Even by todays standards, there are very few movies that take a chance with the things and being "hit" by the audience like Craven done with LHOTL, I mean, how many movies...both before and after this was made has a guy getting his Wang bit off? That still makes me wince! :D

actually I'd rather watch Music of the Heart than Scream. In case you don't know that's another Craven film.

I agree that LHOTL broke a lot of ground, and is still in a class with very few players. There is the bathtub scene in I Spit on Your Grave too!

Like I said in an earlier post, the way Craven portrayed cruelty and indifference for human life is what made it so disturbing for me. It is not a glossy, big name actors, and movie by today's or even the 1970's standards. The plot/storyline is bathed in realism, and you really feel like in certain scenes that you are there on the sidelines watching the story unfold. Some of the music and acting are campy, but it is a great film, and I agree probably Craven's best.

Last House on the Left was great. Very few movies can be that unsettling.

As for LHOTL and Hills Have Eyes being his only 2 good movies... Well, that's just wiggity-whack, yall.

Last House on the Left
The Hills Have Eyes
People Under the Stairs
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Nightmare on Elm St.
Scream (Like it or not, it reinvented the genre.)
Swamp Thing (Okay, it's not great, but it has it's moments.)
Shocker
New Nightmare
Nightmare on Elm St. 3
Dracula 2000 (Producer)

Okay so some people might not like them all, but there is a lot more than 2 good movies in that bunch.
