Craven's best film by a distance

It is showcased his satirical talents way before Scream.

Definitely in my top 5 favorite Craven flicks.

And I'd say it was much better than any of the Scream movies. Wes Craven was a great director who will be sorely missed and this film proves how talented he was.

Agreed. PPL, Shocker, Serpent, Swamp Thing all such Craven Classics!

Definitely Wes Craven's best film.

I like Shocker more but this is a memorable movie.

Better than A Nightmare On Elm Street?

It's good, but ANOES is better.

have people been watching this on horror channel as noticed it was on last night.

I haven't, buy might've done had I known it was on.

I saw that this topic was trending, and commented on a few posts. Maybe the fact it was on The Horror Channel was the reason it was trending.

It was pretty good but I much prefer The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream

Great film, in Craven's top three. Hard to say which is his best.
