The Man Who Loved Hitchcock is a comedic, murder-mystery about a man who steals the private murder scene notes of Alfred Hitchcock to inspire a killing spree. Teaming with a young renegade filmmaker, an aspiring actress, and his ex-friend & collaborator (Psycho composer Bernard Herrmann,) Hitch must stop the murderer before he kills them all!
About the screenwriter:
Larry Cohen began his career 50 years ago in television, eventually breaking into the independent film scene in 1972 as the writer, director and producer of Bone, starring Yaphet Kotto. A trailblazer in the blaxploitation scene, he wrote and directed Black Caesar (featuring a score by James Brown) and its follow up, Hell Up In Harlem, both starring Fred Williamson. Next, he began a career in horror thrillers, starting with Its Alive (which spawned two sequels,) and continuing with God Told Me To, Q: The Winged Serpent, The Stuff, Maniac Cop, Uncle Sam, Phone Booth, Cellular and Captivity. His massive body of work always blends a signature style of dread, social commentary, wicked humor, and a truly rebellious, independent spirit.
