I find Craven really frustrating. I agree with those who say that he makes some really great movies - the original NoES, Red Eye, New Nightmare, etc. - and some good ones - Serpent and the Rainbow, Scream 1 - but there's a lot of bad stuff mixed in, too.
He's an interesting guy, though. I heard him interviewed on the radio a few years back about the fantasy/SF novel he wrote and was really impressed by his thoughtfulness and introspection.
Here's hoping he comes up with more good movies in the future.
