The Luckiest Director



Wes Craven is one of the luckiest directors. why? Because he's not very good! Craven has no real style, he only shines when he has a truly great script. Throughout the years, he's written most of what he's directed, and some of them are classics, but when he has a bad script, he's very bad. There is no Craven style to save anything. Most evident in the latest of the Scream series (Scream 4) the thing feels like it was put together very very fast and it feels like every other piece of crap horror movie out there, because the script is bad, and Wes couldn't save it. That's why I feel Wes Craven is a very lucky director, because he was blessed throughout all his career with good scripts that turned out to be good movies, unlike other more talented directors, who could make a bad script look pretty decent, Wes cannot. He's not a totally awful director, he's very good with actors (and actors love him) but in terms of cinematic style, there is simply none to speak of. That being said, you can kind of get a feeling about my opinion on Scream 4. $$$! Here are some of Wes' most known projects: The Last House On The Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Swamp Thing, A Nightmare On Elm Street, ''The Twilight Zone'', The Serpent And The Rainbow, Shocker, The People Under The Stairs, New Nightmare, Vampire In Brooklyn, Scream, Scream 2, Music Of The Heart, Scream 3, Cursed, Red Eye, My Soul To Take, Scream 4.
