It’s Alive Trilogy – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Larry Cohen – a low budget filmmaker with origins in television – had garnered a following over the years with his unique style of melding social commentary within genre pictures predominately in the 1970’s and 1980’s. It’s Alive (1974), along with its sequels It Lives Again (AKA It’s Alive 2; 1978) and It’s Alive III: Island of the Alive (1987), stand out in Cohen’s filmography as those when the elements of social commentary, horror genre standards, and – mostly the case of the third movie – some humor are held in near perfect mixture. Now, with Scream Factory’s release of the trilogy – via license from Warner Bros. – fans and newcomers alike can bask in the glory of, arguably, the director’s crowning achievement.
