Another day, another horror remake. What’s scary is that I’m actually starting to get used to it. In fact, I wasn’t surprised at all to see the red band trailer for the re-imagining of Larry Cohen’s cult classic “It’s Alive” lurking suspiciously within my Inbox this morning. First Look is handling the film’s release, which, strangely enough, is bypassing theaters and going directly to DVD. This is never a good sign, though judging from the clip below, it’s probably the smart thing to do. Only time will tell if curiosity can sinks its claws deep enough into my tiny little brain for me to waste 90 minutes on this potential disaster. Who am I kidding — I’m going to watch it.

Given we live in an age where darn near every horror movie hitting theaters is either a remake or a sequel, it’s kind of surprising to hear that a remake is bypassing theaters and going straight to DVD. Such is the case of the remake of Larry Cohen’s killer baby opus It’s Alive.
First Look Studios has announced an October 6th DVD release date for Josef Rusnak’s remake of It’s Alive starring Bijou Philips about a new mother slipping into madness to protect her newborn killer mutant baby.
No further DVD details are available at this time, but they should be forthcoming shortly.
