The complete it's alive trilogy!

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

Blind bought these because I've heard nothing but good things about them. Automatically LOVED the first one. It covers a lot of pretty deep topics and fears are covered in this centering on parenting and all the fears that come along with pregnancy and child birth. I'm blanking on the actors name who plays the father of the mutant child but his performance is out of this world. The second it's alive just ups the mutant child count but manages to cover how society is dealing with these mutant births becoming more wide spread. The 3rd brings the mutant babies into the 80's and it's all the better for it. This one centers on the mutants being banished to a secluded island and also shows how they are as they grow into mutant adults.

I picked up this set because I’m a fan of classic horror films that I haven’t discovered. This set is one of those purchases. The It’s Alive trilogy is well represented in this box set. All 3 films look and sound amazing along with some nice extras. A must have for classic horror film fan.

IT’S ALIVE (1974) may be ace director Larry Cohen’s most impressive achievement. Cohen is the rare exploitation master who also happens to be an actor’s director; his films—and especially the IT’S ALIVE trilogy—are filled with interesting, fully-formed characters and heady themes. This is not your standard drive-in fare—the three movies in this classy box set from Shout! Factory are simultaneously shocking entertainment and examinations of parenthood, the dignity of life, and the dangers of tampering with natural biological mechanisms. The films may not be for all tastes, but the terror is largely PG-rated (with the exception of the third movie).

This box set from Shout!’s Scream Factory label (the films are licensed from Warner Bros) is a top-tier presentation of these genre classics. Each movie has its own disc, and each disc its own Blu ray case (with reversible cover art). I am told that the transfers are noticeably improved from the Warners DVDs (which I do not own; I still have IT’S ALIVE on Warner Bros. VHS, however). The tremendously-entertaining audio commentaries by director Cohen have been ported over from those DVDs, along with several brand new video extras exclusive to this set. Even if you own IT’S ALIVE or its sequels on DVD, this box set is a terrific upgrade. Highly, highly recommended, even as a blind purchase—you will not be disappointed. I do not buy many physical Blu rays any more, but I made a special exception for this set (which is a steal even at its suggested list price; the sale price makes this a no-brainer purchase). Thank you, Shout! Factory, for your great presentation of this nostalgic favorite.

Triple the trouble: menacing, mutant babies blanketed in blood

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019

The late, great Larry Cohen’s cult classic It’s Alive Trilogy looks and sounds fantastic in Shout! Factory’s Blu-ray set. Additionally, commentaries, interviews, subtitles, and a couple more extras are included. And now, individual reviews for these films will commence.

(1) Mommy’s little monster terrorizes the burbs

The Stuff (1985) was my introduction to Larry Cohen, which was an interesting film, but had lots of holes. Expecting something similar in It's Alive (1974), I was pleasantly surprised that the story and acting were significantly better in comparison.

Despite being made almost 50 years ago, themes in this movie are just as relevant today, e.g. chemically induced genetic mutations, corporate scandals and greed, reliance on pharmaceuticals as a panacea, valuation of normal/abnormal human life, and obsession with self/public image. The story enticed me early (about 10 minutes in) when the fathers in the hospital waiting room discussed toxic chemicals humans consume, pesticide use promoting propagation of resistant strains, and ubiquitous air pollution; while dialogue proceeds, a father failingly attempts to coerce (via monies and brute force) vending machines to dispense--indeed, the waiting room scene primes the viewer's anticipation for horrors produced by anthropogenic means and more comedy.

While many facets of this film are noteworthy, the musical score was outstanding and throughout was reminiscent of Rod Serling's beloved Twilight Zone. Post-viewing, I learned that the composer, Bernard Herrmann, was a prestigious, prolific person amongst his peers and HAD done music for Serling. Additionally, he scored films for directorial giants including Orson Wells, Martin Scorsese, Brian de Palma, and numerous films for Alfred Hitchcock--an extraordinary, impressive repertoire! I most enjoyed the electronic-symphonic blend toward the end.

How anyone can say John Ryan's performance was stoic/wooden is incomprehensible. The array of emotions portrayed in his dynamic character displayed a special talent, pliability. And, Cohen said in an interview that Ryan won an acting award for this film. In addition, performances across the board were truly fine.

Finally, Cohen captured some 1970s upper-middle-class culture, which was interesting to experience. Residuals from the 60s were still present, no doubt, e.g. some dress and hairstyles, automobile design, and unapologetic patriarchy--for instance, the mother's input wasn't solicited by the scientists seeking to obtain her newborn, only the father's; and the father struck his hysterical wife's face--twice--in disapproving anger. While on the topic of controversial content, I wondered if the dead cat was real--if not the special effects were quite convincing; however, that can't be said for the mutant, despite being created by artist Rick Baker who's won a plethora of awards.

