The Deadly Spawn

“They came to Earth to feed on human flesh!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
An alien creature makes itself comfortable in a suburban basement and starts eating through the household's plans. The human performances are rough, but the toothy practical monster is a wonderfully ambitious creation that earns its place at any serious rubber-creature gathering.
