Rogue Pictures has closed a deal to remake "The Last House on the Left," the controversial 1972 horror film that was banned for much of the last twenty years in the UK and jump started Wes Craven's career reports Variety.
The original followed a pair of adventurous teen girls who are kidnapped, raped and murdered by a gang of thugs. The killers unwittingly hole up in the home of one victim's parents, who, upon realizing what their guests did, devise gruesome revenge.
Craven, who wrote and directed the original, will produce the remake which is eyeing an early 2007 start date. This follows in the success of this year's "The Hills Have Eyes", a similar early Craven effort that got the remake treatment.
Craven also confirms that new versions of his 1989 flick "Shocker" and 1991's "People Under the Stairs" are also in the works.
