Vastly overrated baby killer horror about a couple that gives birth to a murderous mutant infant.

If this is a comedy, we missed the joke.
Director Cohen (who did 1976's infinitely better God Told Me To) has his enthusiastic group of ardent admirers, but sometimes crap is merely just crap. No spin necessary.
True to its lameitude, this was followed by two sequels: It Lives Again! in 1978 and It's Alive III: Island of the Alive in 1986.
