    Wes Craven is a giant in the world of horror movies and he knows how to check all the boxes to make a good movie. He can go with straight slasher movies like A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Last House on the Left or twist the genre a little with Scream and add some dark humor to it, easily one of my favorite genres right now. Though the acting is a little stiff, A Nightmare on Elm Street firmly plants its flag along side Halloween and Friday the 13th as horror franchises go.

    As the movie went on I kept thinking about how Wes Craven might do if given a genuinely well-written horror script to adapt to a movie. His attention to even the smallest detail would seem to make him a great director for just about any kind of movie though.
