'It's Alive!' (1969)

Sadistic Madman And His Monster

Strange film. It's main focus is about the sadistic madman farmer & the people he has held captive and not so much the rarely seen creature. Most all of the talk in the film was about, you guessed it, the crazy farmer. Honestly this film would have been so much better if the creature part was left out of it. The farmer could have easily tricked them into the cave/cell without the rare bits of the monster part of the show. And because the creature is so rare in this film, it's hard to call this movie a creature feature - it's mainly a madman feature. 

The movie a bit slow but it's not the type that seems to drag and drag - only in a small handful of places does it drag forever but it'll pick back up to the even slower pace instead of the dragging pace.

I actually liked this film better than I expected and it's not what I was expecting either - this one is sorta a surprise.

6/10
