From ifitsmovies, Wes Craven’s THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is one of the more brutal films out there, mainly for its rape and torture scenes. Most people are shocked when they see this movie because of how twisted it is.Well with the remake that is currently underway, don’t expect to see the same sort of brutality that was so prevalent in the original. Craven recently talked to Rottentomatoes.com and had this to say:
“I think it’s probably the film I’ve made the hardcore fans respect the most because it’s just so brutal,” Craven said. “We don’t want to do it quite that brutal because it’s also just a great story. Bergman did the story and before that it was a medieval story so we’re going to try to split the difference.”
Craven will only be producing the remake, so he has no say in what goes into the film. If you ask me, the filmmakers need to do this remake justice. In today’s films, we have seen much worse than what was in the original film, so there is no reason for this remake to be any less than the original.

Yeah, toning it down in a post Hostel/Saw world just makes no sense at all. I haven't seen the original but I severely doubt the story is anything close to a quality level that will get woefully dragged down but some punch.
I don't get his use of "medieval" here. As in "get medieval on your ass?"
Hostel and Saw didn't have rape in them (thankfully). What is this "great story" he's talking about? Last House is a simple torture/revenge tale. I hated every minute of it.
