Very much agreed, Josh. I don't think Craven is a hack. That said, he's had a very odd career of ups-and-downs......
1972 - The Last House On The Left
Not a perfect movie, but an overall great debut.
1977 - The Hills Have Eyes
Another classic.
1978 - Summer of Fear (TV)
A decent little film, but nothing special.
1981 - Deadly Blessing
I haven't seen this one, but all accounts point towards it being a mediocre misfire.
1982 - Swamp Thing
I like this one, but it is not a great movie.
1984 - Invitation To Hell (TV)
I don't recall this being very good at all.
1984 - A Nightmare On Elm Street
Classic!
1985 - The Hills Have Eyes Part II
Come on, Wes! What the hell?!?!? This is a piece of shit.
1985 - Chiller (TV)
Crap!
1986 - Casebusters (TV)
Crap!
1986 - Deadly Friend
Hilariously awful.
1988 - The Serpent and the Rainbow
That's more like it! Another great effort!
1989 - Shocker
An entertaining misfire, mostly held together by Mitch Pileggi's performance.
1990 - Night Terrors (TV)
Crap!
1991 - The People Under The Stairs
Back to solid filmmaking again! Another great one!
1994 - New Nightmare
Uneven at times, but this is another good one.
1995 - Vampire In Brooklyn
And we're back to crap again.
1996 - Scream
Another classic!
1997 - Scream II
A solid sequel.
1999 - Music of the Heart
I haven't seen this, but apparently it's a solid little drama. This was a passion project for Wes and kudos to him for getting it made.
2000 - Scream III
Back to crap again!
2005 - Cursed
Shit! (Though I wonder what the original version would have been like if the Weinsteins hadn't nixed it part of the way into the shoot and forced a complete rewrite/re-casting).
2005 - Red Eye
And then we get a great one in the same year! Wes, you confuse me!
2010 - My Soul To Take
Shit!
2011 - Scream IV
Another solid sequel.
Long story short? Watching a Wes Craven movie is like playing Russian roulette. The results are always explosive, but sometimes not in the way you want them to be.
This movie was pretty awsome if u like the 80's B horror. Its on Netflix
Where the hell are u gonna find gravey flavored condoms in any other movie ...........huh............... I LOVE U TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny. Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
this is the song to have fun on.
