The Last House on the Beach (Italian: La settima donna, also known as Terror and The Seventh Woman) is a 1978 Italian rape and revenge- thriller film directed by Franco Prosperi.
The American title refers to Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left, and Alexandra Heller-Nicholas stated how "combining the nunsploitation subgenre with rape-revenge, the film deviates plot-wise from The Last House on the Left substantially, but arrives at a similar ethical conclusion". [2]
It was argued that the final scene of the movie inspired the final scene in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. [3] [4] [5]
The Last House on the Beach was Franco Prosperi's second film as a director he made for producer Pino Burichhi. [1]
The Last House on the Beach was distributed in Italy by Magirus and released on April 20, 1978. [1] Roberto Curti, author of Italian Crime Filmography 1968-1980 described the film as "performing very poorly in the Italian box office". [1] It grossed a total of 25.4 million Italian lira on its theatrical release. [1]
Roberto Curti stated that the film was one of the sleaziest sexploitation films. [1] Curti noted that the plot progression was minimal, and what was left was "a succession of grim, misogynist and exploitative scenes: adolescent nudes, slow motion sodomizations, vicious wounds, assorted killings."
