'It's Alive'! and you'll wish you weren't after wasting time on this little beauty! Allow me to continue. So, is this New Mexico after a nuclear winter? I live in Oregon and this certainly looked like my home, not New Mexico. No sand, no sun, no people of color. But I digress. As the plot (and I use that word loosely) began to unfold another demented baby movie came to mind, that being "Grace". Drop 'It's Alive' on its head and run out and get that movie. Major creep-out. When shown at Sundance, it was said to have caused two men to faint and projectile vomiting from audience members. Anyhow, why does she keep the bundle of joy? If he is so strong as to take out adults, how is it he reverts to cooing baby when in her arms? How is it that she has breasts left? How is it that her husband hasn't noticed the little freak when he gazes upon him in sheer love? This movie is a mess and not in a laughable, good way. Like others who reviewed, I was drawn in by Ms. Phillips. Curious I guess. She did a good job. Didn't burst out laughing at the absurdities in the story line. Did I really see the tiny hand of the baby grabbing at thin air from inside the mouth of one of the victims? If so, it was worth it for that.
