The concept is fun, a newborn killer. However it suffers from really low budget, so the thing is never really seen, nor are the kills or the victims. What's left is a kinda hunt though actually it's just the baby killing people on his way to home. Since they don't show it, they could have developed it a bit. We don't even know if it's killing for defence, fear or to feed. It is not only able to kill, it seems to also be very intelligent, but we never really know the extent of its abilities. It's not clear what the father saw that changed his mind and made him [spoiler]try to save it in the last moments[/spoiler]. But at this point, [spoiler]he already shot it and it killed his friend[/spoiler]! Also, after he just [spoiler]throws it at someone, why isn't he arrested, that was attempted murder at least, and actual murder through the cops that all shot the guy like crazy[/spoiler]. Not clear whether it's suggesting that the monster comes from pollution or big pharma, though it clearly shows they are bad guys. Could have been a bit more incisive on this.

John P. Ryan takes command of this movie about a mutant killer infant. You read that right. No spoiler. That's the premise. Creepy sound effects are really what carries this one and while the out of its mind premise sounds just crazy enough on paper to be fun, it is dragged down with a very grounded script that really examines what could happen if this nutso event would occur. Utterly bizarre. Slow pacing hurt the overall film, but it has truly earned its cult status. 4/10

I really want to make fun of "It's Alive" for a lot of reasons but I can't tell if there is real social commentary being attempted or if it's just accidental. Was the mutant baby caused by birth control? One of the characters made a comment about pollution hinting that that may be the cause of def More
