Wes Craven
By:John Kenneth Muir
Published on 2004-01-01 by McFarland
Filmmaker Wes Craven has consistently and imaginatively scared movie audiences since the early 1970s. His films encompass a variety of styles, elements and themes, from the nihilistic existentialism of The Last House on the Left to the successful A Nightmare on Elm Street (which sent horror in a bold new direction), to the hallucinatory dreamscapes of The Serpent and the Rainbow. And in the nineties, Craven returned with the Scream films, which were simultaneously funny, clever and scary films that overturned the horror cliches of the eighties. The present work provides a history of Craven's film career since 1972, examining all the themes and techniques the filmmaker explored. For each film, a synopsis, cast and credits, historical context, and critical commentary are provided. Also covered in detail are Craven's forays into television, including movies such as Stranger in the House and work on such series as The New Twilight Zone.

Colm Tóibíand, typically the award-winning article author of All the Expertand Brooklyn, becomes this recognition at the complex family relationships somewhere between daddies along with sons—directly that stress involving the fictional leaders Oscar Wilde, Louis Joyce, W.B. Yeats, along with their particular fathers. Wilde loathed your boyfriend's your dad, whilst recognised them to be completely alike. Joyce's gregarious father drove chisel his child , with Ireland in europe as a result of his particular volatile poise and also drinking. Whereas Yeats's papa, the puma, was initially apparently a beautiful conversationalist as their cackle was basically many more dressed compared to a art this individual produced. These types of popular males and therefore the dads who seem to given a hand to pattern all of them appear alive around Tóibín's retelling, as do Dublin's vibrant inhabitants.
