It's Alive (1974)
6/10
Yay a baby! But something is terribly wrong...

It's alive is a somewhat underrated movie about a baby being born and killing people. It's the kind of horror movie you either avoid or treasure. For me, it's kinda a tough choice.

I liked the movie for the creepy atmosphere and good music. The story build-up is also noteworthy. The acting is okay, although some characters tend to annoy you after awhile.

What I really hated about this movie is the large amount of muttering words. It could be my quality of the movie, but I couldn't understand several characters most of the time. For example, the leading woman (who gives birth to the baby) was as clear as day. So either I got a bad copy or something went wrong when they made this movie. It's usually helpful if you can hear what the people are saying. It helps with understanding the story.

Okay, so the plot is silly and the effects are kind of hokey, but that doesn't take away the charm of this film.

It's Alive is a little horror gem. I can imagine it was (and maybe still is) quite scary for pregnant women.

6 out of 10 stars.
