That is one of my favorite films from the eighties, as corny as it is. It is actually is one of the first ones I watched as a young child (7 or 8) back then. My father was a huge Craven fan, so this was my introduction to his catalog of films, leading me into A Nightmare on Elm Street a couple of years later. I definitely have a soft spot for this flick.
Follow up to my previous reply: this is a wonderful, schlocky film, and goofy as fuck. That being said, I can't help but think this could actually be a crazy reboot with a more serious tone. You gotta love it.
Love Wes Craven, legendary horror director. Here's my top 5 1. Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Scream 3. People Under The Stairs 4. Hills Have Eyes 5. Wes Cravens New Nightmare
Another positive for Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (at least for me) is the fact it’s the only movie in the franchise where Freddy‘a glove isn’t made of metal and he has 5 knives instead of his traditional 4. Love the channel, Cody!
"Balls out crazy" is the perfect way to describe the People Under the Stairs. I love it. The "children" were some of the scariest things ever when I was a kid and totally unexpected compared to the rest of the movie. It was so confusing to me as a child to laugh and be completely terrified at the same time.
I’m gonna be brutally honest, Wes Cravens New Nightmare is one of the most ambitious, amazing horror movies of its time. Period. New Nightmare and Nightmare are equals, and bookend one another impressively. Brilliant fucking movie
I’m with you. Think I saw it for the first time when I was like 10 and loved it since. New Nightmare is incredibly underrated, especially for what it is. Which is basically the patient zero for Scream.
@@skyofthelivingdead absolutely. It’s the ultimate slow burn of the Nightmare Films but also great that the demonic entity of Freddy just appears here and there until he is fully revealed at the end of the 2nd act. It’s impressive cause since watching it in 96(?) it’s still in my top 10 horror flicks
@@Quest4Horror this came out wayyyy before creepers. And the makeup is great on England. If you understand the movie it’s not even Krueger, it’s a demonic entity in the form of Krueger, and not the actor playing Krueger, if that makes sense lol
The best thing about Last House On The Left is that Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham made a film together. Imagine if they had reunited and did Freddy Vs. Jason together.
Oh how I miss Wes craven! Wes cravens new nightmare is of my all time favorite movies ever made. It was a legacy sequel before they were popular. Honestly Halloween H20 took a lot from new nightmare. Both of the movies revolve around the actress from the first film to protect their son and have one final battle with their arch nemesis. It’s so strange how not many people notice how similar these movies were.
My worst to best 20. My Soul To Take 19. Last House on the Left 18. Deadly Friend 17. Hills Have Eyes Part 2 16. Deadly Blessing 15. Vampire in Brooklyn 14. Cursed 13. Shocker 12. Scream 3 11. Swamp Thing 10. Music of the Heart 9. Scream 2 8. The Serpent and the Rainbow 7. Scream 4 6. Red Eye 5. Hills have Eyes 4. The People Under the Stairs 3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Scream 1. New Nightmare
Cody, thank you for all of this amazing content! I'm still working my way through your many videos and every single one is entertaining. You deliver your views in a thoughtful and funny manner. Your channel is one of the very best things on TH-cam!! Cheers, sir!!
Hey Cody! I would love to see you do a massive carpenter review series, but that’s an obvious one. Another one I would want you to maybe consider is a Martin Scorsese review series. Talk about movies from Taxi Driver, Raging Bull to Goodfellas and The Departed. That would be a cool one to see from you. I really like how you review movies. Peace Dude!
This has been one of your best review series in my opinion. Do you think that you will ever review his other movies he produced(like wishmaster), or his made for TV movies?
Awwwwww yeah this has been a long time coming man. Well done. Any plans for a next director to do this with? John Carpenter, George Romero, Dario Argento, Alfred Hitchcock, and Mario Bava would be good ones. I know Bava and Hitchcock are well before your time but they're awesome.
If he does Bava & Argento I guess there hardly would be any movie with a positive rating. If you don’t already know, Italian horror doesn’t do anything for Cody!
@@dertodesking8379 I adore me some Bava and especially Argento but I completely understand why those films aren’t loved by everybody. Even though as a huge fan of Argento Giallo and Dracula 3D are garbage with very little redeeming things about em.
@@aydenvavra2153 Yeah Sleepless was his last good movie imo. I also love Italian horror - Argento, Bava, Fulci, Martino, Soavi… But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, absolutely!
Wes Craven has a very inconsistent filmography, but when he hits, he REALLY hits! Doing John Carpenter would be interesting. It is generally agreed that, at the start of the 90s, Carpenter was taken by aliens, and left us with an imposter posing as John Carpenter!
