Back in August we lost an iconic filmmaker and hero among the horror movie lovers in Wes Craven. So, it is way long overdue that two guys who felt that their film tastes were formed and their creative fires were sparked by his works would finally get around to appropriately celebrating his career. This week Scott and I review five Wes Craven pictures, which are his redefining '90s slasher picture,
Scream; his innovative reimagining of his most popular picture in
New Nightmare; his attempt at horror comedy in the Eddie Murphy vehicle
Vampire in Brooklyn; a claustrophobic thriller in
Red Eye; and finally one of his rare straight dramas in the Meryl Streep starring
Music of the Heart.
As always if you love the show then please spread the word.
Rating Rundown:
Scream **** (CS) & ***½ (SM)
Wes Craven's New Nightmare *** (CS) & ***½ (SM)
Vampire in Brooklyn * (CS & SM)
Red Eye *** (CS & SM)
Music of the Heart *** (CS & SM)
