Stills from The Serpent and the Rainbow, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes
Wes Craven is widely recognized as a master of horror, known for his ability to push the boundaries of the genre and create unforgettable movies that have left a lasting impact on audiences and filmmakers alike. Throughout his career, Craven made some of the most iconic and terrifying movies in horror history, blending psychological tension with visceral scares.
Shocker is one of Craven's campiest movies, with its bizarre and surreal tone and a villain jumping between electronic devices and humans. The idea of fighting and catching an almost invincible serial killer who you can touch, trace or stop from moving is frightening. Moreover, the movie is filled with viscerally violent and graphic scenes filled with the gore of Pinker's murders. In fact, the movie was edited to go down from an X rating to an R rating.
Red Eye is one of Craven's most underrated movies, with a terrifying performance from Murphy and a vulnerable, heartfelt performance from McAdams. The horror in Red Eye is very claustrophobic, as Lisa has no way to run to escape Jackson. She is trapped in a plane in the air with nowhere to go. She tries her best to escape, but Jackson predicts her every move, making him even more terrifying. With a runtime under 90 minutes, the pacing of Red Eye is tight and filled with suspense.
The Serpent and the Rainbow is a zombie movie. However, it is a very unique take on the zombie genre as it is rooted in accounts of real life Hatitian practices and beliefs rather than fictional tropes. The Serpent and the Rainbow explores themes of colonial exploitation, as a Western company wishes to exploit a cultural practice in Haiti. The scariest part of the movie is Peytraud who is immensely powerful, whether in politics or even due to his supernatural superpowers.
