    Dull and boring sums up this remake.Only saving grace which is'nt much is that its got a different story to the 1973 orignal and gore fans will be happy with some of the gore on screen.But its the flat and twist free ending that sum up that the film making did'nt care in what the...( read more)y were doing!!!!!

    Though not as much fun as the original, it is a regular watch, with some decent gore. It really has no relation to the original, other than a killing baby, and the same of the family´s name Davies.

    It's alive

    Lanore is going into labor at only 6 months. When the Dr delivered it, it looked abnormal. The whole room was covered in blood and 2 nurses and 2 Drs were found dead. Afterwards lanore didn't know what exactly happened. When they bring their baby home he rolls over an...( read more)d starts to hold his head up. Babies don't do that until later on. Lanores husbands brother suspects somethings up when the cat playing with a rat was drug under his bed. Lanore catches her baby eatting a dead bird. She also finds the dead cat in his crib. While the dr came
    To investigate Lorane her baby when wild and killed him in the car. Instead of reporting the killing she hauled the car off. Things start to get crazy when lorane looses her mind after her best friend gets killed And the dad finds something dead in his crib. There are some inconsistencies when the power goes out. How can a baby reach the lights and have the strength to kill these people? The ending was morbid and sad.

    The original was much better. This one was just a waste of my time. Everything looked fake.

    its not to bad ... to bad they made it more confusing than explaining how it all happened... but by the end will make sense at least ...

    It's Alive remake is not as creepy or better than the original,but it was different with some good ideas of is own.Unfortunately some scenes wasn't executed right & the film goes over the top.I also prefer the leading actors of the original.Bijou Philips & James Murray wasn't so ...( read more)convincing or believable as a couple,not much chemistry with these two.The baby monster of the original is creepy,but the baby of this remake was kept off screen until the end.It was hard to get a close look at him in few of the scenes,but once i got to see this CGI baby i had to smile...it didn't look that good.It's Alive is average & entertaining,with few flaws.

    Why remake a film that wasn?t that good to begin with? It certainly didn?t improve on the original. I was not impressed, routine stuff,more gore than scares and it?s so predictable. The performances a decent though, and the score isn?t bad. Otherwise, forgettable.
