Trivia
The opening credits for the film were done using director Larry Cohen's own swimming pool.

Goofs
The man who gives Jody Scott the instructions for the pick-up tells her to go to a theater and then go out 15 minutes after the beginning of a film. When she goes out, it can be seen that the film (Enter the Dragon (1973)) is running almost at its final sequence.

Quotes
Frank Davis: Why are you trying so hard to do your job?
Mr. Mallory: I have a high regard for the human race. I want to see that it sticks around a little while longer.

Connections
Edited from It's Alive (1974)

Soundtracks
Dreaming
by Billy Kinsley
Performed by Liverpool Express (as The Liverpool Express)

Frank Davis (John P. Ryan) is still struggling with his child's death in the first movie. He tries to warn Jody (Kathleen Lloyd) and Eugene Scott (Frederic Forrest) against Mallory (John Marley). She's pregnant with another mutant baby.

This is the sequel to It's Alive (1974). This franchise is stuck between serious horror and campy B-movie. It's both. For the serious horror, this movie needs a better-looking baby. The special effects are not good enough. It's pretty bad. The franchise remains stuck in campy B-movie territory. I can imagine it going better, but this poor sequel is not unexpected.
