None of his latter films are as good as The Bird With The Crystal Plumage or Suspiria - but then not every Hitchcock was a Shadow Of A Doubt or Vertigo either. Most of his supposedly bad films, seem perfectly entertaining and very well crafted bits of low budget entertainment. Some of them (The Stendhal Syndrome, Sleepless...) are even better than that, |
Like Hitchcock, even Dario's lesser films are quite watchable, and people will have their favourites amongst the so called lesser films. I adore
The Trouble with Harry for example and i too think
Mother of Tears is very good entertainment. On the other hand i really don't rate
Trauma at all.
Sometimes i think people moan about his more recent output because they think thats the thing to do.
Giallo and
Mother of Tears must have had pretty good sales from the amount of people who say they are terrible. I would watch either of them again before seeing the extremely dull
Cat O' Nine Tails. Thats just me though.
As for Wes Craven, he's just a hack in my opinion. Only seven out of his twenty nine films are any good. It could be eight but i haven't seen
My Soul to Take.
