Would watch Cronenberg's Howard the Duck, wouldn't watch Craven's Blade.

I think Craven is really, really smart, but his movies are pretty much dumb distillations of smart ideas. "Red Eye" makes me wish he did more than horror.

Last House is defensible, but I have no idea what people see in The Hills Have Eyes.

But since someone brought up The American Nightmare, I have to admit that Craven gives the smartest interviews.

I interviewed him a few times, and he was always so smart and thoughtful. :(

Bummed out. The original The Hills Have Eyes and Serpent And The Rainbow are all-time.

yeah RIP. I don't think he ever really delivered a 100% great film but he was a remarkable bellwether for the genre across 3 decades, and when he was good (Nightmare II, Scream) he was fun.
