EVIL SPAWN

Director: Fred Olen Ray, Kenneth J. Hall, Ted Newsom Run Time: 70 min. Release Year: 1987

Starring: Bobbie Bresee, Dawn Wildsmith, Drew Godderis, Fox Harris, John Terrence

If SUNSET BOULEVARD and STREET TRASH had a baby, it would feel a lot like EVIL SPAWN. Actor Lynn Roman (Bobbie Bresee, GHOULIES) is fed up with Hollywood. Continually rejected for roles because of her age, Lynn does what any self-respecting thespian would do in this situation—she injects an extraterrestrial drug and transforms into a revengeful insect-o-zoid! A passion project for Bresee that was shot in her real-life home, EVIL SPAWN is filled with wild practical effects, campy hysterics, and over-the-top sleaze. But it’s also a fascinating statement on the horrors of ageism and the dark corners of Hollywood . . . this includes a scene where a mutant rat eats a man’s face.
