It's Alive

The original, the horrific "It's Alive" written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen in 1974. The movie, in which the Davie's infant child turns out to be a vicious mutant monster that kills when frightened, when hungry, or just when ever.

I love this movie. I first saw it in about the 7th grade (uh oh, age hint here) and it has not lost any of it's original charm. Um, I mean harm.

If you are into camp, bad acting, bad writing, really bad special effects, then spend a saturday evening revisiting this classic. This is one of those movies so bad it is good.

Scene of NOTE (little spoiler here) Mr. Davies leaves the Hospital after his now missing son has slaughtered the entire delvery room staff. With apparently nothing else on his mind, Mr Davies decides to get a newspaper and catch up on the days events HUH?! Really WTF?!

You be the judge here but I found plenty reason to laugh.
