Isolation is a 2005 Irish Sci-Fi Horror film written and directed by Billy O'Brien and produced by Film4 and Lionsgate.The story revolves around a failing dairy farm run by Dan Reilly (John Lynch), who's allowed a government firm to conduct genetic experiments on his cattle. Meanwhile, a couple of young Traveller runaways, Jamie (Sean Harris) and Mary (Ruth Negga), are found hiding away on the farm, and Dan insists they leave by morning.That night, however, one of Dan's cows gives birth to a calf, with Jamie's aid. A calf with fangs. Upon terminating and dissecting the malformed newborn, they soon discover that the calf was itself pregnant, with even more mutated chest bursters...

Explosive Breeder: The creature is an unwanted by-product of an experiment to produce more fertile cattle: one that worked a little to well as the calves themselves were born already pregnant with the mutant cow spawn.

comment
Body Horror: The mutant cow is barely even recognizable as a cow at all, save for its head resembling a deformed calf skull. Most of its body is a jumbled exoskeletal mess and it appears to walk on its external ribs like some kind of bovine centipede.

comment
Nothing Is Scarier: The cow spawn is never shown in full, and with its confusing anatomy, it's difficult to discern what it even looks like save for some behind-the-scenes photos of the adult cow spawn puppet.

Xenomorph Xerox: With chest-bursting parasitic offspring, a tendency to hide in narrow spaces, and an exoskeletal appearance, the cow spawn certainly fit the bill.
