Chicago Tribune
Hinges on humiliation and vengeance, which makes it like most other modern horror titles. Its focus on sexual assault, however, puts it in a different, more primal league. - 63
ReelViews
The wheels fall off toward the end but, until that point, Illiadis does an excellent job of generating and maintaining an intense sense of dread. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
Look at the performances. They're surprisingly good, and I especially admired the work of Monica Potter and Tony Goldwyn as the parents of one of two girls who go walking in the woods. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
The best in the latest crop of slasher remakes. Admittedly, that is faint praise. - 50
Boston Globe
Like the current hit "Taken," Last House 2009 packs a vicarious jolt that might feel cathartic to certain moviegoers. - 40
Village Voice
This new House tries to sustain a grave, heavy sense of threat. It fails, through its villainy. - 40
Variety
If the original could be accused of having a real point (even a subtext), the uninspired redo has none whatsoever. - 33
The A.V. Club
It's now a straight-up crime and retribution flick, capped off by the dumbest wolf-feeding coda a 13-year-old ever dreamed up.
