The Deadly Spawn

The Deadly Spawn (1983) is a no-budget creature feature you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Douglas McKeown. A meteorite drops into the New Jersey woods, and what crawls out of it is a slimy alien horror with a mouth full of jagged teeth. It settles into a quiet suburban basement and starts breeding.

By morning the cellar is alive with hungry offspring, while two families upstairs have no idea what's feeding below them. The only defense is a handful of teenagers armed with whatever they can grab from the garage. Made by a crew of hobbyists for almost nothing, the film became a cult favorite among fans of hand-built practical effects — the monster was sculpted by hand and the gore poured by the bucket. For anyone who loves grimy 1980s splatter, it's essential viewing. Stream The Deadly Spawn (1983) online on iFILM.
