It Lives Again

About This Movie

It Lives Again, directed by Larry Cohen, takes a wild detour into horror with a sci-fi twist. The film dives into the unsettling world of monstrous infants – an idea that just hangs in the air, you know? The pacing has this weird, creeping tension as you watch parents grapple with the horror of their newborns. Practical effects here are something else, really adding to that raw, gritty feel of the film. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the performances, especially from the leads, are solid, capturing that parental turmoil beautifully. It's very much about the fear of parenthood and what you might unleash. Cohen’s knack for mixing social commentary with genre elements makes this a standout piece, even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
