It Lives Again (also known as It's Alive II) is a 1978 American science fiction horror film written, produced and directed by Larry Cohen.

Frank Davis, still reeling from the death of his child and the part he played in it, sees his chance to atone by assisting other would-be parents of mutant children.

He tries to warn soon-to-be parents Jody and Eugene Scott of the conspiracy to murder their baby and the other unborn mutant children who are being born around the country.

"[2] A contemporary review published in Variety reads: "Though this is all so much silliness, Cohen effectively uses a good cast topped by Frederic Forrest and Kathleen Lloyd to build up suspense for the growling, slashing attacks by the terrible tykes.

"[4] A review published by TV Guide gave the film 3 stars out of 5, reading: "Once again Cohen uses his outrageous premise to explore with insight the fabric of American family life, power structures, and social mores--addressing such topics as corporate abuse of the public trust, abortion, and government omnipotence.
