The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
Posted this in the Announcements thread, but figured it deserved it's own thread.
From Elite's website: Two campers in the New Jersey woods have their outdoor fun interrupted by the arrival of a meteorite crashing nearby. They go to investigate the crater, but are suddenly attacked and devoured by alien parasites who have hitched a ride to Earth. After finishing off the campers, the hungry space monsters head for a nearby town, where they make their domain in the basement of an old house soon begin polishing off one hapless inhabitant after another. Four young teenagers, plus one pre-teen boy, try to find a way to stop the angry space monsters before they reproduce and literally eat humanity. Bonus Materials: Commentary, still gallery, casting footage, gag reel, theatrical trailer & TV spot, enhanced opening scene, television review footage and more! |

This is awesome! I've never seen it but have been meaning to for quite a while so I'm okay that I've waited so long now.

Very unexpected. I enjoyed the film as well, despite the fact that it is VERY low budget and could've probably been a stronger effort with a little more $$$.
I prefer Synapse's cover. |
re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
hideous cover and what a spoiler ;)

Unexpected is an understatement. Glad it's coming though.

I was not a fan of this film.

I still can't believe that this film played at a drive-in near me. I was born a decade too late.

re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
This is a fun little flick. I haven't seen it in a couple years and for the right price I'd pick it up.
Side note: The monster in TerrorVision always reminded me of The Deadly Spawn creature bred with a Critter. Love 80s creature design. |

Love this film, and am very glad it will be coming to Blu. However, I'm not expecting much picture quality improvememt over the excellent DVD, since this film was a very low budget effort shot entirely on 16 mm. So, unless it is VERY cheap, there simply won't be that much incentive for me to upgrade.

Hi. I'm the producer/owner of The Deadly Spawn. I moved the rights to Elite because Synapse was not interested in releasing it as a Blu-Ray. Don is a friend and we had a good run with it on DVD. I found a bunch more cool supp items and included them in this version. The quality is what's there. We shot on about 2 dozen different 16mm film stocks, not all top quality. Even with the modern technology it's hard to remove grain and scratches...unless you want to spend a small fortune. lol...eventually someone will make a $50 million dollar remake! |
re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
i hope it's really fucking hard to remove that grain...so hard that they don't even bother doing it.
|
re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
Yeah, I was a bit worried by that statement. We shall see...
|
re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
Some clarification:
Yes...as you said...“cleanup of dirt and scratches is nice, maybe even a light grain filtering”...that's exactly what's being done. Nothing too drastic. The tests I saw were nice. No, it's not soft. |
re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
Delayed until 2/7.
|
Re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
Looks like it was delayed again. Got a email from amazing asking if I wanted to keep my preorder or cancel.
|
Re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
.... or Not.
Just got a shipping confirmation. |
Re: The Deadly Spawn - 2/7/12
Me too.
