IT'S ALIVE!

Cinemavixion Review

Larry Buchanan's "It's Alive!" from 1969 presents a peculiar blend of B-movie horror and creature feature. The narrative centers on a farmer who harbors a prehistoric monster, leading to a desperate struggle for survival when he abducts unsuspecting victims. While the film may not boast high production values, it thrives on its campy charm and the earnest performances of its lead cast, including Tommy Kirk and Shirley Bonne. The plot, though simple, delivers moments of suspense as the captives attempt to outwit both the farmer and his monstrous charge. For fans of vintage creature features and low-budget thrills, "It's Alive!" offers a diverting, if somewhat loony, cinematic experience that captures the spirit of its era.
