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
The People Under the Stairs was way better than Vampire In Brooklyn. Vampire In Brooklyn couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a horror movie or comedy film it was stuck between 2 genre’s. The People Under The Stairs was straight up horror with political commentary mixed in.
"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.
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?
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
@@QuestNation3221 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
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.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare 6. Scre4m 5. Red Eye 4. Scream 2 3. Serpent and the Rainbow 2 of some of the most iconic horror films ever 2. Scream 1996 1. Nightmare on Elm Street 1984
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!
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!
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!
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 😭
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.
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 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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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 ranking of all his films from my favorite to my least favorite Is 1. A Nightmare On Elm Street ( Amazing film ) 2. Scream ( Amazing film ) 3. The People Under The Stairs ( Amazing film ) 4.

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 '
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!
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.
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.
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😂
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.
I know it is not horror but i have always thought Red Eye was such an underrated Craven gem. He definitely will be missed. Not everything he made was great but he always had a unique and interesting vision.
Dude c’mon, 3 of the top 4 are scream movies? Laughable man. New nightmare is better than any Scream movie minus the original. Vampire in Brooklyn over last house and the hills have eyes? VB is probably more like 15 than 9. I also disagree with people under the stairs is a fun flick and a lot of people like it, I think you undersell it.
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 ?
My Ranking: 1. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) 10/10 2. Scream (1996) 10/10 3. Scream 2 (1997) 10/10 4. The People Under the Stairs (1991) 10/10 5. Shocker (1989) 10/10 6. Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) 10/10 7. Scream 4 (2011) 10/10 8. The Hills Have Eyes (1977) 10/10 9. Red Eye (2005) 10/10 10. The Last House on the Left (1972) 10/10 11. Scream 3 (2000) 8/10 12. The Serpent & the Rainbow (1988) 8/10 13. Deadly Blessing (1981) 8/10 14. Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) 8/10 15. Music of the Heart (1999) 8/10 16. Cursed (2005) 5/10 17. Swamp Thing (1982) 5/10 18. My Soul to Take (2010) 1/10 19. The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985) 1/10 20. Deadly Friend (1986) 1/10
I agree with No.20. Deadly Friend is a Dinocroc and Frankenstein Unbound knockoff, BB in the film is a Mechagodzilla knockoff, and never gave Godzilla an appearence.
Do John Carpenter next!!
Yes Agreed 💯
100%
Cant wait for him to rank Vampires honestly one of my favorite vampire movies
Yeah, affirmative, FUCKIN' correct.
Holygani
Surely more deserving to be called THE master of horror, than WC is.
You have one of the best horror channels out there. Simple and straight to the point
Thank you.
@@CodyLeachYT Could you review John Carpenter’s movies and rank them? After that can you review Steven Spielberg’s movies and rank them?

You know Cody loves a movie when he laughs the second he brings up the movie- case in point, Deadly Friend!
Same situation. As bad as this movie is i laugh my ass every time I rewatch it
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.

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
The People Under the Stairs was way better than Vampire In Brooklyn. Vampire In Brooklyn couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a horror movie or comedy film it was stuck between 2 genre’s. The People Under The Stairs was straight up horror with political commentary mixed in.
Scream will always be his best imo. Nightmare 1 and new nightmare are great! I also find shocker severely underrated and very fun.
"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.
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?
I loved wishmaster well the first two I watched like 30 mins of the third and I couldn’t even finish it cause it was awful.
Wishmaster 1, Dracula 2000, and Feast 1 are my favorite Wes Craven produced films. All fun gems that are insane but fun to watch.
@@aydenvavra2153 I also like wishmaster 2 as well. One of the TV movies Wes made that I kinda like is called CHILLER. Ever heard of it
@@murphythecat3652 I heard of it never watched it.
@@aydenvavra2153 Feast was awesome
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
People under the stairs is underrated very good movie
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
It was good but looking at the storyline it had no purpose nor the 2nd or 4th intro

