Movie Review - IT'S ALIVE (2008)

I don't know why I decided to watch this movie. It was awful, just awful. And after looking it up I saw that it had less than two stars on IMDb, and that only six percent of 946 people liked the movie on Rotten Tomatoes. When I received this movie I thought it was the original movie, not the remake, which I didn't even know existed. I was disappointed to get the remake as I have yet to see the original. I will actually be watching it next and will review it and compare it to this remake.

First I have to tell you all what this movie is about. It is about a young woman Lenore, who finds out she is pregnant by her longtime boyfriend, Frank. Frank lives on a farm and takes care of his wheelchair bound younger brother, Chris. Later in the movie we find out that Lenore tried to abort the baby by buying pills online. They did not work and she had a monster of an infant. Not only does the child incessantly cry, but he loves the taste of human flesh.

I hate being hard on movies, but there was nothing redeeming or interesting in this movie. The kills were dull and not explored. The bodies were not shown in any form after or during the kills. The characters were all incredibly flat and boring. Also, the movie, while only lasting an hour and a half, seemed to last for much longer than it should have.

The character of Lenore has a best friend at the college she is attending, Marnie, but the relationship doesn't seem very strong or interesting. There are no relationships that seem very strong or interesting. One would think that Frank would be there for his brother, Chris, but he isn't. He leaves Chris all of the time and he goes to work (only one day is shown in the movie) and leaves Chris in the care of Lenore, who he is worried about.

Once Lenore has the child the room she has given birth in becomes a crime scene, and nothing seems to faze with the father, Frank, or the mother, Lenore. No one seems to worry that the baby was born and the mother and baby were left in a bloodbath.

Lastly, I have to address the acting of Bijou Phillips. While I have no problem with her personally, and I can't admit to seeing her in anything else, although I may have, she was the most annoying character in this movie. As a mother she cares nothing for Chris, and is disgusted by what her child does, but she also sees nothing wrong with it in the same breath, which was annoying. But, overall it was her high pitched, and very whiny voice which annoyed me the most.

So, was this a good movie? Absolutely not. I don't think anyone should suffer through this, even if it were available for streaming, just don't waste your time. There are better really bad movie out there, like FROGS or PIRANHA 3D.
