Back in 1974, expecting parents everywhere were terrified by Larry Cohen's IT'S ALIVE, which presented a mutant killer baby terrorizing L.A. It was followed by triplets in IT LIVES AGAIN (1978) and very silly looking adults in IT'S ALIVE III: ISLAND OF THE ALIVE (1987).

The original film is probably best remembered for its fantastic advertising campaign, which included this ROSEMARY'S BABY-like poster and this trailer. But it was the TV spot that really made this little bastard a monster hit.

Now comes the inevitable remake, co-written by Cohen and Paul Sopocy, directed by Josef Rusnak, and starring Bijou Phillips. This trailer shows what changes have been made to the story; Baby goes home and must look somewhat normal, and Mommy is even more of an apologist/accomplice for her murderous offspring than in the original.

Of course, the greatest "It's Alive" was way back in 1931.
