It's Alive, "the ONE film you shouldn't see alone."

***Reader Submitted Review***

I have not seen any reviews for It's Alive on Best-Horror-Movies.com, or other sites. I was scared out of my mind when I was a child watching the commercials for this movie. I mean, you hear a nursery rhyme then you see the bassinet and then comes the claw of the evil demon baby.

I didn't understand the movie and I had no idea that the movie was implying that fertility drugs made the babies the way they were. The idea of that now isn't that scary but it could happen even today. I think today we would be more excepting of a demon baby than in the 1970's.

I loved It's Allive, it was made with a small budget and Rick Baker is one of the best effects people - given that time period he did awesomely.

It's Alive is worth seeing along with the others that followed, It Lives Again and Island of the Alive. Watch the first 30 minutes then let me know what you think.
