The Deadly Spawn is a 1983 horror movie directed by Douglas McKeown, and it stars Charles George Hildebrandt, Tom DeFranco, and Richard Lee Porter. The movie begins with a meteor crashing into Earth, and the resulting radiation causes a small suburban community to become infested with strange and deadly creatures. The story follows a group of teenagers who stumble upon the creatures while exploring the basement of an abandoned house. The creatures, dubbed "The Deadly Spawn," are terrifying and ravenous, and they begin to hunt down and kill anyone who crosses their path.

As the movie progresses, the teenagers try to survive the onslaught of the creatures and find a way to stop them. They must face their fears and work together in order to save themselves and their families from the deadly threat.

One of the most noteworthy elements of The Deadly Spawn is its use of practical effects. The creatures themselves are wonderfully grotesque and horrifying, with slimy skin and sharp teeth. The movie also features a lot of gore and violence, which will satisfy horror fans looking for something truly terrifying.

Despite its low budget and cheesy special effects, The Deadly Spawn has gained a cult following over the years. The movie's dark atmosphere and creepy tone make it an effective horror film, and the creature effects are still impressive even by today's standards.

Overall, The Deadly Spawn is a solid horror movie with plenty of scares and gore to satisfy genre fans. It's not a perfect film, but its low-budget charm and fun creature effects make it a cult classic that's well worth checking out.
