Feature directorial debut for filmmaker Wes Craven, best known for the huge successful "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. The parents accidentally find out the identities of the killers, because of a stolen locket and some blood-stained clothing in their baggage. Enraged, the father takes on the gang single-handedly and murders them. Setting aside the modern details, this is roughly the plot of Ingmar Bergman's "The Virgin Spring." "Last House on the Left" is a tough, bitter little sleeper of a movie that's about four times as good as you'd expect.

"Three people lost their lives today. And the most I can ask the community is that we honor and respect them for all the work they've done." Officials believe two people fired at law enforcement, Jennings said. Jennings said the fallen officers were "heroes that were just simply trying to keep our community safe."

He also called for more funding for law enforcement and for Congress to do more to combat gun violence. The secretary of the state Adult Corrections Department identified two of the other people killed as Samuel Poloche and William "Alden" Elliott, both of whom had been with the department for 14 years and were on the marshals task force. The city's police chief announced Monday night that a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer who had been wounded, Joshua Eyer, had also died. According to a preliminary investigation released Friday by the Committee to Protect Journalists, nearly 100 journalists have been killed covering the war in Gaza. Israel has defended its actions, saying it has been targeting militants. An election-year roast of President Joe Biden before journalists, celebrities and politicians at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday butted up against growing public discord over the Israel-Hamas war.

Rarely has there been so little distance between an audience and the raw emotion a film’s characters are experiencing on screen. After they change out of their bloody clothes, the gang goes to the Collingwoods' home, masquerading as traveling salesmen. Later, when Junior is in the midst of heroin withdrawal, Estelle enters the bathroom to check on him and sees Mari's peace symbol necklace around his neck. She finds blood-soaked clothing in their luggage and overhears them talking about Mari's death and her disposal in a nearby lake. Eyer, the CMPD officer whose death was announced Monday night, is survived by his wife and a 3-year-old son, the police chief said. "We mourn for them and their loved ones. And we pray for the recoveries of the courageous officers who were wounded," the president said in a statement.

Before they know it, they’re trapped in a room with a gang of recent prison escapees, led by Krug (David A Hess), a rapist and serial killer. Many different versions of the film exist on various DVD and VHS releases struck from different cuts of the film, many of them from different countries. To get a completely uncut version is difficult as even some cinema machinists cut footage from prints of the movie before screening it during the 1970s; many copies were cut or "hacked to pieces" and because of this, some scenes have become rarities. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police sergeant was on the task force but was not struck by gunfire, Jennings said. The sergeant called for backup, and that's when the four responding Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers were shot, Jennings said.

Blaming a rogue powerline as the culprit, especially after a very windy night in SoCal. “Since the Israel-Gaza war began, journalists have been paying the highest price — their lives — to defend our right to the truth. Each time a journalist dies or is injured, we lose a fragment of that truth,” CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la Serna said in a statement. One organizer complained that the White House Correspondents’ Association — which represents the hundreds of journalists who cover the president — largely has been silent since the first weeks of the war about the killings of Palestinian journalists. Protest organizers said they aimed to bring attention to the high numbers of Palestinian and other Arab journalists killed by Israel’s military since the war began in October.

When fledgling director Wes Craven took this film to the MPAA, they labeled it with an "X" rating. Wanting an R for wider release, Craven went back and removed 10 minutes of footage. However, this still wasn't enough, and the film still got an "X" rating. Finally, Craven put all of the original footage back in, got an authentic "RATED R" seal of approval from the film board from a friend of his, put it on the film, and released it. Once you get past that initial revulsion – what kind of sicko would even want to see a movie like this? – the soul-sickening dread and panic that underscore the film’s images have a way of seeping into your system for ever.

Counterprotests back Israel’s offensive and complain of antisemitism. “Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide,” crowds chanted at one point. Despite being similar in age, Biden said, the two presidential hopefuls have little else in common.

On the other, it’s a film full of such pitiless sadism that UK censors refused to certify the film for cinema release, and in the 1980s it was placed on a list of potentially obscene “video nasties” – it then remained unavailable in uncut form in Britain until 2008. It took that long for the film to not be understood as a mere obscenity, without redeeming value. Estelle and her husband rush into the woods, where they find Mari's body and decide to take revenge.

There is a moment of such sheer and unexpected terror that it beats anything in the heart-in-the-mouth line since Alan Arkin jumped out of the darkness at Audrey Hepburn in "Wait Until Dark." The next morning, Mari and Phyllis are bound, gagged, and put in the trunk of Krug's car and transported to the woods. Phyllis is forced to urinate in her jeans, and Mari and Phyllis are forced to perform sexual acts on each other. Phyllis distracts the kidnappers to give Mari an opportunity to escape but is chased by Sadie and Weasel, while Junior stays behind to guard Mari.

Aside from the president, vice president, first lady, second gentleman and all your favorite news anchors, here are the biggest stars attending this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner. As the task force attempted to serve the warrant, the subject of the warrant, who was not publicly identified, began shooting with a high-powered rifle, Jennings said. Task force members returned fire and killed the suspect in the home's front yard, he said.
