Here's a synopsis for The Last House in the Woods from the official website for the movie: "Aurora (Daniela Virgilio) and Rino (Daniele Grassetti) are two youngsters who decide to go look for a little privacy with their car in the woods one night. Unfortunately very soon a group of bullies (David Pietroni, Geremia Longobardo and Cristiano Callegaro) assaults them, and when everything seems lost, an older couple (Rino Diana and Santa De Santis) steps in and takes their defenses. Antonio and Clara, these are their names, invite Aurora and Rino to their house in the woods, to calm down and forget this bad moment. The two accept this kind invitation, soon to discover...."

Here's a description of The Last House in the Woods from the website of Sci-Fi-London: "Chainsaws, continental chavs and cannibalistic children - the Italian splatter movie is back! ¶ Aurora and Rino are making out in the woods when a local gang assaults them. Just when everything seems lost, an older couple, Antonio and Clara, step in to save the day. ¶ They invite Aurora and Rino to their house in the woods to calm down. The two accept this kind invitation, only to discover it was the worst decision they could have made. ¶ With references to the seventies shockers such as LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972) and THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977), this film is a dark, hard edged horror, while the film's style and themes betray a debt to Italian gore classics such as BAY OF BLOOD (1970) and the films of Dario Argento."
