Wacko Flick!
 

Last House on the Left is the sickest horror movie of all times no doubt. I mean to make a movie like that you really must have a fucked up mind! I loved it!

Well put!:)
Couldn't have said it better myself!

Lets look at this list. Hmmmmmm. Yep, mostly all good films. The Serpent and the Rainbow was very good and based on a true story and while Swamp Thing was a bit on the juvinile side, it dis have Adriene Barbeau in a wet T-shirt! You can't argue with that!
As for the rest of the list, all are good in their own right and some can be considered very original. The films above are all worthy.

Creative not fucked up.

Aren't they often the same thing? ;)

not all the time.

If you thought LHOTL was disturbing, go rent (or buy) Cannibal Holocaust. You will never look at LOTL as anything but tame again.



And yeah... Shocker is probably one of Wes Craven's worst.

To say that Craven is just plain "crap" is insane, think about the films he has made and how many of those films have been landmark genre bending films, Last house on the left made Exploitation film solid, A nightmare on elm street pretty much started the idea of franchise horror movie characters and spawned countless sequels some of which are fantastic, mainly number 3 and a new nightmare, serpant and the rainbow was incredibly intelligent and well made, and to get stuck into Swamp thing is very unfair considering the circumstances Wes faced when making this film, the thing that really bothers me about people attacking wes' directing ability is that people always seem to attack Scream, but also people tend to forget that once again Wes created a new change for the genre, and sure Wes has made some bad movies, but havent most directors done that? Lucio fulci made countless crap films but his good ones are EXCELLENT, Dario argento made the card player which is a prime example of a steller director fucking up. I could go on but i wont bother, i think people need to open their eyes a little and look at what Wes has done for the genre as a whole, and also his ability to create trends in the genre, i havent ever seen another director set trends in this genre like Wes ever.

cough* hills have eyes part 2 *cough

if you're lucky enough to have found the uncut origional release ...

she doesnt have a tshirt at all :D

I believe that was Halloween.

I've gotta find that one:D

its rare .. i found it in my 'used place' for like 10$
it goes for about $40 on ebay.

some times i'm lucky :)

Actually, Universal started the whole frachise thing way back in the 30's and 40's with the Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolfman films. Movies like Friday the 13th, Holloween and Nightmare on Elm Street just gave it a needed booster shot.

That's right: the Smug, Knowing Horror Film (wink wink!).

He even nicked his Elm Street premise from The Slayer.

Bearded git.

I dont even think scream should be classified as a horror flick ...it sucked ...Last house on the left was deff. his best...but I am also a big freddy fan.....the whole dream thing was brilliant...

scream should be a modern classic cause it was absolutly original at its time. also freddy was cool, 1 was great,2 no, 3 great, 4 ok, 5 ok, 6 ok, 7 terrible.

Ya I feel the same about the nightmare series....nightmare 2 only thing it had was freddy was still scarry not funny, and part 6 they didnt even show how the hell he was resserected??

yeah. they didnt show how he was resurected part 6 but the story and ideas were cool. i loved when spencer was trippen and the game part.

WoW.....Great graphics....

" wait, you forgot the pwer glove"

I first heard of this film but was clueless as to what it's content was. Everyone told me it was not anything someone should watch.

So you know, that means I had to see it eventually.

When I this I was thinking to myself, " This my be a good movie but it certainly doesn't look anything bad".

I thought that only within the first 10 minutes of the film.

When this movie was finished I thought I was not going to be able to sleep that night.

There are many things that I can't stomach from this film.

It sort of looks like a snuff film in how the camera invades the scenes with horrible realism.

I found this movie so disturbing. I honestly had much more respect for women after watching this.

And the time my girlfriend wanted to watch this with me because of the same reasons I wanted to see it. I felt like a piece of shit 'cuz I knew she would get really freaked out.

what movie are you talking about?

henry: portrit of a serial killer?

How else would you classify it?

Whether you thought it sucked or not isnt really relevant to what genre it would be placed in so where would you put it, if not in horror?

same thing I was thinking, I think Jason X sucked but it's still horror.

Jason X was satirical, in the same vein as Bride of Chuckey.


As for Wes, am I the only one who thought People Under the Stairs kicked ass?

no

thats some extremely weak satire ..(Jason X)
it didnt work for me on any level at all.
The only thing that i thought was remotely amusing was the guy who was run through with Jasons machette while jason was still frozen (even in suspended animation - he still kills)
but the rest was deplorable ..

Seed of Chucky is supposed to be extremely satirical ...lots of hollywood in jokes , etc ..


i thought that the people under the stairs was pretty decent..

Nope. I did too. I like a lot of Wes Craven movies. (Although I just saw Cursed and that wasn't much more than American Ginger Snaps with the hip young cast.)

Hills Have Eyes, Last House..., NOES, People Under the Stairs are all extremely good. Wes reinvented/redefined the genre on the first three and People Under the Stairs is one of the most underrated movies I can think of.

When you throw his next tier of movies in (Scream, Serpent and the Rainbow, Swamp Thing, NOES3, and New Nightmare.) there really shouldn't even be any debate about whether or not he is one of the top horror film makers of all time.

Of course, like all directors, he's done some less than stellar films as well, (Scream 2, Scream 3, Shocker, Vampire in Brooklyn or Hills Have Eyes 2), but by and large, he is one of the best horror directors working in Hollywood right now.

That part was great, but the best pat was at the very end when Jason is floating through space back towards the ship and then that black guy comes out of no where and space tackles him into the abyss. I laughed so hard I almost cried.

i liked all of wes cravens films with the exception of shocker.

i dont get why people give scream 2 or 3 so much shit. they werent that bad, and as for sequels they are some of the best in the last 20 years.

in my opinion craven is the master of horror. yeah on acasion he fucks up, but even with his fuck ups his goodies make him the master of horror.

Ya its horror ill give it that...but its the kind of horror my ol lady likes to watch more of a mystery type thing..

I was talking about the topical film, Last House on the Left

Best part = Cyber Crystal Lake.


"We love premarital sex!"

*beats them to death with each other in sleeping bags*

I liked that movie and all of wes's movies something about 70's and rape sorta tied it all together.

The last house on the Left.
 

I just finished watching the 100 greatest moments in horror movies. 2 I truly have to get me hands on. The last house on the left and Children shouldn't play with dead things.

I've heard of it. :)
