SPFX guru John Dods managed to pull off an incredibly complicated and FX-intensive film that had a budget of approx. 25K. Let that sink in.
Top notch science fiction - horror. Snag a few copies of Don Dohler's great CINEMAGIC magazine featuring John Dods' work on the film to fully appreciate the artistry of THE DEADLY SPAWN.

From arthouse to outhouse with this stinker. The problem with pretentious filmmakers is that, in their elitist mannerisms they don't realize just how phony their films are. Never-mind the hair-brained plot, the fact that all of the characters speak with the same basic inflection makes it a candidate for a creepy Body Snatchers kind of film, but alas, it's not. Just cringy and tedious.
Many of Crichton's work adapted to film like Westworld (the original movie), Jurassic Park, are very good, but The Andromeda Strain takes the cake.
This is real science fiction, folks, not some idiotic script about people flying in space with no explanation and talking about "how many parsecs it takes."
It's totally plausible, based in science fact, and absolutely riveting.
