Poor Bastards of Cinema:12 Rounds/The Deadly Spawn

Today I want to cover a pair of guys whose punishment is doled out in different ways for the same so-called crime.
12 Rounds
The plot of the film involves an odd revenge scheme by a crazed terrorist man. Basically, while he was fleeing, his girlfriend was killed and he blamed the cop for pursuing him. It's sort of like suing the curb for damaging your hood. Anyhow, the man has planned a very elaborate way to get revenge.

The first round of the titular revenge scheme involves blowing up the man's (WWE wrestler John Cena) house. This is bad enough, but there was a plumber left inside. His only offense: giving the cop advice for fixing his life. That bastard!
The Deadly Spawn
In this odd monster movie, a pod full of aliens has landed in a nice neighborhood and begins to wreak havoc. Early on, they hide out in one of the basements. Dun dun dun!
*
An early victim of the monsters is an electrician, who was called in earlier to fix a problem. The poor guy does not even get a single line of dialogue or a name! He just becomes a big pile of gore and viscera. At least give the guy a name!

Up next, a priest learns the lesson about being a bit player in a kung-fu film. Stay tuned...
