Leder's It! A Personal Analysis

IT! is the third title in the RoosterVision series, which presents personal analysis alongside critical discussion of films that have had everlasting impacts on authors and their work. Herbert J. Leder' s monster movie, IT!, which he wrote, directed, and produced, premiered in 1967 and has gone on to become a largely forgotten gem. Also known as CURSE OF THE GOLEM and ANGER OF THE GOLEM, Leder's film features a central performance by Roddy McDowell, an unforgettable creature design, and a truly over-the-top climax. IT! is the type of film for which the term "cult classic" was invented.
