It's all really just a matter of taste. After all one of my favorites is The Blair Witch Project even though I think it could've been done better. And despite what everyone else says about it, no one can contest the fact that the scene with the giggling child's hand being pressed into the side of the tent was genuinely creepy. In fact, this film is a large inspiration for my first feature-length film. I will say that Scream was Craven's last great feat as a horror director. I hated Cursed. However, as a thriller director (i.e. - Red Eye), I think he has a bright future.
