Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
PaJRJ When I used to go to the local Mom and Pop video store I would be confronted by cheap pieces of film disguised as entertainment such as this. One look at the cover tells you all you need to know. The correct reaction is "I don't want to see THIS movie!"Bingo. If you're like me, that is incomplete. I don't want to see this movie. I NEED to see this movie. I will do whatever it takes to buy this movie which I am now enjoying on my copy on VHS with the oversized case.A labor of love produced on a $30,000 To $50,000 budget backed up by a serious love of old time schlock cinema.Ted Bohus did graduate to some better budgets, such as Vampire Vixens from Venus which via friendship with Fred Olen Ray did include Michelle Bauer in the cast, but this work including nobody you ever heard of is one of the best cult movie classics you can get a hold of.As usual with reviews of this type of movie, do not expect high art. Just turn you brain off and enjoy the ride.
Stevieboy666 A meteorite lands in America bringing with it an alien lifeforce which proceeds to go a bloody killing spree. Mega low budget sci-fi/horror from 1983 which delivers buckets loads of blood and gore. The acting is quite reasonable, unusual for films of this budget. There is plenty of dark humour but also a few moments of fear, for example when young horror obsessed Charles (with whom I can easily identify) enters his home's cellar in the dark, only to find the creature down there. The special effects certainly are not of Rob Bottin standard but they are surprisingly gruesome and plentiful. Great, fun b-movie that can be enjoyed with repeated viewings and is proof of what can be achieved despite such a low budget.
hellholehorror 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.
HumanoidOfFlesh In some unidentified rural part of United States a meteorite strikes the ground one night.Two unlucky campers are killed by alien critters.The creatures then hide in the basement of the house,where they start to attack and gorily eat various family members and visitors."Return of the Aliens:The Deadly Spawn" is an enjoyable and gory sci-fi horror romp in the tradition of early Sam Raimi kinetic works.The characters are likable,but paper-thin and the gore flows freely.I was impressed by the monsters and the gore makeup in "The Deadly Spawn".Especially the baby alien spawn in the basement looked realistic.The film was actually made for under $20,000.21st Century released it in theaters as "The Deadly Spawn" and then re-released it with the "Return of the Aliens" title because "Alien" was a big commercial hit.Check out this gory piece of alien mayhem.8 out of 10.