Great ranking Cody! Only seen about half of them but was cool to hear about the ones I haven't checked out🙂 Since you've now done Craven and you've done Gunn, I think it would be sweet to see a Spielberg ranking. So any great films but which one wins?!😆
My personal ranking is: 20.Hills have eyes 2 (haven't seen) 19. Swamp thing (unwatchable) 18.Deadly blessings (forgetable) 17.cursed (release the craven cut) 16. Last house on the left 15.

Scream 2 (top 5 horror sequels) 3.People under the stairs (great) 2.Scream (90s masterpiece) 1.Nightmare on elm Street (80s masterpiece)
Honestly over time I feel The Serpent and the Rainbow has leaped past other Craven films for me. At the moment it's still my favourite of his by a margin. Not a fan of Scream 4 but if I'm being frank I kinda lost my love for the franchise after Scream 2; first two I enjoyed, I've typically got diminishing returns on anything after so I can leave the rest of the films and be perfectly content with the first two. And can't fault your #1, Krueger at his most menacing. Still my favourite ANOES film by an absolute landslide. Awesome ranking! 👌 *I know this is a long shot but I'd love to see you rank Hitchcock's filmography just because there's so many layers/areas to explore with what he did.
Completely agree about Scream 4. Besides from the original, the fourth instalment is my other favourite. Don't understand the hate, the casting especially was amazing 😭
Loved the video and this whole series! I would love to see you review all the Sam Raimi films (aside from the evil dead and spiderman trilogies, since you already did those) and then a ranking. I think it would be fitting too since doctor strange is about to come out, and it's the first Raimi film we've gotten in a while!
This is one of my favorite review videos of yours. I love the channel and content alot. My ranking of just the ones I've seen. 1. A nightmare on elm street. Favorite horror movie, villain and final girl ever. 2. Scream. 3. Scream 2 4. My soul to take. I understand why people dislike it but really enjoy it alot 5. The serpent and the rainbow 6. Scream 3 7. A new nightmare 8. Red eye 9. Deadly friend 10. People under the stairs 11. Scream 4 12. Shocker 13. The Hills have eyes 14. The last house on the left
I love Vampire in Brooklyn. It’s definitely on my top Craven’s films. You’re definitely not on the minority. It’s a fun classic. Eddie Murphy did pretty good. Angela Bassett is amazing. It’s good fun.
I actually came here to see where you would place The People Under the Stairs. Maybe it’s nostalgia for most of us who have fondness for this film. Part of it for me is feeling for those abused kids. If this movie wasn’t so entertaining and campy, it really would be very disturbing. It also had a lot of heart. Anyway, I really appreciated that you tried to give this movie many chances.

I would like to see you do a John Carpenter review series (I know "SHOCKING", really). With that said, confession time. I would switch 2 and 1 if this were my list. I have always wanted to like the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street". I understand the legacy and there's nothing I can do to take that away. With that said, I like a horror movie to end where the evil is either defeated and/or escapes, or where it's left ambiguous like in movies like The Shinning or The Thing. Having to watch Nancy go on this journey to where she defeats this all-powerful slasher in Freddy Kruger ONLY for the ending to pull the rug out from under me like that has always kept me at arm's length from truly enjoying it. Still a good Slasher, defiantly a good Wes Craven film, just wish I could share in that love.
Yeah I have seen part two when it came out. And the killer in shocker was also director skinner in the x files. The last house on the left was a true story. The serpent and the rainbow is also a true story.
1. Scream 2. Wes Cravens New Nightmare 3. Nightmare on Elm Street 4. Scream 2 5. The People Under The Stairs 6. The Hills Have Eyes 7. Scream 4 8. Scream 3 9. Deadly Blessing

Love your rankings and channel. I think it got better when you put more time in videos. Your Alien and Predator rankings for example are only 13 minutes, that needs a reboot😂
Serpent in the Rainbow sounds intriguing I will have to check it out and Scream 2 is my favorite Scream movies. This was a good ranking video of Wes Craven's films. Great job Cody!
Btw i agree with your thoughts on Last House On The Left. I watched it about 20 years ago, i thought it was good, but certainly not one i plan to ever re-watch.
As someone who is a big Scream fan, and as much as I will joke about Scream 3, you're totally right. If that's the worst the franchise has to offer, that's pretty good.
My favorites from him are The Hills Have Eyes, Wes Cravens New Nightmare and probably Scream 4. I really love a lot of them about the same but those are the ones that I have the most fun with recently.