It’s Alive is a solid 4 out of 5 stars and comes highly recommended.

(2) Three times the threat compared to the original, but the story needs help

After watching It’s Alive (1974), I was excited about seeing the sequel, It’s Alive 2: It Lives Again (1978). Although expectations were disappointed, Cohen’s follow up is still worth watching one time.

I could be wrong, but it seems Cohen wasn’t prepared to do a sequel--the story was undeveloped and lacked the alluring aura that permeates in the first film. It’s plausible that he--in fact--wasn’t engaged in the writing process and didn’t have sufficient time to cultivate the story compared to the original. In an interview, Cohen said that the sequel was solicited by Warner Brothers; he gave no indication that a second film was planned of his own accord. Furthermore, Cohen stated that years passed between conceiving the story for It’s Alive and adapting it to film, which wasn’t the case for It Lives Again.

Albeit shortcomings haunt the sequel, at times it worked for the movie’s benefit, mostly by generating laughs from ridiculous acting or dialogue. For instance, I cracked up when teary-eyed Frank Davis was lamenting about wounding his mutant son--complemented by poignant music--and whimpered, “But he forgave me.” Also, the entire altercation between Eugene and Jody Scott at the mutant refuge was amusing; I busted a gut when the scene ended with Eugene SCREAMING, “We’re not going to be the same people anymore!” There were some good laughs that Cohen intended to create as well.

I may be stretching it giving It Lives Again 3 stars--nevertheless, it’s worth a watch.

(3) This is an entirely different animal

Compared to the first two films, It’s Alive 3: Island of the Alive (1987) feels completely different. It’s certainly an improvement over It’s Alive 2 (1978), but falls short of the merit It’s Alive (1974) earned.

From beginning to end, Island of the Alive aims for comedy--thanks to Michael Moriarty’s improvisations, it gets goofy as hell at times. I enjoyed his humor, mostly dry, but highly effective. Cult queen Karen Black provided some funny moments as well. But god, I HAVE to see Q (1982) and A Return to Salem’s Lot now--both Cohen-Moriarty collaborations; Cohen said Moriarty’s best performance was in Q (considering films they did together). Moriarty was entertaining in The Stuff (1985), but he stood out strong in Island of the Alive.

Horror-wise, there were moments, and more gore was included than the previous two films combined. But, when I watch this again--and I intend to--it will be for the laughs more than anything. Overall, Island of the Alive is a 4 star film--not bad at all.

Monster Babies STILL Scare Me Today, Like They Did When I Was a Kid!

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019

I ordered this horrid treasure trove from Amazon, after my high-tech, Verizon Fios cable TV provider, failed to deliver! I had ordered just the first movie in this series, "It's Alive," from Verizon's On-Demand service in my home. But as I tried to watch it with my teenager, it just froze, froze, and then stopped. I was angry, not so much because I got a bad copy that Verizon of course refunded me for, but because I got hyped about seeing this movie again, at my now age 50, not age 6, like I was when it hit movie theaters. I was determined to show MY now 18-year-old, what effective horror looks like. And she agreed with me, as we watched a movie that scared us, not with lazy, though expensive special effects, but with good writing and use of our own imaginations. The writing was such that I still think of these monster babies, days after I watched them! So I recommend this movie series for anyone who wishes to return to the good times when, we had decent writers who made us think of their creative ideas, and get scared with our own imaginations, not with lazy side effects.

米Shout Factoryからラリー・コーエン監督よるホラー3部作「悪魔の赤ちゃん」シリーズが発売です。こういう作品まで豪華なBOXで発売してしまうShout Factoryは流石です。

収録作品：
・悪魔の赤ちゃん(1973)
・悪魔の赤ちゃん２(1978)
・悪魔の赤ちゃん３／禁断の島(1986)

日本では2作目以降は劇場未公開ですが、DVDは10年ほど前にワーナー・ホーム・ビデオから発売されています。おそらく国内でブルーレイになることはないでしょう。
画質はそこまで綺麗と言う感じではありません。ショットにより画質のばらつきがあります。綺麗なシーンは綺麗です。もちろんブルーレイなので記憶よりは何倍も綺麗ですが。

収録特典は3作品とも監督の音声解説が収録されています。
1作目には監督のインタビューなど収録されています。
恐らくこのBOXが発売されるタイミングで製作した特典なので、映像も綺麗です。
ラリー・コーエン監督は先日お亡くなりになったので、貴重な特典です。

3作品がBOXに収納されており、1～2作目はリバーシブルジャケットです。
