If it wasn't for his trio of horror hits (Last House, Nightmare, and Scream), I think he would be lumped in with all of the other work for hire directors. Would "Red Eye" have been any different with Peter Hyams or John Badham behind the camera? This isn't a bad thing, I really liked "Red Eye," but I don't think only Craven could have made it. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Craven has said on a number of occassions he doesn't really enjoy horror movies that much, and if it wasn't for the success of "Last House" which lead to "Nightmare" he probably could have gotten out of them. Whereas with people like Carpenter, Raimi, Romero, etc. you can see their love of the genre in every frame and their attempt to do something unique. However, it makes you wonder how someone that could make two truly bizarre horror films (Serpent and the Rainbow and The People Under the Stairs) would show a lack of interest in the genre.<BR/><BR/>I also think that it is a shame we don't get T.V. movies like this anymore. I remember in the eighties, crap like this would come on prime-time all the time. Now about the closest thing we get is a terrible Stephen King adaptation. I miss the days of Terrorvision and Trilogy of Terror, and yes, Invitation to Hell even. Craven also had another made for T.V. film that I believe was called "Chiller" if you can track it down. Good stuff.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-16752380812159602432007-08-12T10:51:00.000-07:002007-08-12T10:51:00.000-07:00Fixed!Fixed!BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-22986866627120223562007-08-12T09:47:00.000-07:002007-08-12T09:47:00.000-07:00I AM TRYING TO COMMENT ON A DEAD CALLING AND THE C...I AM TRYING TO COMMENT ON A DEAD CALLING AND THE COMMENT LINK IS NOT THERE.
