Headhunter

Some call him the phantom physician, or the medical marvel. He is a masked vigilante who not only captures criminals, but "cures" them as well. The police consider him an outlaw. Medical science brands him a charlatan. But he alone has developed the miracle laser beam that can rechannel brain waves and make public enemies into useful citizens again. The underworld has given him a name: HEADHUNTER. From legendary cult filmmaker Larry Cohen - the maverick mind behind It's Alive, God Told Me To, Phone Booth and Q: The Winged Serpent - comes an unproduced screenplay that fuses comic-book heroics, pulp noir, and the subversive wit that made him a genre icon. Long hidden in Cohen's archives, Headhunter will be a revelation for fans and a delight for lovers of bold, unconventional cinema. Featuring an introduction by film scholar James Kenney contextualizing Cohen's visionary blend of satire and suspense, the book includes photos and production stills.
