It's Alive (1974)

I’m glad they kept a visual account of my early days. I’m not proud of it, and I take full responsibility for my rambunctious - some say murderous - infancy. Of course Hollywood vastly exaggerated the facts. Give ya an example. Those doctors in the delivery room weren’t all…

Spooktober II: To Hell With the 80s Unless you have seen the trailer for the film or someone has told you about it, it is impossible to know what this film is about. It all appears to indicate that it's a creature film, and to a certain extent, it is, but it's also not. In…

A pretty goofy premise but something about Larry Cohen that imbues his films with nice story structures that capture all the angles of thought provoking questions to let you ruminate with it. Sure it doesn't have the greatest of looks and you can tell he is a run and gun…
