The It's Alive trilogy continues with the sequel It's Alive 2: It Lives Again and in my slime covered opinion, not much really changes between this one and the original. It's basically as straight forward as it can get in terms of a continuing story, and it really just jump starts itself right after the first one ends. Frank Davis travels to Seattle after he finds out that a few more of the mutant infants have been born to try to warn the next couple about what is going on. He's at their house during some kind of party or get together or something and no one knows who he is or how he got there. After all of the guests leave he basically just kind of invades the couples lives and tries to inform them about the experiences he had with his baby previously. There's a bunch of shit with scientists and doctors wanting to test the babies and experiment on them, the couple doesn't want to kill their own child but they have to make the choice to do so. Oh, Frank dies as well. So there's that. The sequel is kind of a mess and a tad on the grindy side of horror cinema, but if you at least somewhat enjoyed the original, there's a little juice to squeeze from It's Alive 2.
Tuscon-I hope I can move to Arizona soon.
Mr. Davis isn't queer. You haven't seen the first film, have you?
Don't be a dick, Gene. Frank is trying to help.
Calling your baby "it" sounds like somethings wrong to me.
I can't sleep normally either.
Who would trust you-you're a damn doctor.
Sexual activity-would you really want these things making more of themselves?
Enter The Dragon? Hell yeah!
Their maximum potential is to be dead.
How are you going to sleep in that bed? It's so damn small.
Man these babies are freaking ugly.
In the grand scheme of things zits and zombies, It's Alive 2: It Lives Again is a very middle of the road, okay, mediocre sequel that really only warrants a single view just to continue the trilogy. There are a few kills with the mutant babies, but they are weaker than what was offered in the original and the plot really doesn't have much more weight to it than just Frank going to a different city to warn other people about the mutated infants. The main characters really have nothing note worthy behind them to make them memorable, and they have to make some serious choices here and there that would have made other relationships fall apart. But you have to do what you have to do sometimes. For now, just stick with the original. The third times' a charm.
