My favorite thing about the trailer for the remake of THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT isn't the gratuitous disrobing, the exuberant violence, the bizarro version of "Sweet Child 'O Mine" or the intriguing cast (Tony Goldwyn, Garret Dillahunt, Monica Potter, some hotties).
It's that the marketing people have conveniently condensed the entire film to two and a half minutes, thereby freeing up the other 90 minutes I might have otherwise spent watching it.
The movie is, of course, the remake of Wes Craven's early, raw tale of bad people doing seriously nasty things. Director Dennis Iliadis handles the thugs and rape and murder and vengeance for Rogue Pictures' redo.

You can condense the story, but you can't condense the Dillahunt, mate. ;)
