WES CRAVEN FILMS

Continuing our special Wes Craven Week on IHdb we present the TOP 25 WES CRAVEN FILMS.

We've looked back over the legendary director's career, spanning over 40 years, and ranked all of his films based on the review aggregate scores from Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic. We've also included Craven's perhaps lesser known television episodes and made for TV movies in our list - but we have omitted Craven's movies from his brief foray outside of the horror genre, Music of the Heart (1999) and his segment for Paris, je t'aime (2006) - Craven directed the 20th segment, Père-Lachaise, which follows a couple as they break into the famous Parisian cemetery. (but if your curious, they each had a score of 64% and 87% respectively). We chose to omit them because, let's face it, IHdb is all about the horror!

Enjoy!!!
