1/5 Bad remake
  by Jeffery L. Voyles (tennessee)
I thought the original was okay. I could barely make it all the way through this one. Maybe I've developed some taste in movies since I saw the original. :-)

2/5 IT's ALIVE..............(almost)
  by Robert F. Powers (Quincy, Ma USA)
It's Alive the direct to video remake of the shlocky Larry Cohen movie from the 70's is not better or worse than the original but it's certainly no better. The parents in the new version are younger but differs from the original in that the father in the older film was the monster babys protector. Another change from the prior film is the baby in the original looked like a monster while this baby looks like a normal infant until it opens its mouth and has the teeth of a barracuda. Bijou Phillips plays mommy and she acts like an airhead and can't even read her lines not sounding like she was reading directions off a box of brownie mix. And as the movie progresses she seems more over-psychotic than over-protective. She even enjoys looking at her mutilated nipple from breast-feeding her bouncing, hungry baby boy.

The movie then spends most of the time finding some lame excuse for visitors to the house only to end up as snacks. Two of the munchables are an idiot of a sherrif and his female deputy. The sherrif is convinced something wrong is happenening at the house and when he and his deputy arrive at the house the power is out-and when the deputy nervously asks "should I call for back-up?" the genius sherrif says, "Naw let's just look around for a bit". BINGO!- Dinner Time.

As for blood and gore, it seems tame for an un-rated movie. If you blink you miss it. So you haven't missed anything if you miss this.

The creative team missed a golden opportunity for at least a cheap laugh. The baby's name is Daniel.......wouldn't it have better to call the child IT? After all......IT'S ALIVE!

1/5 The worst movie ever made
  by SandyBeach (Honolulu, Hawaii)
I'm 63 years old, and I've seen a lot of movies in my time. And this one is the worst of them all. By far. I wish I could assign minus stars.
