Larco Productions
It Lives Again (1978)
May 21, 2001Killer Mutant Babies
This was the first of Larry Cohen's sequels to his killer mutant baby film It's Alive. Here Cohen uses the occasion to expand the themes in richer depth and makes a work that stands up as well as the original
Q – The Winged Serpent (1982)
Aug 14, 2000Monster Movie
Larry Cohen is a cult director and this, which concerns a Quetzalcoatl bird amok in New York City, is the best of his films, peppered with side-splitting dialogue and Michael Moriarty giving the performance of a lifetime
Full Moon High (1982)
May 21, 2001Werewolf Comedy
Werewolf films were all the thing around 1980-1 with hits like The Howling and An American Werewolf in London. This is cult director Larry Cohen's often extremely silly but not entirely unamusing comedy take
The Stuff (1985)
Aug 31, 2000Possession by Sentient Fast Food
One of the films of cult director Larry Cohen in which he makes a body snatchers film involving sentient fast food. As to be expected from Cohen, this also becomes a sharp and witty satire
A Return to Salem’s Lot (1987)
Sep 3, 2005Town of Vampires
Cult director Larry Cohen makes a sequel to the Stephen King mini-series but throws most connection out to make his own wry, occasionally amusing vampire film
It’s Alive III: Island of the Alive (1987)
Feb 22, 2005Killer Mutant Babies
The third of Larry Cohen's killer mutant baby films that began with the cult It's Alive. Cohen's humour is again present but the film feels like a hodgepodge of ideas left over from the other films
Wicked Stepmother (1989)
Aug 31, 2001Witch Moves In Comedy
The worst film from the usually great Larry Cohen, an unfunny comedy in which a household is taken over by a witch. Bette Davis quit soon into shooting and is replaced partway through by Barbara Carrera
