Rogue Pictures has closed a deal to remake The Last House on the Left, the 1972 horror film that started Wes Craven's career, reports Variety.

Craven, who wrote and directed the original, will produce the remake with longtime partner Marianne Maddalena and Sean S. Cunningham. The latter produced the original. Craven and Rogue are eyeing an early 2007 start date.

In the film, a pair of adventurous teen girls are kidnapped, raped and murdered by a gang of thugs. The killers unwittingly hole up in the home of one victim's parents, who, upon realizing what their guests did, devise gruesome revenge.

Craven and Cunningham got $90,000 to shoot the original from drive-in theater owners in Boston who wanted cheap second films for double-feature bills. The R rating was self-imposed, since Craven had never heard of the MPAA.

I'm sure this is only gonna piss you horror fans off even more.

But don't act like you didn't know it was gonna happen. Cause you knew it sooner or later it was bound to be made.

I've never really seen the original, so I would say that I didn't care one way or another that they were doing a remake of the movie, but since Wes will have a hand into the makings of it then maybe I will check it out.
