In my opinion it's Wes Cravens New Nightmare" which i found to be a pile of rubbish, especially with that ugly annoying kid who played Heathers son!!! I HATE that movie!!!! Deadly Friend is cool tho, good 80's fun! :o)
CURSED - Last House on the left was his 1st movie and almost 40 years old now so I can cut him a little leeway but to make Cursed with all the knowledge you should have gained by now is ridiculous.
k here we go: scream was awesome. he directed extremely well. red eye rocked! new nightmare had the new glove last house on the left had the 'good' ending and deadly friend was awesome (high 80s)
his worst is: music of the heart! ahhh i hate musicals!!!
Yep shocker is definitely one of Cravens crappers. Add to his ever growing list: Last House On The Left, Curse, The Hills Have Eyes, The Serpent & The Rainbow & Redeye.
I haven't seen most of those movies you listed so I really couldn't say I heard they were bad. The Serpant and the Rainbow however was a great movie and definitely shouldn't be considered one of his worst.
yeah, id go with Shocker too. I remember renting this stinker in the 80's and couldnt believe it was so bad. Always remember the scenes on the football pitch where you can see the shadows of the boom mic operators and camera man on the ground. very sad.
I thoroughly enjoyed Scream for one reason - it didn't try to take itself seriously. Wes Craven was making fun of the genre that made him famous. What's wrong with that?

I had the pleasure of seeing both this stink bomb AND "Shocker" in the theaters during their original runs. I'm actually convinced that Wes Craven has never made a good movie.
I found Chiller on dvd w/ Poe's Tell Tale Heart for only a $1. Yeah it's that bad. LOL Whoever said People Under the Stairs...nooooo. I liked that movie. LOL It was sh**ty and funny at the same time. If a movie's gonna be bad then it better have something to laugh about to save it.
Scream without a doubt since it was stupid as hell, and then as many have said, since it was popular with the masses we got I know last summer and all the others trying to have the same formula. If as I am reading, Wes was forced to modify his movies by a pinhead in a suit then I can forgive him, but yeesh most of his work seems like amateur crap. Like no-one watched a scene and said, huh, this is not scary and is in fact stupid as all get out. Just watched Shocker for the first time in decades and it is really disapointing. I own the soundtrack and listen to most of the songs regularly, and I remembered the movie not being rediculous and lame. Nightmare 1 was good, but I feel like this guy is not a real director, but he is praised like crazy.
