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.
