Thanks Ratinho, I'm just adding them to my rental list now.
I didnt really know what to make of TLHOTL. Id heard so much about about it. It was shocking but yet not shocking, and violent but not as violent as other films I have seen. Its hard to explain but I think its a good film to see if you like "shocking" stuff.

DepenRAB why you liked it really. For more horror films made in a similar manner, i.e. quite raw, visceral, 70's shockers etc, check out Vipco's website at http://www.horrorvideo.com. They specialise in this type of film, most of them previously banned for one reason or another.
If it's the theme of the film you liked, i.e. parents of a murdered girl getting the chance to extract revenge, check out The Virgin Spring, which Craven remade as LHOTL.

Not sure if "enjoy" is the right word, but you could see the other 2 films in which David Hess plays a nasty piece of work -
Hitch Hike available on Play for

I wouldn't bother with the 18 version of I Spit On Your Grave; it's cut to smithereens. As for the uncut version, watching it made me realise why we still have censorship in this country.

Straw Dogs
Baise Moi
Requiem for a Dream
The Wicker Man
There was a thread on extreme/shocking films a while back, and it included some great recommendations, but my mind's gone blank at the moment

I saw from the BBFC website that Last House on the Left was passed uncut in 2003. Now it has an 18 certificate it can be shown on TV.
Seems like the sort of thing Channel 4 would put on late at night. They were quick enough to show the Exorcist and Straw Dogs after the video ban was lifted on them; have they (or anyone else) shown Last House on the Left?

OMG My favourite all time "Shocking" film has got to be the Austrian flick "Funny Games"
I remember catching it late night on C4 when they were doing an "extreme cinema" theme a while ago. Since then I bought it on DVD.

The code to access the footage is ABUK666.
Thanks to the recomendations from other members I have since saw The Hills Have Eyes, The Virgin Spring and House On The Edge of the park (with Krug from LHOTL). I also watched Cannibal Holocaust.
I watched the Virgin Spring last night. Its in black and white and subtitled but it was still good. There were a 1 part where I couldnt understand but on the other hand it was a good story.
There was a part I didnt like also, *dont read if you want to see the film*

I didnt like the way he killed the young boy at the end, he had nothing to do with the rape/murder I thought they were gonna let him go or take him in as a son. 
found this hillarious review:
The film starts off with a shower scene, and we get a nice shot of Sandra Cassel's jubblies. She plays the character of Mari, and we soon find out she's going out with a friend, Phyllis, to see a concert featuring a band called Bloodlust. Her parents, are concerned, but she has just turned 17, and you can't keep them on the farm forever. Anyway, as the girls drive into the city, we hear a news broadcast on the radio, going into great detail, about a couple of very nasty criminals who've recently escaped, and are the focal point for a statewide manhunt, along with their two accomplices. We then cut to a seedy apartment where we get to meet these lovely individuals, obviously all New Yorkers given their accents, featuring Krug (Hess), who appears to be the leader, Fred 'Weasel' Podowski (Lincoln), who looks like the illegitimate love child of Joe Pesci and Arnold Horshack, Krug's son Junior (Sheffler), who definitely looks like Arnold Horshack, and finally the group floozie Sadie (Rain). Okay, so now the girls are in the city, and they approach Junior, who just happens to be standing outside, for some wacky tobaccy, to which he lures them up to the apartment (Sadie couldn't handle the three of them I guess so they decided to recruit some fresh meat), and thus begins the defilement. The following day the group decides to leave the city (too much heat) and they toss the girls in the trunk. Their car eventually breaks down out in the country near familiar surroundings, and more defilement takes place in the wooRAB. Eventually retribution comes, and in some very unique forms...
I've heard much over the years about this film, and while it does possess some fairly intense material, I've seen worse (check out some early 80's Italian horror films and you'll see what I mean). Some have stated the film has a documentary feel, but I would disagree...it felt more to me like a no frills, low-budget 70's film with a lot of bad music (you can thank Hess, the actor who played Krug, as he responsible for most of the score, which ranged from weird hippy music to upbeat pianny music...and who was responsible for the audio mixing? The volume on the music was much too high, often overpowering the dialog). There are a number of harsh and brutally graphic scenes, but then this is oRABet by scenes of what I think are supposed to be of a comic nature featuring the local sheriff and his deputy (played by Kove), showcasing their complete ineptitude as law enforcement officials. I think the non-comedic scenes were handled well, as Craven infuses a strong sense of tension, the kind where you want to look away but can't, finally assaulting you with a good deal of the ultra-violence, taking it where few, if any, had gone before at the time, featuring some of the most realistic blood I've seen in a film in a long time. As far as performances go, they were decent, but I felt the guy who played Krug had much more presence than anyone else in the film, and rightfully so as he was the main antagonist. The final act featuring the retribution scenes was odd to me as it seemed unlikely that the characters would have the presence of mind to go to the trouble setting things up the way they did, especially given the circumstances involved (if you've seen the film, you probably understand what I mean, but I don't want to give away any more than I already have), but that's not to say I didn't enjoy it as it provided a suitable outlet given the grotesque nature of the crimes committed by the despicable foursome. I think it's important to note that if you have delicate sensibilities, you should probably avoid this film as it does have a couple of particularly nasty scenes, one involving a disemboweling and another involving a rape. All in all a powerful film with some really weird musical choices.

Well that web site did not show me any more than I have not seen before. Infact that film has never been released with the whole of the "Intestine gutting" intact.
