Why is no one watching these!!!! They're amazing

[@brunoe1891]

I keep watching Larry's movies year after year and they continue being so unique and vibrant!

[@irish66]

One of my favourite directors.

Cohen is great in this interview. He does such a succinct summary of his work that I want to go back and watch his films again, looking for things I missed, especially It's Alive with that Bernard Herrmann score.

[@MickGarrisInterviews]

He's still the best storyteller you can imagine.

the man that should be more famous than he is. Is his name a household name?

[@vaughnmild4467]

Larry's stuff gets lots of spins in my machine. The It's Alive Trilogy, God Told Me To, Q-The Winged Serpent, The Stuff, Bone, ect. The only "genre" film I didn't care for that Larry Cohen did was Return to Salems Lot. RIP

@@vaughnmild4467 Would you recommend anything from him outside of his work in the horror genre?

[@spiroskoufos5412]

GREAT!

So many people - "Movies today are too political! Keep yer politics outta movies!"
Hate to break it to ya folks... it's always been political, and especially so within genre film.
