It’s Alive!

November 26th, 2008

Written By: Andrew James

Don’t know how much I actually have to say about this trailer as I’ve never seen the original 1974 version of It’s Alive. But here I thought I found a potential submission for next year’s Toronto After Dark Film Festival. According to IMDb however, the release date for this thing is THIS year. So while I haven’t seen the original and don’t have much to say about this, maybe you have and want to sound off? Go ahead.

Thanks to Dread Central for the heads up!

That’s quite different from the original. But it’s not like that was a masterpiece or anything. Here the baby looks normal but in the original it was a monster from the start, green with fangs and claws.

Is this for real? LOL!

The original left more to the imagination, was not gory, and best of all had a dark sense of humor and a music score by the master, Bernard Herrmann.
