Worth watching, 3 November 2009
4/10
Author: atinder from United Kingdom

I was not fan of the It's Alive that made in the 70's.

now in this remake which went straight to DVD, Lenore is pregnant she take break of collage leaves and then soon she feel pain , as they rush to hospital and Doctor tell Frank (The Father of baby) Baby is grown and need perform a C-Section, while she only 6 months pregnant,and the baby seen normal,Then we see another nurse goes pass room, see all nurse have being killed in the room.

As they take the baby home, everything see normal as start of the movie they show bit of baby looks too cute to be evil at the point and soon after birds has been found dead in house and Garden then Lenore soon find out that baby has just killed the Cat and now she knows.

While her Girlfriend is really worried about as she not answer her calls for long a time as goes to Lenore house with boyfriend and soon ends up getting killed by the baby (The deaths were okay and bit bloody which i really liked but most of the deaths are same as the mum goes to find the baby and she her baby has killed her best friend then he hides the bodies in basement.

What also liked was that plot what happened before baby was born and why mum think it her fault why the baby is the way it is.

what I did not like about the movie, actors were good, I would preferred old cast member like original, also the whole movie had kind slow pace for most of the movie until near the end of movie that rush the movie so quick, (Lead to one plot hole).

And the baby which scary if you 8 years old) as it looked too Cartoonish which really bad CGI. (I did not like the original movie but least it did make the baby look scary and Real) it worth watching movie, 4/10
