Horror and social satire, zeitgeist and gor e: The analog-projected genre film series Pleasure Dome dedicates its next double feature to New York genre maverick Larry Cohen (1936–2019).

A genre auteur who moved effortlessly between the aesthetics of mainstrea m U.S. cinema and rougher exploitation films and helped reshape U.S. cinem a from within in the 1970s: with guerrilla methods, clever screenplays, an d a knack for paranoia and delirious comedy.

We start with Cohen’s great classic IT’S ALIVE (1974): That mean’s: in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Everything seems normal. Frank and Lenore Davis are expecting th eir second child. But what emerges from the delivery room is no ordinary i nfant. It is a monster. Claws. Fangs. Menacing primal instincts. The polic e take up the hunt for the anomaly, while the father wages a very differen t battle within himself: Does he love his child — despite everything?
< br>We continue with lesser-known GOD TOLD ME TO (1976): Cohen’s hometown N ew York is in the grip of violence that seems completely random and sensel ess. A sniper is firing from a rooftop. A man goes on a rampage in a super market. Every act is carried out calmly — and is always justified in the s ame way: GOD TOLD ME TO. NYPD Detective Peter Nicholas, a devout Catholic, begins to investigate. On the path to “enlightenment,” the genre boundari es between police procedural, science fiction, and paranoia thriller blur. Who can stop God?
