Wes Craven

Wes Craven's Invitation to Hell
$9.98
Saw this movie years ago, and never heard any more about it. Upon looking for old scary movies for halloween, This movie came to mind. Noone had heard of it. I went to Amazon and not even knowing the name of movie, I found it and purchased with no problem. I was so excited to see it again, and it was in great condition.

Wes Craven Presents They
$9.99
Apparently being afraid of the dark means not being able to actually SEE anything in the dark, according to the writers of this film.

"They" is a terrible movie. The acting is decent enough, the emotions from the characters whenever something bizarre or sad happens is believable (most of the time) but the biggest problem with this film is that it was completely boring. Not interesting for a single second until the final 5 minutes.

Yes that's right- over an hour and 20 goes by and THEN something interesting happens. The ending is pretty good, but the story throughout the movie should have focused on what eventually happened to the woman instead of waiting until the VERY end to show it. How much longer were we expected to wait until something interesting happens? The writers should have focused on what ended up happening to the young woman for the other characters in the movie.

The signs that something horrible was about to happen to certain people by a blood mark appearing somewhere on their body was more along the lines of bad and lazy writing instead of interesting "what's going to happen next?" story-telling. Whenever something bad was about to happen to the characters (such as the woman who was swimming in the dark) the actual suspense honestly wasn't there at ALL almost the entire time. The only good part (besides the ending) was the guy in the restaurant who had a gun in the beginning of the movie (I won't spoil what happened here).

Plus the entire movie was completely dark (like I mention above in the opening line). So dark you couldn't see the monsters, and couldn't even see the film. Dark for the sake of darkness. Bad movie.

The Serpent And The Rainbow
$14.98
The serpent and the rainbow, maybe the best cult horror movie for me, except the end, when special effects saturate the story, but it is based in a true story, very good script, acting, direction, and feelings... if you want the best response on you, have to watch it in the darknes with home theather, you will feel the same as the caracters... breath, breath...

Wes Craven Collection

For those fright film devotees who must be continually scared, there's The Wes Craven Horror Collection. The box set contains The People Under the Stairs (1991), in which you will go inside the most terrifying house on the street and visit the homicidal inhabitants and their gruesome secrets that live and die deep within the house; Shocker, the 1989 touching tale of a serial killer who survives the electric chair . . . well, we cannot go any further and spoil the scares. The set also contains The Serpent (1988), in which a man is put under in a deep trance by a voodoo magician; he's alive but unable to speak or move, and spends much of the movie watching his own burial and funeral. You've been warned.
