The only films of his I don't like too much are Music Of The Heart and Red Eye, the former is a weak drama that Meryl Streep is completely wasted in, the latter is an average and extremely forgettable thriller.

Meryl was nominated for an Oscar with her 'wasted' performance in Music of the Heart eh? lol
Anyway - I love all his films in their own way, Cursed was probably his more generic studio film with to much CGI and to many re-shoots.
Vampire in Brooklyn takes the cake.
"This Town Needs an Enema!"
The Joker -

Swamp Thing, The Hills Have Eyes Part II and Vampire in Brooklyn are three of the worst films I've ever seen. I'm also not mu2000ch of a fan of Scream 2, Scream 3 and Cursed, but they're at least watchable.
Haven't seen Deadly Blessing, Invitation to Hell, Shocker, Chiller or My Soul to Take, and I liked Deadly Friend more than most people seem to. -

Mine are Last house on the left (the original can't stand this movie) I do not see why people rave about this movie so much it is boring, not really scary or shocking and has way to much comedy in it.
2 would be Hills Have eyes part 2. -

It sure as hell was shocking for a 1972 movie!! It was not meant to be scary. It was meant to be disturbing and that it was, seeing these 2 women violated and then murdered. Boring? Well, that says more about YOU than it does about the movie.

I haven't seen many of his films, but I really disliked New Nightmare. It had some interesting ideas but I ultimately found it to be overly pretentious and I felt like I was watching Craven throw a tantrum at the Nightmare franchise and how it had managed to grow into something so iconic without his influence.
I have nothing against the man, may he rest in peace, but I really disliked this film. -

New Nightmare was great. Wes had every reason to be pissed at how the destroyed his original character and made millions upon millions off his ideals while Wes got nothing, as he sold his rights to get the film made when Bob Shaye could not get all the money. New Line finally gave him a little money but way less than what he should have gotten.
Let's talk about Freddy. They turned a vile child molester/killer into someone the audience rooted for by stripping the horror, or as Wes said "watering it down to make it an easier sell." The movie really explored the violence of cinema, deconstructing horror and the people who work in it and it did it way better than Scream. It also took Freddy back to his dark roots in a brilliant way. I hated the later sequels and how the neutered Freddy. That's why I love New Nightmare.
Haters gonna hate
Please & Thanks!!!
