"What the @#$^ was that?!"

Fans of low budget, gory science fiction B-movies need not look any further for the next diamond in the rough than The Deadly Spawn.

It's your typical case of a meteorite from outer space crashing down to earth bringing with it an deadly creature from another world. In this case it' a large, three headed beast with only a mouth full of endless rows of sharp teeth on its face. After the creature quickly disposes of two campers, it takes up residence in a local family's basement, rapidly filling the immediate vicinity with it's deadly spawn. As the vicious, eel-like creatures feast on the rest of the family, a young precocious kid with a passion for horror movies proves to be the only chance at defeating the creature.

The emphasis here is undisputedly on the special effects, and they are in fact excellent. Th Dealy Spawn is loaded with flesh eating, decapitations, awesome looking creatures, a deadly spawn outbreak at a women's luncheon...Great, gory, CGI-free stuff that any old school horror/sci-fi fan will eat up. The fantastic music score for The Deadly Spawn is also a large part of what makes it so great. It's creepy horror movie music that while it is effective almost comes off as comical as it is very stereotypical of a movie of this nature.

All in all The Deadly Spawn is great campy fun filled with corny dialogue and over the top gore, and one of the best of it's kind I've seen in a long time. So get yourself into that B-movie mindset, sit back and enjoy for what it is.

A favorite of mine! Thanks Synapse films!

When I say my Dad rented every Horror flick under the sun and allowed me to watch them,(most of them), I mean it! Although too young to remember the title, I only had a few scenes from 'The Deadly Spawn' stuck in my head. There were only two. One is a woman's head flying out a window of a white two story house and the other, a scene were the little boy has to confront the alien and kill it while in the basement! Those rows of teeth the alien has is hard to forget! Heck, the alien itself is hard to forget haha. It wasn't until I was in my early twenties when I bought a book titled, 'Creature Features', by John Stanley, and fount out the title of this awesome b-horror! I had already had a fair amount of Horror flicks, but not having this one, drove me NUTS! I remember jumping with joy as soon as I came across the title in my book!!! At last I had figured out what my movie was! At that time it had not hit dvd yet so I had to turn to ebay for a hefty price for a vhs copy. Thank you Synapse Films for releasing this Horror gem on disk! A truly must own flick for fans of B-Horror! All I need is more Ted A. Bohus produced films such as 'The Regenerated Man' and 'Mind Killer'!!! Come on Synapse!...make it happen!

surprisingly gory and interesting

this is a cool little scifi/horror movie. i heard about this movie from the exploitation book Nightmare USA. The Deadly Spawn wasn't as epic as i hoped it might be, but it surely didn't disappoint me either.

some shots, special effects, and gushes of blood were downright inspired! a couple scenes came off flat and one dialog scene was a little blurry, plus i could tell in a couple spots where the production had been rushed. i heard that the vegetarian party was phenomenal and to me it seemed just OK. also, the ending didn't really thrill me. hence the 4 stars.

Good Gore!!

This movie is pretty campy, and overall plays out like a childhood fantasy, but it's pretty funny in a gross-out sort of way. And it makes with the red stuff big time, bro. Lots and lots of gore, slime, and guts. Probably ranks in the top 20 goriest films ever made. These slimy aliens that look like R-rated versions of the Little Shop of Horrors plant eat people and slither around. Overall it's pretty cool if you like the B movie sci fi horror. And synapse gives us a great DVD transfer with good extras and all that jazz.