Yup Nightmare is my number one as well. I can see why Wes didn't want a sequel. It works by itself. The Concept in it's original form is incredibly creepy and metaphorical.
My dream horror movie would be in the same vein of "New Nightmare" .... Have the final girls from Heather(Nightmare on Elm Street),Neve ( Scream), Wilcox (Nightmare 4 and 5),Ashley Laurence ( Hellraiser 1 and 2),Adrienne King Friday 1 and Amy Steel ( Friday 2) and guest spots from Thom Mathews ( Friday 6),John D. LeMay ( Jason Goes to Hell),Miko Hughes ( New Nightmare) and other guest spots... Where they are playing themselves and in the vein of New Nightmare , Demons have taken the form of the killers of the franchises... They are now stalking the actors trying to defeat them in real life more as a game for them but want to defeat them and want them to enter a world where they become the characters they play in the movies .... Heather would be the leader because she went through it before with the "Demon Freddy" from New Nightmare.... Have Kane,Bradley and Englund play the roles and have cameos of a Demon that looks like Tony Todd's Candyman heck even Warwick Davis ( Leprechaun) makes a cameo.. Somewhere in the storyline some the demons fight themselves.... The big kicker would be Ashley Lawrence (Hellraiser 1 and 2),Neve and Lisa Wilcox would be the ones who lives after the rest sacrificed themselves to help save the day... Just my way of thinkin '
Great ranking Cody, I can't disagree with any of your placings. For next director Carpenter would be great but how about a Hitchcock ranking maybe from the 50's on, or go for Kubrick! Either one would be given an interesting spin by you.
I don’t disagree with Cody on a lot of things but I definitely agree with him on People Under The Stairs. Watched it for the first time and absolutely loved it. The comedy was perfect. The tension was great. But great list. Put me into some awesome movies
I think scream is his masterpiece.nightmare on elm streets final act where Freddy is turn into a home alone villain falling into traps loses me every time.and the scene her mom gets pulled in through the door I hate.
The original Nightmare on elm street is always going to be my favorite of the series. Even though the first four are equally good, yeah I love Dream Master, sue me. But the first one to me is still the scariest Freddy has been because the way Craven shot him. You rarely see him, he's mostly hidden in shadows and he's more looming in presence whereas he becomes the star in the sequels. Its nearly a perfect movie, aside from the last two minutes..still a four and half star from me. As for Directors catalogue's, I'd say take a chance on a classic horror director: William Castle.
well he's only directed 7 feature films and every one of them is great.. so he is 7 for 7 in my opinion in feature filmmaking... with Avatar 2 up next..
Scream 4 was my favorite of the Scream sequels. Loved the just balls to the wall manic opening. It was the perfect way to self-satirize while still being thrilling. The first of the Scream movies where the killer was a complete surprise. And some really good scenes in between. Scream 2 needed to get off that campus. It felt too much like H20 for me. Think I preferred 3 to 2 actually, except I did enjoy Jada getting gutted.
Hey Cody, random question for this video but do you have any opinions on the Terrifier series? 3rd one is suppose to drop this year I’d love a review on the first 2 from you
Top 10 1- Nightmare on elm Street 10/10 2- Scream 10/10 3- Wes Craven new nightmare 10/10 4- Scream 2 9.2/10 5- Scream 4 9/10 6- Scream 3 9/10 7- The people under the stairs 9/10 8- Red Eye 8.6/10 9- Serpent of the rainbow 8.6/10 10- Last house on the left 8.6/10
I would love to see you and the autopstream gang gang do a ranking of Craven and Carpenter films in a joint ranking. Maybe even agree on 31 to rank for a 31 on 31. What ranking could be better than that ?
Last House on the Left (1972) and Deadly Friend (1986) are Masterpieces. If there was that famous lonely Island these 2 Movies belonged there. They tell and touch so much. His last acceptable Film is Shocker. And as the times declined equivalently the Movies startet to do the same beginning in the 90s in what they told and showed.
I love this. Yes, I already knew that your top #1 was Nightmare on elm street. That is my ultimate favorite. Reason why I subscribed to you eons ago. and still the many reason why I respect and appreciate your channel. Thank you for your honest feedback.
You have one of the best horror channels out there. Simple and straight to the point
Thank you.

2. Scream
3. People Under The Stairs
4. Hills Have Eyes
5. Wes Cravens New Nightmare
1:52 The amount of flashbacks were ridiculous.
Even their dog had a flashback!
