Opinions:
“Regardless of a minuscule funds and grainy 16mm images, the motion strikes rapidly and the particular results are stunning.

“A totally gratifying low funds monster fest, The Lethal Spawn is a type of love letters to the horror style like Illusion, The Evil Useless and Basket Case, albeit nowhere remotely as polished. Nonetheless, its sincerity and overwhelming need to please the viewers simply will get the movie previous a number of tough spots, and the restricted funds had been properly dumped virtually completely into the consequences funds.” Mondo Digital
“The humor doesn’t come within the type of canned one-liners or slapstick, however in simply the absurdity and grotesqueness of what unfolds. It’s not an overtly comedic film, however when the film did get me laughing, it was supposed. The particular results are the perfect half, although. The creature design is incredible — very unique and very memorable.” DVD Discuss
