NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

adi_2002 Just the fact that the youngest serial killer. After Lenore born prematurely the baby kills all the doctors in the operating room. Then she moves with her boyfriend who lives with his brother who is immobilized in a wheelchair. Lenore and Frank apparently lead a quiet life until they find that their baby likes to kill animals and has a big appetite for blood. Lenore distances herself even from her best friend who is forced to make them a visit to find out what is happening to her and why does not response to her calls. It will end with her boyfriend in front of this little monster. It seems that neither the police can not do anything and they will be killed because do not think that a small child could do such things and another one is responsible for the murders. Neither his mother does not want her little creature to gets hurt, after seeing her friends were killed she did not take action, instead she cleans up after him to erase any trace. It's a stupid movie with a very bad idea. There's only one thing wrong with this baby, the fact that he should not exist.

Michael O'Keefe An ambitious remake of Larry Cohen's 1974 killer baby classic. An attractive grad student Lenore(Bijou Phillips)puts her education on hold to have a baby with her architect boyfriend Frank(James Murray). Plans of a beautiful life in a secluded country atmosphere is not going to stand a chance when Lenore has her baby by emergency C-section. Not exactly a bundle of joy; but a natural born killer...an abomination craving to be fed. Lenore knows her baby is prone to savage attacks, but just can't tell her husband of their baby's murderous impulses. A few chills and a couple of squirms in store; but you hardly get to see the monster baby...just what is left over from his ravaging appetite . Others in the cast: Owen Teale, Jack Ellis, Ty Glaser and Raphael Coleman. Little baby Daniel is an unholy terror.

Michael_Elliott It's Alive (2008) ** (out of 4) Remake of Larry Cohen's cult classic has parents Lenore and Frank (Bijou Phillips, James Murray) happy to welcome in a baby boy but there seems to be something wrong. During the C-Section everyone in the delivery room was murdered with the exception of mommy and baby. Soon others start to go missing and you just know it has something to do with the baby. This film, co-written by the original film's director and screenwriter, ended up going straight-to-DVD here in the U.S. and that's pretty understandable because this film is pretty so-so from start to finish. I'd imagine this one here would have been a tough sell as not too many people want to watch a movie about a killer baby and even if they did this film doesn't offer up too much. I think the biggest problem here is the screenplay. For starters, we're suppose to connect with the mother yet the screenplay doesn't do her any favors by making her rather stupid and someone we really can't care for. She begins helping the baby by covering up the murders, which some might say a lot of parents would but at the same time she never stops and thinks about the thing being a killer. Another problem is that all of the violence is kept off screen and we never get to see the baby doing any of the killings. I'm sure this was done so that the film might have a chance of getting released but this makes the film rather bland especially when compared to the original. The screenplay does add a few good touches including keeping the baby normal looking instead of the mutant from the original film. We also get a rather interesting reason as to what's wrong with the kid and why he's doing all the killings. I think it would have helped the film had this been brought up at the start so that we could have known this going through the film and they could have done more with it. I thought both Phillips and Murray were fine in their roles with the supporting players doing fine work as well. No one is going to win an Oscar for their work but it's good enough for this type of film. In the end this movie really doesn't work but it's not a complete failure either. The movie is just here and there's really nothing special or bad about it. I'm not sure who it will appeal to other than those who need to see every horror movie out there or those who just want to compare it to the original.

homecoming8 "It's Alive" is a remake of the 70's classic by Larry Cohen (which was executive producer on this one). It even spawned 2 more sequels, "It Lives Again" and "Island Of The Alive". I saw those movies once and curious what the remake would be like. Well it is bad, really bad. It starts of great with a massacre during the birth (although it is not actually shown) but the story goes rapidly downhill from than on. It also makes no sense at all, especially the actions of the mother after she discovers that there is something seriously evil about her baby. (the baby kills a pigeon and she acts like the whole thing didn't happen and is supposed to be normal ??) The killings are rather stupid, there is even a laughably CGI effect of the baby's little arm crushing to a victim's head. Very cheaply done. The baby is not really shown (very little budget on special effects). Maybe they tried it but it was so bad that they actually cut it out before theatrical release. I saw the so-called UNRATED version, no idea what had to be cut out for the theatrical version. Could not have been much...
