It's Alive: Now I know alot of you havn't seen this one but holy crap. This movie scared the bejesus out of me and with good reason. Made in 1974 and directed by Larry Cohen, It's Alive drew people in thinking that because of the low budget nature of the film that it wouldn't be scary, man where they wrong. When this movie came out it disturbed audiences because of it's minimal amount of gore and huge amount of creepyness. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll give you quick run down. The Davis family has decided to have a second child, but are having trouble getting pregnant. Eventualy they turn to a fertility drug that is manufactured by a large Chemical conglomerate. The drug works, a little too well. When the baby is born it comes out a healthy 13 pounds and looks like a hemroid with fangs. The infant proceeds to slaughter the doctor and nurses in the delivery room and goes on a rampage. If it where up to the father, the movie would be over fairly quickly because he doesn't seem to have problem with the idea of hunting the thing down and killing it, but the mother goes a little over the rainbow and her maternal instincts kick in. This forces the father, for love of his wife, to try and hide the little darling and keep the police and animal controle guys from making swiss cheese out of it. the Baby also eats a milk man. Now I know your thinking, Oh great, another chemical corporation makes fertility drug that produces 13 pound bloodthirsty mutant baby story, but i'm telling you. This one's a keeper. The key thing that makes the movie worth watching is the specials effects. For being such a low budget movie, the effects were top notch. The best of which being that you rarely see the Baby full on and when you do your like, "Christ bananas! That thing looks real!" and it does, and it sounds even creepier. If you like horror movies are creepy, cheesey, and a little bit disturbing, then believe me , you've found a jewel in this movie. A jewel in this movie? My god, that was terrible. I'll just go ahead and end the review, bye.


Note: They are making a remake of this movie that is supposed to be out next year, so watch this before the remake makes it to theatres.
