Contamination (a.k.a. Alien Contamination, Toxic Spawn or Larvae) is a 1980 science fiction-horror film directed by Luigi Cozzi, produced by Claudio Mancini and Karl Spiehs, 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. The tagline on the Italian one-sheet ("...e ora tocca a voi!") translates as "...and now it's your turn!".

Plot

A large, seemingly abandoned ship drifts into New York Harbor. The ship is discovered to be carrying large containers of coffee, hidden inside there are a series of football-sized green eggs. The crew sent in to explore the ghost ship finds the mutilated remains of the crew gathered in one place, and they soon discover the reason why: when disturbed, the green eggs explode, spraying a viscous liquid over everything. The liquid is toxic to living creatures and causes the body to explode immediately.
