What happens

Contamination (also released as Alien Contamination, Toxic Spawn or Larvae) is a 1980 science-fiction horror film written and directed by Luigi Cozzi, and starring Ian McCulloch, Louise Marleau, and Marino Masé. The film is about an alien cyclops creature that uses human agents to place eggs all over Earth. The eggs release a gelatinous goo that causes people to explode when they come into physical contact with the substance. An Italian and West German co-production, the film premiered on August 2, 1980. It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, however, the film score by Goblin was praised.
