As for Wes, am I the only one who thought People Under the Stairs kicked ass?

Nope. I did too. I like a lot of Wes Craven movies. (Although I just saw Cursed and that wasn't much more than American Ginger Snaps with the hip young cast.)
Hills Have Eyes, Last House..., NOES, People Under the Stairs are all
extremely good. Wes reinvented/redefined the genre on the first three and People Under the Stairs is one of the most underrated movies I can think of.
When you throw his next tier of movies in (Scream, Serpent and the Rainbow, Swamp Thing, NOES3, and New Nightmare.) there really shouldn't even be any debate about whether or not he is one of the top horror film makers of all time.
Of course, like all directors, he's done some less than stellar films as well, (Scream 2, Scream 3, Shocker, Vampire in Brooklyn or Hills Have Eyes 2), but by and large, he is one of the best horror directors working in Hollywood right now.
