Women in Horror: Sydney’s Revenge in Scream

The Final Girl
February 20, 2018
Women in Horror
So we already have a morality tale with Scream, and on top of that, we have hyper-aware teens who know they are in a horror movie.

The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 (1984) vs The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)

Corin Totin
April 21, 2017
Versus
Perhaps the most glaring of these is the fact that the 1984 version shamelessly recycles footage from the first film.

The Hills Have Eyes (1977) vs The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

Corin Totin
April 7, 2017
Versus
The most important thing however, is to keep the elements that made the original film work in the first place, which Aja has done while infusing it with his own style of gorgeous brutality.

Women in Horror: Wes Craven’s Red Eye

Laura Akers
February 26, 2017
Women in Horror
Lisa Reisert’s ability to handle herself isn’t something brought out by the trauma she suffers in the movie.

The Final Girl: Scream 2: Reinventing Horror

The Final Girl
January 9, 2017
The Final Girl
In the world of Scream, only the feminists survive.

THE FINAL GIRL FULLY FORMED: Wes Craven’s Red Eye

Laura Akers
September 2, 2016
Schlock & Awe
But the same things I loved about Nightmare emerged—more fully formed—in Red Eye.

EVERYTHING IS A MOVIE: Dying Laughing with Scream

Peterson Hill
September 2, 2016
Schlock & Awe
Craven made some really great films, but Scream, to me, is the one that demonstrates every ounce of his talent.

Who’s Dreaming Who? Wes Craven’s New Nightmare

Brian K Millard
September 1, 2016
Schlock & Awe
New Nightmare has an incredible premise and a very meta, self-referential storyline, blending reality with fiction, and having fun with its own genre.

Freddy’s Sweater: Revisiting A Nightmare on Elm St in Honor of Wes

The Final Girl
August 31, 2016
Schlock & Awe
My first memory of Wes Craven is watching A Nightmare on Elm St (1984), at the age of six or seven.

MY GOD, WHAT AM I? Family vs Family in The Hills Have Eyes

Raul Reyes
August 30, 2016
Schlock & Awe
The Hills Have Eyes is a story about two families, and the lengths they go to stay alive.

A THING APART: The Nihilistic Morals of The Last House On the Left

John E. Meredith
August 30, 2016
Schlock & Awe
There couldn't have been a more appropriate movie than LAST HOUSE to greet the slow and painful end of the Vietnam era.

Scream 4: Sidney’s Final Kill

The Final Girl
February 25, 2016
The Final Girl
Scream 4 (2011) has a warm, flannel-covered 90’s feel with the original Scream cast members.

31 Days of Halloween 2015: Day 30 – Going to Pieces

John E. Meredith
October 30, 2015
Movies, Reviews
GOING TO PIECES is a historical and critical look at the much-maligned slasher films that really took off in the early '80s.

Surviving SAW: The Heroine of Torture Porn

The Final Girl
September 22, 2015
The Final Girl
I watched SAW because I would literally rather watch torture porn then cry through a Wes Craven movie. And as it happens, SAW did not suck.

Swamp Thing (1982)

John Clark
August 5, 2015
Haphazard Stuff's Superhero Series
Craven set out to adapt the DC Comics character Swamp Thing to the big screen and make a film as action-packed and entertaining as possible.

Daisy’s Revenge: Playing Mom on MTV’s Scream

The Final Girl
July 28, 2015
The Final Girl
Many fans of the original Scream franchise by Wes Craven have remained skeptical of MTV’s same­name show.

Sidney’s Revenge: Scream Origins (1996)

The Final Girl
July 14, 2015
The Final Girl
When Scream was released, it turned the horror genre on its head with witty, meta commentary on the rules of horror.

ABCs of Horror Day 04: C is for Craven

Paul Brian McCoy
October 4, 2014
ABCs of Horror, Movies, Reviews
The Nineties, however, would find Craven achieving critical success beyond anyone's expectations.

It was a brutal job; friendships were ruined; marriages crumbled; at least one writer sold their soul (or so I'm told).
