i never knew how great Larry Cohen was. after this i deep dived into his catalog.
Probably doesn’t belong on shudder because a lot of his stuff wasn’t horror. But a great documentary looking at a true original. An awesome look at independent film making at its most creative and daring.
RIP to one of the greats. Great documentary.
