Review of It's Alive (1974) by Halimali H — 19 Feb 2010
It's Alive is a horror movie from the 70s. The story is about a couple who are expecting a baby but the babay turns out to be a murderous mutants who kills everybody.
Usually the 70s and 80s horror movies have the chilling atmosphere but somehow this movie did not have this particular effect on me. I was about to fall asleep in the mid of the film even though I was fully awake and not tired.
Acting was not much here in my opinion. it could be better. Sometimes it felt as it was purely plastic.
Horror movies usually have a music theme but this one lacked it badly.
Here goes my ratings:
-Entertainment: 50%.
-Performances: 30%.
-Direction: 50%.
-Cinematography/Special effects: 40%.
-Background Music: 20%.
-Duration: 70%.
Overall: 43% ====> 40%.
