It's Alive

HorrorSci-Fi91 min

A Los Angeles couple expects an ordinary birth and instead watches the delivery room erupt in bloodshed. Their newborn is a deformed, murderous mutant that escapes into the city, leaving a trail of panic as police hunt for the infant and the public tries to make sense of what it is. As the attacks continue, the father is pulled between horror at what his child has done and a growing, desperate instinct to protect it from the manhunt closing in. John P. Ryan and Sharon Farrell are at the center of a story that turns parental fear into a chase through hospitals, streets, and storm drains.
