Robert Cohen

Robert Cohen, a master of horror and exploitation cinema, was born in 1940 in Kingston, New York, USA. He started his directing career in the late 1970s, predominantly in the genres of horror and thriller, and is best known for his films "It's Alive" and "God Told Me To," although major film festival awards have eluded him thus far. Cohen's authorial style is marked by a unique blend of social commentary wrapped in genre trappings, often exploring themes of fear and societal unrest.

Despite his absence from the award circuits, Cohen's undeniable impact on the world of cinema, particularly in his knack for illuminating the dark corners of society through his films, instills a sense of respect and admiration in every true lover of the genre.
