• The Man Who Came to Kill a Rat

"At 3 o'clock Bill Lennocks [sic] wife will be raped and have her throat cut by a black psychopath, unless he hands over his life's savings... Bill doesn't make it... " WHAT THE CRITICS SAID "A masterpiece in more ways than one" VIDEO VIEWER "Blackest of black comedies. Dial Rat progresses to a conclusion. Both hideous and hilarious. A real collectors item". EVENT "Another title in the stream of worthwhile movies that are surfacing in London's video rental shops, is Larry Cohen's Dial Rat. The film is a strange black comedy with Yaphet Kotto (Alien, You Only Live Twice) as a reluctant rapist confronting a smart couple in their home and finally colluding with the wife against the husband. Film critic Robin Wood went so far as to call Dial Rat one of the most remarkable debuts in American cinema". TIME OUT MAGAZINE
