What critics compared Maniac Cop to
The story is the brainchild of writer Larry Cohen, hitherto known for B-movie and schlock horror flicks like "Maniac Cop" and "It's Alive."
The script by B-movie veteran Larry Cohen (Maniac Cop, It's Alive! and Black Caesar) makes the most out of the claustrophobic situation.
Written by noted, and higher-minded, schlock artist Larry Cohen (“It’s Alive!,” “Maniac Cop,” “The Stuff”), “Phone Booth” pulses with tension, wringing it out of even the most mundane of circumstances.
Hats off to veteran B-movie screenwriter Larry Cohen (Itâs Alive, Maniac Cop) for selling a nifty premise to a big studio, but heâs all pitch and no payoff.
The script, penned by Maniac Cop mastermind Larry Cohen, has its feet in the genre ghetto but reaches for much loftier heights.
