*Warning: This week’s episode deals with heavy topics such as explicit sexual assault, torture, murder, and suicide. If you find these topics triggering, please feel free to skip this episode or come back when you are in the proper headspace.* On this week’s episode of The Final Girl Podcast, our Women in Horror series continues as Ryan is joined by special guest MacKenzie Marsh. Together they break down and discuss the highly controversial directorial debut of Wes Craven, The Last House on the Left. When seventeen year old Mari goes into the city with her friend, they come across a group of repulsive villains who take out their pleasures on the girls. However, by an odd coincidence, the villains later take shelter in Mari’s parents house who soon discover their crime and enact their revenge. Join Ryan and MacKenzie as they discuss the badass that is Estelle Collingwood and answer the question: does this film serve a purpose in the horror genre or is it just exploitative horror meant solely to shock a naive 1970’s audience?
