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!".
The film received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, however, the film score by Goblin was praised.
