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.

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.
