last House on the Left is notable enough to warrant a standalone article per WP:NBOOK, and would suggest it should be merged or redirected into the main article on The Last House on the Left (1972 film).

message: The excerpt from the review in The Daily Dispatch by Brian Nelson mentions the non-existent Cy Dung Award. I suggest that, for the benefit of readers who are unfamiliar with Major League Baseball, a note be added that this presumably is a pun on the name of the Cy Young Award. I don't imagine a source can be found for this, though.
At the end of the section, Home media, it states that the limited edition Blu-ray box set released in 2018 includes "new interviews with cast, crew, and associates of Craven". I wondered why an interview with Craven wasn't included. It turns out he had died in 2015. A note would spare readers a trip to Wikipedia's biography of him. —⁠71.105.198.152 (talk) 21:20, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
