Wes Craven's New Nightmare

Now I have to admit that I was never a huge fan of the Nightmare series, but enjoyed Wes's other works.

I watched New Nightmare tonight and I have to say "WOW!". I really really enjoyed this movie. Not only was it great fun to watch, but thinking about the script and the directing it made it that much better. This movie on its own raised Wes up a notch for me. He is now tied with Carpenter as my favorite. The best thing about Wes is that he seems to get better and better.

What do you all think?

Don

If anything, I think more clearly now than ever before. I know now that there is such a thing as a living Evil. A dark and shapeless thing that lives not in the spaces we know, but between them. In the Dark. In the night. And it wants the exact same thing as you and I: a chance at warm life on this Earth. It doesn't care that is already had that chance ...once. Now listen closely because there isn't much time. Listen and believe, because it's all true."

I like some of Wes Craven's stuff, and I don't care for some of Wes Craven's stuff...

Point is, there is no point, except for the simple fact that we can all agree that "Wes Craven" is one slick sounding name.

I love New Nightmare. I think it's one of his most significant contributions to the genre.

I always liked this film being that it dealt with the supposed "real life" characters. Could have used more Freddy appearances, I think.

Entertaining movie.

The Hills Have Eyes is still Craven's best, IMO.

I have to agree, it's raw, it's weird and it just feels non-hollywood.

This is definitely one of my favorite Craven movies.

It seems that lately, though, he has been producing nothing but utter garbage. All this teeny bopper BS horror pisses me off, and he seems to be the leader of the pack when it comes to directing these retarded movies.
