Ned's (Jason Mewes) in love with Love (Lauren Walsh). Now Love is an
escort, but that doesn't faze Ned much, that's the way he met her, but of
course he'd want her to quit her job and go steady with him. The good
news, Love loves Ned back. Sure she tries to push him away as she feels he
deserves better, but she does very poorly when it comes to hiding her
honest affection to him. Finally she gives into her feelings and asks her
pimp Sonny (Jack Forcinito) out. Sonny is reluctant to let her go, but
promises to at least consider it if she does one more job that night with
two other girls (Alexis Zibolis, Jeanine Daniels). Love doesn't return
from that job that night, doesn't phone Ned as she has promised to, and
that drives Ned to do desperate things ... Love's evening starts out as
an interesting one, this was more than just the ordinary fuck party, her
host, aptly named Hate (Ezra Buzzington) proves to be an intellectual, and
he quickly senses he has found somebody to match himself with in Love,
leaving her companions to his perverted associates (Monique Parent,
Ricardo Gray), and before he even touches Love, they have long
philosophical discussion, with him pitching his nihilistic worldview
against her sarcasm ... but ultimately, things turn sour, as he knocks out
Love and she finds herself all tied up when she comes to, while Hate's
associates kill Love's companions rather violently - but Hate can't let
Love go quite as easily, and Love proves to still have quite a bit of
fight in her ... If you think The Last House is just a
sleazy piece of psycho horror after reading my synopsis ... I really can't
blame your for one minute, but you're still wrong, as despite its subject
matter, the sleaze factor of The Last House is rather tamed down
with all the nudity reduced to a few topless scenes in a strip club - what
you're in for instead is quite an interesting puzzle of genre elements,
put together not always in chronological but mostly emotional order,
something that might be a bit confusing but still feels right. Add to this
a cast of interesting characters ably brought to life by a strong cast,
some very sharp dialogue, and both a narrative and directorial approach
that succeed in keeping you guessing, and you've got yourself a rather
great movie.
