Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Low budget classic, at least in my book
I agree with the other reviewer who found this movie hilarious. It is. This is a very fun movie to watch. Frederick is a pleasure to watch in this flick; he holds this perpetual look of borderline surprise throughout the film, as if he can't believe he's actually in this movie. He seems to compensate by maintaining an attitude of muted sardonic humor, not only in his facial expressions but in his lines.
The picture quality and sound quality are horrible but they add to the film's ultimate ... Read More
Rating:  - A So-So Successor To The Original
In 1978, Larry Cohen finally offered us a sequel to the classic 1974 low-budget horror original IT'S ALIVE! In the follow-up IT LIVES AGAIN, he gives us the same low-budget treatment (some would argue this film was made on an even lower budget). However, while the original had some delightful goofiness, the tone of this movie is decidedly darker and more serious. It is also more violent. Although the PG rating for IT'S ALIVE! may have been a bit of a stretch to begin with, there was no doubt whatsoever ... Read More
Rating:  - Interesting
When I saw the first "It's Alive" movie in the theatre when I was 17, it scared me so bad I couldn't sleep alone for 3 nights. Funny, when I saw it the other night, I could not figure out what scared me. It is such a funny movie. The cinematography is extremely bad, but I guess it was good for 1976 or whenever it first came out. This movie is not as good as the first and I'm going to watch the third tonight. I'm expecting it to be equally bad.
Rating:  - An exiciting and funny sequal!
This film was so much more exciting to see. Larry Cohen is still the master of classic horror films. In this one, there are three more babies, and the sounds of their crying you just have to laugh about. Some of the scenes that are supposed to be scary are actually quite hilarious also, but it still holds you to your seat. Another thing that made the movie so good was that Larry had kept Bernard Herrmann's music, and had asked a friend of his called Laurie Johnson, a British composer well known for ... Read More
Rating: - Better if you were there during the filming...
This horror flick was filmed in Tucson Arizona. Larry Cohen actually conned one of the local hospitals into letting him do a lot of the filming on site.
After the hospital administrators figured out what kind of movie it really was, he had to use local hotels for the remainder of his hospital scenes. However, the delivery room scenes were actually filmed in the delivery room of the real hospital.
A lot of the hospital staff was allowed to be in the film (at no pay, of course). This ... Read More
