This one is killing me... I have been able to keep myself from looking it up on IMDB thus far though since it may come to me still...

 

[TrolleyDave]

OT: *Sorry if I got your hopes up Trolley* I watched the original Last House on the Left and I just went away with feelings like if the SweatHogs had raped and killing ppl... Not that the remake is good but just ok...

I know alot of people that didn't enjoy it to be honest. In fact I know more people that don't like it than do. For some reason though everything about the film resonates for me. From the gritty look and slightly dodgy acting to the cheesy and often hilarious music! And Krug and Co. capture what a bunch of psychotic killers are like really well. Sweathogs? Are they the kids from Welcome Back, Kotter?

Yeah the 8bit-ish kill music was pretty funny. Yes Junior reminded me of Horshack (leftmost in this pic).

Edit:
Son of a... I had to look at IMDB... Am now ashamed that I didn't recognize what movie it was.

 

[junn]

this pic might give you a little hint.

 

[cracker]

Yes, it would have if I already hadn't looked it up...

(im suprised it took less than a day to figure it out haha)
anyways, just want to say a few things about it, if none of you have read the book. LOCATE IT NOW. its a very very good book, it is one of my favorites, its by the guy who wrote the book requiem for a dream. the author (hubery selby jr) is the only author that has made me cringe because of what is happening in his books, and wanting me to actually set the book down and go outside.

 

[TrolleyDave]

I haven't seen that since it came out! I knew I recognised the first pic but couldn't place it and then the second pic jogged my memory well!

A nice easy one next :
