It Lives Again (also known as It's Alive II) is a 1978 American horror film written and directed by Larry Cohen. It is the sequel to the 1974 film It's Alive. The film stars Frederic Forrest, Kathleen Lloyd, John P. Ryan, John Marley, Andrew Duggan and Eddie Constantine. The film was released by Warner Bros. on May 10, 1978.

This film continues with Frank Davis (John P. Ryan), still reeling from the death of his child and the part he played in it, seeing his chance to atone by assisting other would-be parents of mutant children. He tries to warn soon-to-be parents Jody (Kathleen Lloyd) and Eugene Scott (Frederic Forrest) of the vast and dangerous conspiracy to murder their baby and the other unborn mutant children who are being born around the country. They are convinced when they are met by Malory (John Marley) and a strong force of police officers at the hospital as Jody is about to go into labour. She is rescued by Frank from the maternity ward before she goes into labour. The baby is delivered in a truck specially constructed for this specific purpose. They manage to elude the people going after them. But in the end, through a homing device placed in Jody's purse by her mother, Mallory and his people manage to track Jody to the place in Los Angeles where her baby is taken. Thus begins the movie's plot of how her baby is hunted and finally killed.
