I can't imagine I'm going to be too popular in stating this, but it is a sad fact that Wes Craven is the biggest sell-out in recent film history. What exactly happened to this guy? "The Last House On The Left" was incredible, filled with rage and post-vietnam poison, with "The Hills Have Eyes" he still showed what talent and raw energy he had in the early years of his career. Then along came the farce that was "A Nightmare On Elm Street" - A film that single-handedly managed to turn the genre into a living joke - Introducing latex special fx, comic amounts of blood, crappy one-liners and other elements that has precisely fuck-all to do with good horror. Anything else he has touched since then has been equally dissapointing. What about "Scream" you ask? What about a brilliant script job from Kevin Williamson? He's surely hit rock bottom now - Credited on some of the worst bargain basement stuff about - Producer on "Wishmaster 10: Please End It Now" and make-up assistant (or something) on "They". Whatever happened to my heroes? John Carpenter looks like he's lost it forever, Sam Raimi has moved on to other genres. Eli Roth looks like he's the only one with enough balls to remind us of how great the Americans once where at making horror movies. Christ, even we had "Hammer Horror" once!
