Cult horror/sci-fi director Larry Cohen is the man responsible for some of the 70’s and 80’s greatest schlock films. To celebrate his career, the Quad in New York City will be hosting a two-day event where they will screen several of his films and even have him appear at a few select showings along with an appearance from Eric Bogosian!
On May 6th and 7th, the Quad will be showing The Ambulance, Black Caeser, Q, Perfect Strangers, Special Effects, The Stuff, and the Whisper Cut of God Told Me To.
From the official press release:
Legend has it God Told Me To was originally to be titled Whisper, with Bernard Herrmann set to compose the score. Cohen produced and screened an advance cut of the film (for one week only at a theater in Oregon) as a means of getting a tax credit. Herrmann passed away shortly following and the film was recut for its theatrical release. This original print, the Whisper cut, has never been seen in New York before.
More information about the event can be found at Quad’s website.
