It's Alive (1974)
Horror/Drama Rated PG
Plot
It's feeding time! This enjoyable schlock centers on an all-American middle-aged couple, the Davies who want to have one more child in addition to their 11-year-old son. When the big day arrives, however, the Davies' baby turns out to be a mutated monster that kills when it's scared ... which is pretty much all the time. Think Rosemary's Baby but more graphically gruesome (and funny!).
Acting
The acting is fine, and what you would expect from a theatrically released horror movie. No one stands out as being either good or bad.
Gore
Theres plenty of blood shown, but we rarely see the scenes which cause the blood to be there, just the aftermath.
Sex/Nudity
Paragraph.
Final Thoughts
Much like I stated in the acting section, to me theres was just nothing in this movie that stood out. The story was just ok, and there was no great acting or gore to help it out, however had I seen this back in 1974 (long before i was born) that may be different, as there was not a whole lot of movie like this around then, where there are certainly a few out now.
