Wes Craven
 

Well, what does everyone think of him?

Personally, Im not really a fan. NOES was great, Cursed sucked, and Chiller was pretty close to the worst movie Ive ever seen. Thats all Ive seen from him though...

...
 

He did direct some really good movies.

The Serpent and the Rainbow
The People under the Stairs
Nightmare on Elm Street

There's also The Hills have Eyes and Scream... I didn't like They or cursed though, so I guess his new movies aren't too hot imo.

Im pretty sure he just produced They, didnt he? I didnt mind it myself...wasnt great, wasnt awful. It was just sorta...there.

...
 

You're probably right about that. I hate they advertise a movie produced by a famous director... they make you think they directed it.

He's like the king of doing that...gets his name attached to everything.

shocker was fun....so was people under the stairs, i mean it wasn't at all good, but i remember bein' like 14 and seein it in the theater.

Re: Wes Craven
 

i remember him stating in an interview that he is heavily influenced by Jean Cocteau.Wes Craven seems to favor that surreal realm even though the bulk of his storeytelling is seated in reality.

i.e last house,hills have eyes,people under the stairs,scream,red eye etc.

Last House on the Left is genius, Scream was really good, People Under the Stairs was fantastic, NOES is overrated but not bad, so I guess I like him.
