Theyboth carry the body horror mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Faculty, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Deadly Spawn is
Moonlit pine needles. A hissing mass oozes from a cracked meteorite, splitting open in the damp soil. Cassette tape abandoned near a gutted dog, a flashlight sweeps the shed where something wet shifts on the ceiling. This is what John Carpenter would toss off before breakfast, if he lived on ramen and gore.
