IrateTyrant C Great practical effects, good story dialogue, okay b acting, mediocre camera work, horrible set design I tracked this down after watching the mediocre Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor, which I had seen billed as its sequel. However, there's also a Don Dohler series called The Alien Factor which is completely unrelated. Overall, I thought this was a pretty well executed flick. The acting is only slightly below par, and the dialogue is pretty interesting even though it all leads nowhere special. The idea of a youngster who obsesses over horror movies and then becomes immune to the actual horrors of his real life is a trope which is used plenty since the days of this 80s sci-fi gore fest. The practical effects in this were really pretty well done, but a lot of the sets were not well thought out at all. The lighting and costume designs were pre-90s mastery and are often confusingly bad. I thought it was pretty interesting and way more competent for its time than anything by Don Dohler, but still campy enough to be considered a b-movie. I'd recommend for anyone looking for some good gore with practical effects. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Billy J From a time when horror movies were actually very good. Today's Hollywood horror films are actually so bad they are too cringeworthy to even sit through 5 minutes of. Some of the best people in FX were very talented around this time frame also. 'The Deadly Spawn' is one gem from this time period. It's actually a cult classic. No spoilers from me. The whole budget on this film was put into the special effects or FX for short. While you don't have the biggest actors here the cast did an excellent job with the material. CGI didn't exist back then, Amen to that which what you do get is more realism with the creature, not a cartoon joke. If you are a true horror or scifi horror fan don't pass this one up. You're not a true horror fan if you didn't see this, that or you didn't like it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review justin t This is a no budget film and you can tell. But imaginative direction pulled this pile of crap out of the fire and onto my screen. I would say that this was worth watching for its utter silliness, it was like a tacky version of Slither (2006), you know, alien invasion, worms, silliness. Gory alien invasion entertainment with insane ending. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Joel C Though the characters and dialogue are weak, this film is worth the watch for the creature and gore FX. The queen creature design itself looks fantastic with the giant rows of crooked teeth. The strongest character in the film is the kid and he literally says a couple of lines but the other characters make good victims. The old ladies tea party scene where they get attacked reminds is pretty funny. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/21 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite horror movie. Lots of action and gore with the creepiest monsters I have ever seen and a fantastic movie ending. A must see.
