The Last House on the Left

The Last House on the Left (2009) elicits intense and visceral emotional responses. Dominant emotions include **Fear** and **Anxiety** stemming from the brutal and prolonged torment of the innocent victims and the constant threat posed by the sadistic perpetrators. **Disturbing** and **Disgust** are profoundly felt due to the graphic violence and the sheer depravity of the villains' actions. **Anger** is high, directed squarely at the attackers, while **Sadness** and **Empathy** are strong for the suffering victims and their grieving parents. A grim **Anticipation** builds towards the parents' brutal and morally ambiguous revenge, which, while providing a dark sense of **Satisfaction** and brief **Relief**, remains deeply unsettling.
