Instead of a trilogy, this film series is a triplet

If it were to turn out Michael Moriarty was a grown-up baby mutant under heavy prosthetics so he could pursue his dream of being an actor, I think I'd believe it.

Ah, the franchise entered the 80s, and I’m all for it.

Loving the resurge of Lloyd.

Larry Cohen made so many great flicks. Michael Moriarty is so awesome, he always brings something extra to a roll.

Man, Ben Stone had some wacky adventures before he became a New York ADA! 9:12 Ah, Dinosaur Island! An episode now old enough to become a callback reference!

Glad to see Lloyd.

I can’t believe that Phil from Child’s Play 2 is in It’s Alive III! How’s it hanging Phil? Lmfao 😂

Whether he's playing Dad to mutant babies, or kicking ass in the courtroom as Ben Stone, Michael Moriarty brings it to every role he lands. Love his work!

So happy to have seen a new episode of 'What If It Exploded' ❤😊

I just had the thought of Brad doing episodes from home and occasionally attending to the baby in costume, and Jack thinking he has two dads. Somehow, that could be the basis of a Stepfather-style horror film.

Its Alive III......Even More Alive!

The side effect of Garfunkel hair killed me

So nice to see Lloyd again! We miss ya bud.

I saw this film in late 90s, early 2000s on TNT I think. Its a very interesting concept, just like The Return To Salem's Lot with a town of vampires and their thralls. There were tons of interesting concepts even in low budget films decades ago. Now we get bad videos made on smartphones.

I wondered what films were on that Dead Pool reel that the captain squirms at while watching on TV! 😀

More Kittens please Brad. ❤️🐈🐈😉❤️

These movies are so silly, I love them. Snob reppin' the good sh!t.

Michael Moriarty is one of my top 5 character actors.

All right this actor who was also in the stuff is now my new favorite character actor that's why they call me Moe because with that actor I always want some Mo

The cops falling off the building scream needs to replace the Wilhelm scream.

Always good to have a Lloyd cameo. May his 10th life be full of treats.

RIP James Patrick Dixon

I still own this one on vhs 💪

God bless you, Brad, for reviewing these movies!

I showed this movie to my husband, he wasn't really into it . However the chopper explosion made him cackle

My favorite of all 3. Of course with me everyone says the 3rd is always my favorite. Subconscious maybe?

Its alive! Its alive! 🌩️🌩️🌩️

thank you so much! i've been looking for this film for decades. i saw it long ago on HBO.

Finally came around to watching this one. Definitely looks like a step up from the first sequel, and a lot more entertaining. Also gotta dig those stop motion effects in the courtroom scene and the adult mutants. Will definitely give this trilogy a look.

5:28 That's stock footage of the amusement park from "The Incredibly Strange Creatures...." Notice the "Cyclone Racer"? The MST3K joke was Servo singing "Go cyclone racer...go!" to the Speed Racer theme..

Amazing review video of its alive 3 cinema snob,fantastic job.

Semi-mad that you would mention this film and "Master and Commander."

There was a funeral home around the corner from my house, and we'd open the door where they kept the bodies and yell ITS ALIVE! to get the morticians yo chase us 😅

There is a double ferris wheel like that in OC MD, and i iswd to love getting on that thing. There is also one that is i think 100 or so feet high. I cant remember exactly, but its hogher than the 2x, qnd its cool day or night, you can see so much in different contexts both ways

At least you see more of the babies in that one

From this to The Stuff, Michael Moriarty is truly a verstile B movie actor...

Like the sands through the hourglass, these are the Days of Our Lives...McDonald Carey (Horton Patriarch) is Judge Milton Watson here. Awwww

A its alive movie without chain smoking Frank isnt the same. Pretty decent baby effects with the puppet.

What a great trilogy to recuperate to. Good times.

Gerrit Graham! I'm all in!!

Micheal moriarty is uniquely hilarious in this

8:43 A Character Actor From a MASH Episode.

9:19 Damn it distant ancestor of Private Spunkmeyer, can't anyone in your family guard an air transport from monster attack!

Bro, that seriously looks like Jurassic Park on the approach. You could have put the music over it and I would 100% have believed it. Were they filmed at the same island?

Attack of the BabyMen! Great review Snob. But .. how did we get a new baby? So many questions require a sequel!

When are we going to see little Jack Fulci Golan Globus Kirby Caligula Jones on screen?

hundred bucks? was it a half hour session? dang?

Anyone remember how they tried to make the Quiznos baby Bob into a TV series with Adam Arkin and Elliot Gould?

What? No its alive 4 in space? I feel like the film franchise missed an opportunity. 😂

I'm so confused right now. I remember watching a film on TV sometime in the early 90's, in it there was a cannibal baby, I thought this series must have been it when you started reviewing it but the scene I most remember didn't happen.... until this film.... only it doesn't match my memory. I clearly remember the mother giving birth in a taxi/car, but I'd swear it was a black one [like taxis in the UK.] I also remember it being at night, maybe in the middle of nowhere, and I think the baby killed the mother/parents? [It may or may not have been raining.] I certainly don't remember the dad shooting at it, and all 3 surviving, only to have a trial and then switch to an island. Anyone else remember it this way? Was there another killer baby movie/series where they were cannibals instead of mutants?

Three movies in and NO ONE even thinks to blame, oh, I dunno.... THE FREAKIN COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE DRUGS THAT MUTATES THE BABIES?!

Hi Cinema Snob because you have a baby, You should review “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968)

See you in the morning. UH. Idk why i found that UH so funny

660 like woop woop shout out Canada 🇨🇦

Has he covered return to Salem's lot yet?

Did you know China made last Year a Remake of Sharktopus? This is not a Joke!

Michael Moriarty is to Larry Cohen what Johnny Depp is to Tim Burton

12:41 is it just me, or does that look like the cliffs of insanity from the Princess Bride?

Hey Snob, did you cover Return to Salems Lot, or was that Brandon Tenold or GoodBad Flicks? I know somebody did, but i cant remember who

Ben Treamor is on that island.

2:30 How much does someone suck at guns that they get taken out by a mutant newborn?! 8:33 But they should have been sued. SO FUCKING SUED! 10:48 I swear I saw something like that in The Venture Brothers. Brad, I'm going through your old episodes on your site, but there's nothing from before 2009. What happened to those episodes?

My favorite is still the first one, but I'll give Island of the Alive second place dispite its dumb title. The remake is on the bottom.

Something tells me the remake won't be anywhere near as fun as this movie. Modern Hollywood just can't do the mutant killer baby genre right.

So, do you mean sloths the animal, or Sloths from the Goonies?

Michael Moriarity makes this movie. This movie is unwatchable without his pure weirdness.

Dude, playing the Quiznos commercial was just wrong. They are pretty much defunct now, and they were the best sub chain aside from Jersey Mikes. Subway is garbage and rip off the other chains ideas and kill them off. Hope their bullshit "we slice our meat" doesn't dupe the morons like toasting the subs did. RIP Quiznos. You are missed.

Moriarity -the movie killer.

I'm pro mutant.

Strong contender for Larry Cohen's worst movie.

How many of these '80s gems was Michal Moriarty in?!
