(in chronological order) |
 Last House
on the Left (1972)
This violent, gruesome classic sets rape victims exacting revenge on
their
tormentors. Cravens first real horror venture, it's raw, grittiness may be
unappealing to
some. Although dated by today's standards, it may leave you with a bad feeling.
Stars: David Hess, Judy Gratham
Director: Wes Craven
Rating: R
Runtime: 83 minutes |
 The Hills
Have Eyes (1977)
This movie will make you think twice about taking a vacation camping! Supposedly
taken from true accounts, it's a story of inbred cannibals living in the hills that
capture unsuspecting campers for breeding and food. Actually not bad for a B-movie mood.

 Deadly Blessing
(1981)

 Swamp Thing (1982)
An accident with dangerous chemicals turns an unsuspecting scientist into a

Jourdan

Classic thriller about a serial killer invading the dreams of a group of teens. It

 Wes
Craven's New Nightmare(1994)
Cravens' last Freddy film, this one involves the whole plot coming into real life

tribute to horror genre. Filled with in-jokes, this movie is a must for horror lovers! One
of our favorite Craven films of all times!
Stars: Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich,
Courtney Cox

Rating: R

 Scream2 (1998)
The sequel that shouldn't have been made. Some people just can't leave well enough
alone. A very lame story line, this seems to have been made only to cash in on Scream's
success at the box office. A very poor sequel in our opinion.
Stars: Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox
Director: Wes Craven
Rating: R
