About

As a filmmaker, Larry Cohen was a true master…'—Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com

A giant of low-budget genre and exploitation films, Larry Cohen blazed a trail as a writer and director that speaks for itself. Never one to be pigeonholed, Cohen's classification-defying oeuvre explored a range of styles with strongly written characters and a healthy dose of social commentary, creating memorable and entertaining films whose impact far outreached their expense.

Scream Factory is proud to present this three-film collection celebrating the talents of Cohen, showcasing the range and skill of a legend. The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover presents a fictionalized account of the man who ruled the FBI for decades under no fewer than eight different presidents. Special Effects offers a diabolical thriller about art imitating life when a film director casts an actress in a film about a murder…that he himself committed. And the acclaimed Bette Davis essays her final film role in Wicked Stepmother, a comedic fantasy of witchcraft and wackiness.
