Best Wes Craven Film - Blu-ray Forum

Which Wes Craven directed film do you prefer?

I went with Nightmare on Elm Street, although most of those films are really good.

I agree. I also went with Nightmare, but love almost everything that Wes does. He has many great movies and I would like to see more released on blu-ray.

Nightmare on elm street. classic

Dark Steel · 05-18-2008, 12:51 PM

Ditto

Elandyll · 05-19-2008, 09:23 PM

Most overrated Horror film director -ever-

Well, along with Romero

NightMare on Elm Street, his best work, Rainbow being imo his last good film (1988).

Darkseekers onaplane · 05-19-2008, 09:47 PM

Red Eye!

"A Nightmare on Elm Street" is the undisputed king of all Wes Craven movies! In second through fifth place, however, are Scream 1, 2, 3 and Red Eye.

DetroitSportsFan · 05-20-2008, 12:35 AM

I liked:

Swamp Thing [1982]
A Nightmare on Elm Street [1984]
Deadly Friend [1986]
The Serpent and the Rainbow [1988]
The People Under the Stairs [1991]
Wes Craven's New Nightmare [1994]
Scream [1996]
Scream 2 [1997]
Scream 3 [2000]

JPQ411 · 05-20-2008, 12:54 AM

I thought that Red Eye was one of the better films that came out in 2005. It was not the typical slasher movie he is known for making.

Clark Kent · 05-20-2008, 12:59 AM

Scream by far. It's the best post-modern Horror movie which deconstructed the slasher genre perfectly.

sj001 · 05-20-2008, 01:12 AM

The Original Nightmare On Elm Street is an easy pick for this one.

Gizz · 02-19-2013, 09:35 AM

Voted for Wes Craven's New Nightmare as his best but do also love The First Nightmare on Elm Street film and like the Scream series as well.

AKORIS · 02-20-2013, 04:13 PM

Scream is my favorite--

runners up

The Hills Have Eyes
ANOES (though this one hasn't aged as well as others to me....)
Scream 2
Red Eye

Trigger89 · 02-20-2013, 08:18 PM

Scream gets my vote. A fantastic flick that revived the horror genre.

arcadeforest · 02-21-2013, 02:35 AM

A Nightmare on Elm Street

assydingo · 03-12-2013, 09:52 AM

NOES - Possibly my favourite horror series.
Scream - Terrifies me. Something about the mask I think. The way the outfit blends in with darkness. That face between a clown, a ghost, and pale death. The Boy Meets World episode was practically scarier than the movies. Wish we still got unique episodes like that on otherwise normal TV shows.
MSTK - Digged the characters.

dallywhitty · 03-12-2013, 10:47 AM

The Last House on the Left is still my favourite of his films.
