ack in 1972, Wes Craven's feature-film debut The Last House on the Left pushed more than a few puritanical buttons, but it was a scene featuring a girl pissing on demand that seemed to spark the most controversy. Some 30 years after its original theatrical release, this schlocky extrapolation of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring is still the definitive horror-film-as-cautionary-tale. Dr. William Collingwood (Gaylord St. James) and his wife Estelle (Cynthia Carr) smother their daughter Mari (Sandra Cassel) with listen-young-lady care before the 17-year-old heads off to a Bloodlust concert with Manhattanite best friend Phyllis Stone (Lucy Grantham) in tow. Craven evokes the innocence of the love generation via hippie songs, a peace-sign necklace, and a carefree stroll through the woods (it's there that Mari and Phyllis compare cup sizes and discuss romantic love). When the girls go looking for marijuana, they're kidnapped, tortured, and killed by a group of Mansonesque escaped cons. It's the ultimate Vietnam allegory, except there's no room for peace here, just war. Craven heightens the dramatic tension by expertly cutting back and forth between the Collingwoods' happy suburban home and the Stillo gang's hike through the woods. Way before Drew Barrymore had her larynx cut in Scream, an irony-stoked Craven had the Stillo posse unintentionally making their way back to the Collingwood estate, and though this exploitation quickie's infamous promotional hook read "It's only a <b>...</b>

iamrouge.com Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes, Scream series) brings audiences his latest suspense thriller with My Soul to Take. In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer. Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his dad's terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest...until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.

Desde luego, con cameos como éste nos damos cuenta de la cuesta abajo que ha ido siguiendo esta señora en su ¿carrera? profesional. Se ve que Wes Craven (director de Scream) quería reírse un poquito de ella y así como los fans del género de terror para regalarnos 1 segundo de una interpretación que pasa totalmente desapercibida por la carita de Neve Campbell cruzándola.
