It's Alive (1974), directed by Larry Cohen, Shout! Factory remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical stereo, commentary track, and English subtitles.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071675/

Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : Legendary low-budget auteur Larry Cohen's first horror hit isn't a particularly refined film, and it has its weaknesses (there are limits to how much you can keep the audience in the dark about what the monster looks like), and it drags a little in spots, but it's still well worth the cult classic label, with a gnarly concept, good performances, some decent gore, and some actual pathos here and there. Early 70s paranoia about the effects of contraception might seem quirky now (or maybe not , the way things are going), but the thalidomide scandal was still fresh in memory, and must have made for a potent brew mixed with the public opinion about contraceptives, which had just become universally available to all women in the US in 1972. This might make a good monster offspring triple feature with Cronenberg's The Brood and Henenlotter's Basket Case.

Frank and Lenore Davis are expecting their second child, after a period of Lenore taking contraceptive pills. However, something goes wrong during the delivery, the doctors and nurses are found clawed to death, and the baby is missing. The monstrous baby stalks Los Angeles, murdering several people, including a milkman in a hilarious sequence. Frank is fired from his job because of the unwanted media attention, and the pharmaceutical company that sells the contraceptive pills Lenore took before getting pregnant is eager to have the monster baby destroyed, since their medication might have been the cause of the mutations. It all comes to a head in a stormdrain by the LA river, and ends in tragedy.

This is a decent enough remaster, not incredibly sharp or detailed, but color and contrast are decent, grain is at a fair level, and it's clean. Stereo track is fine, commentary with Cohen as usual well worth listening to.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk creature horror” for more weird living things, “hevk sci-fi” for more misfits of science, or “hevk 70s” for more from the decade of grotty indie horror and ambivalence about women's rights.
