Reseñas de Metacritic

By turns frightening and heartbreaking, an aspect particularly reflected in John P. Ryan’s tormented performance as the baby’s father, the film is not only perhaps one of Cohen’s best films but one of the finest American horror films of the last 30 years.

It’s Alive presents a dialectic of horror in which monstrous excess is first repudiated and rejected, then returns in the form of self-loathing and social stigmatization, and is finally painfully accepted as an essential part of ourselves.

Compelling 1970s take on the monster horror genre which remains fresh and hugely watchable.

It's Alive is a justifiably praised low-budget effort that delves into the dark side of American family life from a horror-movie perspective.

John Ryan's performance as the husband is particularly astute, and Bernard Herrmann's score milks the suspense for all it's worth.

Stomach-churning.