Scream 4 and nightmare on elm street
Awesome ranking on such a legendary filmmaker
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 '
Next director I want to see is F Gary Gray
Great video Cody 👍👍👍👍👍
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!
"I thank God Wes Craven lived long enough to give us Scream 4" what a fuckin SAVAGEEEEE LMFAO! PSYCHO
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.
Please do more of these
1:52 The amount of flashbacks were ridiculous.
Even their dog had a flashback!
On most of these, especially number one, I 100% agree with you! Freddy fanatic for life!
Wes made some real turds. He also made some classics. Quite the polarizing career.
Carpenter needs to be done at some point but Steven Spielberg needs to be the one done right now!!
Awww dude I LOVE SHOCKER
I'm assuming number 1 is nightmare on elm street.
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.
"i like the actor...i know him form Supernatural" - angry X-Files fans' noises intensifies
Skinner kicks ass
Nothing like a Cody Leach video to perk up my Sunday
A nightmare on elm street is the goat of horror films. It’s so good. The musical score is 10/10 too so eerie
I know I’m 2 years late but man I love Scream 4 better than Scream 3 and Scream 2
Great content. Keep ‘em coming.
Shocker is one that starts out really neat and becomes a cartoon halfway through lol. Like this ranking keep it up Cody
I thought you liked scream 4 more than 2? Either way I really enjoy both films
They're pretty close. I recently ranked them with Scream 5 and I enjoyed 2 a bit more than 4.
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😂
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.
I would love to see you rank all of rob zombies movies my favorite horror director
I'd like to hear your take on David Fincher rankings.
I know it is not horror but i have always thought Red Eye was such an underrated Craven gem. He definitely will be missed. Not everything he made was great but he always had a unique and interesting vision.
Final destination review series when?
Great review, Cody Wes was always my favorite horror movie director
After Scream I did not like any of his movies
I loved deadly friend especially the basketball scene 😂
Great list! I particularly love the high(ish) ranking for Deadly Friend. Can you rank Frank Henenlotter films?
Cody I would love to see you do Alfred Hitchcock at some point
Dude c’mon, 3 of the top 4 are scream movies? Laughable man. New nightmare is better than any Scream movie minus the original. Vampire in Brooklyn over last house and the hills have eyes? VB is probably more like 15 than 9. I also disagree with people under the stairs is a fun flick and a lot of people like it, I think you undersell it.
So are you watching my list...or yours?
8:45. Very surprised ya haven't reviewed that movie yet, Cody. Dying for it.😂
No summer of fear?
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 ?
My Soul to Take was so awful
For me the biggest takeaway was your favorite Ghostface is in Scream 4... WTH LOL
Been a great set of reviews man , loved it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great list. Only difference I really have is I like shocker and ppl under the stairs a bit more.
Uh oh Cody watch supernatural🤘🏽 love that show love this channel.
Ngl i only watched this video to see the TV movie ones lol
Hot take** I actually enjoyed my soul to take…
Some of these movies make scream 3 look great
John Carpenter is clearly the best option for next director ranking but I'm going to suggest William Friedkin as another good choice
My favorite wes craven flims are nightmare on elm street new nightmare people under the stairs scream
Love this Video because Wes is my Hero.
John Carpenter ranking would be awesome 👌
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
Great video Cody!! Always appreciate your views and opinions!!! Always well thought out and explained!!
My Ranking:
1. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) 10/10
2. Scream (1996) 10/10
3. Scream 2 (1997) 10/10
4. The People Under the Stairs (1991) 10/10
5. Shocker (1989) 10/10
6. Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) 10/10
7. Scream 4 (2011) 10/10
8. The Hills Have Eyes (1977) 10/10
9. Red Eye (2005) 10/10
10.
The Last House on the Left (1972) 10/10
11. Scream 3 (2000) 8/10
12. The Serpent & the Rainbow (1988) 8/10
13. Deadly Blessing (1981) 8/10
14. Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) 8/10
15. Music of the Heart (1999) 8/10
16. Cursed (2005) 5/10
17. Swamp Thing (1982) 5/10
18. My Soul to Take (2010) 1/10
19. The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985) 1/10
20. Deadly Friend (1986) 1/10
I agree with No.20. Deadly Friend is a Dinocroc and Frankenstein Unbound knockoff, BB in the film is a Mechagodzilla knockoff, and never gave Godzilla an appearence.
Awfully generous with the 10s there
I should have listened…(I just watched My Soul to Take for context)
God help you
@@CodyLeachYT thanks, I needed that.
