God Told Me To (1976)
May 19, 2011Alien Messiah/Cult Killings/Alien Abduction & Impregnation
One of the key films in the cult of director Larry Cohen, this throws in a mind-bending mix involving an androgynous alien messiah, random shootings, alien abduction and Catholicism
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
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
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
The Stuff (1985)

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
Wicked Stepmother (1989)
