Anybody see the "Last house on the lefT" remake?

Eh? Anybody? Tell us about it.

I still have to see the original, tried it once but found too disturbing. And not in the right way.

The original LHOTL (which is one of the few films I despise) is an important and horrible movie; why would anyone want to remake it?  The original was "good..." eh, BAD enough (or should I say NASTY enough?)

Money.

According to the IMDB today the movie has made $23.9 million so far. I can't imagne how it could have made so much.

Yes, money is always the answer to a question like this.   

I'm a little surprised that Craven didn't direct the remake himself, actually.  Controversy and "historical importance" aside, the directing was so awful that I would have thought he'd want to make amends and show how much he's improved over the years.
