Plot Summary
A couple expecting a baby discover it's a monster that kills when it's scared. Terror, like all good things, begins at home. Set to a chilling Bernard Herrmann ("Psycho") score, this eerie and shocking tale of an inhuman newborn who wreaks havoc upon the city of Los Angeles was a surprise boxoffice hit, following in the tradition of "The Exorcist." Along with its two sequels, this cult favorite was written, directed and produced by Larry Cohen.

A Great 1970's Classic horror!
it's alive is a great horror thriller with many twists and turns.. NOTHING BEATS classic 70's horror.. Just give it a chance if you are a classic horror movie/thriller fan.. check this one out a really Great nail biter in other notes watching it reminded me of the cinematography style of "Dawn of the dead" (1978) Version.. and the soundtrack from "It's Alive" glued all the elements together Just perfect! they don't make them like this much anymore and it is A shame.
A classic horror film
THIS is actually the first review BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY REVIEWING THE FILM!!! Why are you ppl being stupid just going around saying "This is the first review" when it's not a review at all! This film is a classic, and it was so good it had TWO sequels! How cool is that?
ummm
not my cup of tea.. i like some older ones but this was a little to cheesy for me..
