Larry Cohen's underappreciated sequels to his breakout hit, It's Alive!, are paired up on this special "double bill" DVD. It Lives Again and It's Alive III: Island of the Alive are both transferred to disc in letterboxed format at the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1 (they've also been enhanced for anamorphic play on 16 x 9 monitors). The audio for both films has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono; along with the original English-language audio, dubbed soundtracks in French are included, as well as optional subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. Director and screenwriter Larry Cohen provides a commentary for each film, and their original theatrical trailers also appear. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
