Nightmare on Elm Street & Serpent and the Rainbow - 80's
Scream trilogy - 90s

and so far Red Eye in 00s

he's great


i think The Hills Have Eyes and Nightmare on Elm St (#1) were enough to give him legendary horror film guy status - but a lot of his other stuff seems to be evidence of his lack of interest in the genre.

i though Red Eye was a pretty bad example to use as a testiment of his greatness :eek:

It's good to see I'm not the only one who feels this way:cool:

Seriously, I give him credit for the few good ones he's done. He's got what I like to call the Stephen King syndrome. Turn out a few pieces of brilliant work, ride the wave all the way home by throwing your name on any piece of trash and collecting royalties.

Wishmaster was not one of the best movies to attach you name to...but Wes Craven does come up with some good movies. But what filmmaker doesnt come up with some crap films during his career? I mean they have to start somewhere and most of them (im not saying all of them) will start with a really bad movie that holds some tiny morsel of good in it so they get noticed.....

and then some film makers fizzle out for a few years or their careers slide because they are comfortable in their status and believe that any film they make will be a hit because of their privous ones.

all in all...even the most genious of film makers will make a real doozy, or two, or three...they're human like everyone else.

But i do like Wes Cravens stuff.

i saw serpent in the rainbow recently. i have to say i was very disapointed. i seemed just like a normal horor film, nothing special.
