Spawn

Spawn (1997) is a dark superhero action film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Mark A.Z. Dippe adapted Todd McFarlane's comic book: elite black-ops soldier Al Simmons is killed by his own boss during a covert mission, arrives in purgatory, and cuts a deal with the devil — lead Hell's army in exchange for one more look at his wife Wanda.

Five years later he returns to Earth, barely recognisable beneath a symbiotic living armour. Wanda has moved on. His betrayer (Martin Sheen) is very much alive and still doing the devil's work. A grotesque demon clown named Violator (John Leguizamo) shadows Al's every move, appointed by Satan as his minder. Simmons tears up the contract. That does not make the problem go away.

McFarlane himself appears in a cameo; the soundtrack pulls from Metallica, Marilyn Manson and The Prodigy, setting the film firmly in its era. Ninety-three minutes of grim, pre-Marvel superhero cinema with Michael Jai White in the lead role. Stream Spawn (1997) in full online on iFILM.
