It's Alive Trilogy (1974-1987)

I'm very happy to see these released, although I'd only buythem if the music scores are isolated on an audio track. Scream usually doesn't do that, but if Cohen is directly involved, it's an outside possibility.

Only seen the first one... and it is not a good movie. Some fun schlock but not sure if it warrants a purchase for me. Will depend on if it gets a good sale down the road

Plus the score for the first film is by the legendary Herr Herrmann!

The first two films are fantastic IMO, these are the two movies that got me into John P. Ryan. The third one is not that good IMO, not that scary and more on the humorous side. The hospital scenes in the beginning of part 2 were shot at St Josephs Hospital in Tucson Arizona, I used to live in an apartment complex right across the street (not in '78 of course). I hope there's some really good extras with this set. Really looking forward to this!

Ya, the third one went straight to video, and was one of two films Cohen did for Warner in 1987, with A Return to Salem's Lot, also straight to video and featuring Michael Moriarty, and played more for laughs. I like them all, though, but 1 and 2 are far superior to 3. I'm beyond thrilled by this news.