Scream will always be his best imo. Nightmare 1 and new nightmare are great! I also find shocker severely underrated and very fun.
People under the stairs is underrated very good movie
Another positive for Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (at least for me) is the fact it’s the only movie in the franchise where Freddy‘a glove isn’t made of metal and he has 5 knives instead of his traditional 4. Love the channel, Cody!
Obviously would love to see you do Carpenter but I would also like to see Guillermo Del Toro, Tobe Hooper, Sam Raimi, Dario Argento, and James Cameron
"I thank God Wes Craven lived long enough to give us Scream 4" what a fuckin SAVAGEEEEE LMFAO! PSYCHO
I absolutely love the 1st Freddy film, but the 1st Scream is my FAVORITE, & that opening scene was AMAZING! 💫🔥💯
Scream is the best for sure

I actually came here to see where you would place The People Under the Stairs. Maybe it’s nostalgia for most of us who have fondness for this film. Part of it for me is feeling for those abused kids. If this movie wasn’t so entertaining and campy, it really would be very disturbing. It also had a lot of heart. Anyway, I really appreciated that you tried to give this movie many chances.
I would love to see another series like this exploring a foreign director such as Lucio Fulci or Dario Argento
His next will be John carpenter
Yeah I'd definitely love to see him do Argento solely for phenomena lol but him ranking Argento and Fulci movies is a great idea

1: A Nightmare On Elm Street
I would like to see you do a John Carpenter review series (I know "SHOCKING", really).
With that said, confession time. I would switch 2 and 1 if this were my list. I have always wanted to like the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street". I understand the legacy and there's nothing I can do to take that away.
With that said, I like a horror movie to end where the evil is either defeated and/or escapes, or where it's left ambiguous like in movies like The Shinning or The Thing. Having to watch Nancy go on this journey to where she defeats this all-powerful slasher in Freddy Kruger ONLY for the ending to pull the rug out from under me like that has always kept me at arm's length from truly enjoying it. Still a good Slasher, defiantly a good Wes Craven film, just wish I could share in that love.
Great list! I particularly love the high(ish) ranking for Deadly Friend. Can you rank Frank Henenlotter films?
Yeah I have seen part two when it came out. And the killer in shocker was also director skinner in the x files. The last house on the left was a true story. The serpent and the rainbow is also a true story.

Great review as always my boi Cody easily one of my top horror movie channels
Love your rankings and channel. I think it got better when you put more time in videos. Your Alien and Predator rankings for example are only 13 minutes, that needs a reboot😂
On most of these, especially number one, I 100% agree with you! Freddy fanatic for life!
Serpent in the Rainbow sounds intriguing I will have to check it out and Scream 2 is my favorite Scream movies. This was a good ranking video of Wes Craven's films. Great job Cody!
Great review, Cody Wes was always my favorite horror movie director
Great vid. My top 8 are:
8 Last House On The Left
7 Scream 3
6 New Nightmare
5 Red Eye
4 Scream 4
3 Scream 2
2 A Nightmare On Elm Street
1 Scream
Btw i agree with your thoughts on Last House On The Left. I watched it about 20 years ago, i thought it was good, but certainly not one i plan to ever re-watch.
Great ranking Cody! Would love to see your John Carpenter ranking if you haven’t already
Great video Cody!! Always appreciate your views and opinions!!! Always well thought out and explained!!
I loved deadly friend especially the basketball scene 😂
Love the ranking/lists vids man! Do David Lynch films next! I’m surprised I haven’t seen any reviews of his classics on here
Bro. The ending of DEADLY BLESSING deserves more respect and it IS MEMORIABLE
One good thing about 2020 when new movie releases came to a bit of a standstill was i got to see Elm Street 1984 on the big screen
My Top 3:
1. Scream 1996
2. Scream 2 1997
3. The Serpent & The Rainbow
As someone who is a big Scream fan, and as much as I will joke about Scream 3, you're totally right. If that's the worst the franchise has to offer, that's pretty good.
My favorites from him are The Hills Have Eyes, Wes Cravens New Nightmare and probably Scream 4. I really love a lot of them about the same but those are the ones that I have the most fun with recently.
I didn't even realize that some of the movies on this list were Wes Ceaven. I was so young when I saw them (Swamp thing and Shocker). Love this list.
My Wes Craven Top 5 Films:
1. A Nightmare On Elm Street
2. Scream
3. The Hills Have Eyes
4. Scream 2
5. Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Yup Nightmare is my number one as well. I can see why Wes didn't want a sequel. It works by itself. The Concept in it's original form is incredibly creepy and metaphorical.
