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.
