Yep Hills for me too.It's raw and brutal,doesn't go too far like LHOTL and that fear of unknown wide open spaces and primitive landscapes makes it a winner.
Ol' Freddy boy shouldn't be knocked for the ridiculous sequels imho,the original was a classic.(With the exception of that ludicrous tacked-on ending.)

oh, never really liked Hills have eyes for some reason that i still can't figure out (maybe I'll give it another try!). I also have a big soft spot for Shocker, its a lot of fun. Likewise Nightmare on Elm street, and i do like the silly ending! and I like all the sequels (some of them more than the original). But Last House takes it for me, love it's rawness and David Hess - well, nuff said!

One of his worst,I found was SUMMER OF FEAR,a rather bollocks TV movie.
Deadly friend,whilst no classic was rather fun.

Deadly Blessing was not bad.

Scream as we all know,brought the slasher boom back.

Shocker was IMHO too much of a Freddy Krueger imitation.....

The People Under The Stairs was nuts!

The Serpent and The Rainbow was another I could never really get into....

It's astonishingly silly but my guilty pleasure of Craven's is Swamp Thing.

Hills 2 must be the only film to feature a dog with a flashback.

I went with New Nightmare, I loved how he brought realism to the horror genre in a way that I hadn't seen prior to that film. Also, Freddy looked BAD ASS in this one; it does get a little silly towards the climax, how does she stab him in the eye with a eel? - but it's forgivable!

It's just a blast watching Rob Englund being Rob Englund, Wes being Wes and even Bob Shaye pretending to be Bob Shaye! Winner.

It was a winner Phill.
Very original twist to the franchise indeed,and after all those stand-up comedian sequels,was a refreshing change.

Yeah, the Freddy franchise; for me, goes a little somethin' like this:

Nightmare on Elm Street
Nightmare on Elm Street 3
New Nightmare

That's it!
