10 Best Larry Cohen Horror Movies

"As much as we think of Larry Cohen as the director of some of the wildest Blaxploitation and Horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, he was really a much more accomplished screenwriter, with over eighty credits to his name by his death in 2019.

Cohen was the master at visually capturing the grimy reality of pre-Disneyfied New York City – with deliberate surreptitiousness in getting some of his shots – but it's the satirical voice he layered into each of his films that make them so much more engaging than all of the gimmicks baked within. Even in movies featuring giant Aztec gods, killer mutant babies, and globs of primordial yogurt set to take over the world, he's needling into socio-political themes that offers the perfect counterweight to his film's overt ridiculousness."
