Wes Craven's Phenomenal Comeback

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2015)

A group of teens are pitted against a masked murderer that tests their knowledge of horror movies.
Can we admit that Neve Campbell is a terrible actress? She managed to get in all four "Scream" films, and "The Craft", and "Wild Things" and "Party of Five". She was a dominant force of the 1990s. But really, just admit it, she was the Kristen Stewart of the 1990s -- very wooden, not much range, and considered more appealing by studio executives than by actual viewers.
But that criticism aside, this is a great film, and definitely among Wes Craven's best. He has had his great films and his less-than-great films. Some, frankly, we might want to forget. But this was so powerful, really added some wit to the slasher film, and for that we must respect the man. Wes Craven is the all-time greatest horror director.
