| User ReviewChris PTHE SUCKLING IS BRILLIANT! A young couple go to a whorehouse that doubles as an illegal abortion clinic. The young lady, who is very hesitant, gets drugged and her baby is removed and flushed down the toilet. What follows next is one of the sleaziest and funniest moments as the dead fetus falls through the sewers and stops right under an area where a random barrel of toxic waste is leaking through the drainage onto the baby, causing a hilarious transformation that may just rival the infamous one in An American Werewolf in London. Soon, a lady gets her head taken off and everyone is trying to leave but the baby has covered all of the exits with what I can only assume is afterbirth, or placenta hardened to the point where everyone is trapped inside with a dead fetus mutant that becomes increasingly larger and deadlier by the minute. This film was classic! An utter masterpiece in sleaze and bad filmmaking, which still managed to keep me pretty entertained. The monster and prosthetic effects weren't even that bad, though I would have never guessed this film was from 1990 (it looks more like 1980!). My only concerns lie within the deaths where there were an usually large amount due to guns, rather than creature violence. Also, the baby "detransformation" was probably the weakest effects of the whole movie, though they did manage to make me laugh my ass off. Honestly, I'm mad at myself for not having watched this film earlier in life. Truly a cult classic! |
| User ReviewTe RAmazingly bad, but so much fun to laugh at. |
| User ReviewDavid MBeyond fucked up to say the least! Its horribly twisted and the subject matter is squeamish at best. That being said the effects and the acting aren't bad for a no budget movie. Three stars for the last 30 minute run of creature effects. What a creepy weird lookin monster for a shoe string budget direct to video late 80's vhs treasure. |
| User ReviewPigeon KThe title says it all: This movie sucks. I wanted so-bad-it's-good, but this (like Dolly Dearest the day before) was mostly just bad. The Suckling has little spurts of fun (like when they throw a dummy face first into a toilet) and the ending where the main character is in the institution seemed like a really interesting concept. If this movie were more like the ending (where a woman has a killer fetus inside her and she goes around murdering people in an insane asylum) would be awesome. But The Suckling is like 2% fun, with 98% people sitting in a living room. It's boring and dreadful. The acting is awful (which is to be expected), but they seem to be taking this all too seriously. And that only contrasts with when they stop taking it seriously when the goofy moments happen. It has absurd moments, a neat-looking monster suit, stop-motion animation, puppets, and bad SFX (the gunshots that couldn't pierce wooden doors was hilarious), but the entire thing just felt off. There was no charm, and some parts were a bit too disturbing for something like this (like the fetus jumping back in...). It should be avoided except for the most curious (and you know who you are). |
