Goriest B-movie EVER!! - The Deadly Spawn (1983) Discussion

[–] RasGold 19 years ago

Naw ... Have you seen any H.G.Lewis films?
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507267/
Or, Violent Sh!t I, II or III?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094271/

How about Peter (Lord of the Rings) Jackson's Brain Dead a.k.a. Dead Alive (The GORIEST 'B' Movie EVER!!)??
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/

While I found "Return of the Aliens' Deadly Spawn" to be gore filled (and one scene in particular was quite original and astounding), MANY other 'B' films are FAR gorier!

Braindead isn't a b-movie. Check out Jackson's Bad Taste, also pretty gory and low budget b-movie stuff

I'm marking my spot here 'cause I remember watching this back in '88 and thinking how awesome it was. A few days ago, by some weird brain synapse thing, I recalled this movie and here I am now. I wonder if I can get the dvd...

This film's gleefully graphic and excessive over-the-top gore greatly enhanced its overall entertainment value. I especially dug the hilarious sequence with the baby aliens attacking a bunch of old ladies.

Carpenter's "The Thing" is not a b-movie.

Now, I'd comfortablly say that I am a master of obscure movies. Whereas "The Deadly Spawn" is not the goriest b-movie I've ever seen, it is certainly in the top five. Mostly because alot of the gore is so over-the-top that it borderlines a comedic b sense, much like "Braindead" does.

Whats the Goriest B-Movie You Seen slimer-3 ????

reply

[–] slimer-3 17 years ago

Hard to say on alot of accounts.
First you really have to think about "b-movie" criteria. Do you mean just a low budget movie, or one in the same general budget-range as this one? Also you have to consider what "gory" is... I mean, what? Realistically gory? Comedy-gore? Or just sheer nastiness... lots of factors there.
But, as far as b-movies as a whole are concerned, this one was VERY gracious with the gore, and that, my friends, I approve.

Right, as far as production value, this is much more a "B-movie" than Dead Alive or Evil Dead. And it is pretty gory, that scene with the mother's head is brilliant.

It's up there, like slimer-3 said, it really depends on your criteria.