Great list. Only difference I really have is I like shocker and ppl under the stairs a bit more.
I was hoping to see Scream 3 at least at Top 10 :( I think it's way better than people give credit to it. But nonetheless, great video
My dream horror movie would be in the same vein of "New Nightmare" .... Have the final girls from Heather(Nightmare on Elm Street),Neve ( Scream), Wilcox (Nightmare 4 and 5),Ashley Laurence ( Hellraiser 1 and 2),Adrienne King Friday 1 and Amy Steel ( Friday 2) and guest spots from Thom Mathews ( Friday 6),John D. LeMay ( Jason Goes to Hell),Miko Hughes ( New Nightmare) and other guest spots... Where they are playing themselves and in the vein of New Nightmare , Demons have taken the form of the killers of the franchises... They are now stalking the actors trying to defeat them in real life more as a game for them but want to defeat them and want them to enter a world where they become the characters they play in the movies .... Heather would be the leader because she went through it before with the "Demon Freddy" from New Nightmare.... Have Kane,Bradley and Englund play the roles and have cameos of a Demon that looks like Tony Todd's Candyman heck even Warwick Davis ( Leprechaun) makes a cameo.. Somewhere in the storyline some the demons fight themselves.... The big kicker would be Ashley Lawrence (Hellraiser 1 and 2),Neve and Lisa Wilcox would be the ones who lives after the rest sacrificed themselves to help save the day... Just my way of thinkin '
Great ranking Cody, I can't disagree with any of your placings. For next director Carpenter would be great but how about a Hitchcock ranking maybe from the 50's on, or go for Kubrick! Either one would be given an interesting spin by you.
Great list, Cody! I would love to see you rank Edgar Wright’s films, that would be interesting
I don’t disagree with Cody on a lot of things but I definitely agree with him on People Under The Stairs. Watched it for the first time and absolutely loved it. The comedy was perfect. The tension was great. But great list. Put me into some awesome movies
I love the serpent in the rainbow. I like Bill Pullman and I love how they bring back the zombie from before they were flesh eaters.
I think scream is his masterpiece.nightmare on elm streets final act where Freddy is turn into a home alone villain falling into traps loses me every time.and the scene her mom gets pulled in through the door I hate.
The original Nightmare on elm street is always going to be my favorite of the series. Even though the first four are equally good, yeah I love Dream Master, sue me. But the first one to me is still the scariest Freddy has been because the way Craven shot him. You rarely see him, he's mostly hidden in shadows and he's more looming in presence whereas he becomes the star in the sequels. Its nearly a perfect movie, aside from the last two minutes..still a four and half star from me.
As for Directors catalogue's, I'd say take a chance on a classic horror director: William Castle.
This video was a nice little surprise for my afternoon 🥰
Director movie list I want is James Cameron
well he's only directed 7 feature films and every one of them is
great.. so he is 7 for 7 in my opinion in feature filmmaking...
with Avatar 2 up next..
Perfect list thanks Cody!!!!
Scream 4 was my favorite of the Scream sequels. Loved the just balls to the wall manic opening. It was the perfect way to self-satirize while still being thrilling. The first of the Scream movies where the killer was a complete surprise. And some really good scenes in between. Scream 2 needed to get off that campus. It felt too much like H20 for me. Think I preferred 3 to 2 actually, except I did enjoy Jada getting gutted.
When I don’t know what to watch. I just watch Cody’s reviews.
Hey Cody, random question for this video but do you have any opinions on the Terrifier series? 3rd one is suppose to drop this year I’d love a review on the first 2 from you
Love your rankings. Shocker was one of my childhood movies so it's higher on my list. It's very wacky.

I would love to see you and the autopstream gang gang do a ranking of Craven and Carpenter films in a joint ranking. Maybe even agree on 31 to rank for a 31 on 31. What ranking could be better than that ?
I too love Scream 2 and ANOE! A review on John Carpenter's movies would be awesome!
Last House on the Left (1972) and Deadly Friend (1986) are Masterpieces. If there was that famous lonely Island these 2 Movies belonged there. They tell and touch so much. His last acceptable Film is Shocker. And as the times declined equivalently the Movies startet to do the same beginning in the 90s in what they told and showed.
Wow, I loved the Serpent and the Rainbow when I was a kid, but never realized it was a Wes Craven film.
I love this. Yes, I already knew that your top #1 was Nightmare on elm street. That is my ultimate favorite. Reason why I subscribed to you eons ago. and still the many reason why I respect and appreciate your channel. Thank you for your honest feedback.
