Just as crazy as the description sounds. Worth checking out the Best of the Worst episode featuring this movie for some laughs.
- TM35mm MemberTobias M.Verified BuyerYesterdayRated 3 out of 5 starsDisturbing premise and an interesting cult Horror curiosity…
Definitely not a great movie, but it has a genuinely interesting premise that makes it worth checking out for fans of bizarre '90s horror. The opening, with the mutated fetus lurking in the sewers, is surprisingly disturbing and creates a wonderfully grimy atmosphere. Unfortunately, once the creature turns into a more standard monster, the film loses much of that initial impact, and the rest of the runtime struggles to maintain the same level of interest.
Still, it's a fascinating little oddity for exploitation horror fans, and Vinegar Syndrome's release includes an interesting interview with the director that adds some extra value. Even if the movie itself doesn't quite live up to its premise, it's great to see these obscure horror titles getting releases like this!

One of my favorite trashy (as in story/plot) films to share with unsuspecting friends. The creature effects are stunning (half the budget went into it the creature, and it shows!) for such a low-budget flick. Snag this one without regret!
- PK35mm MemberPaul K.Verified Buyer6 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsI love the vibe of this film, I had never seen it before.
This Blu-ray is great quality! The film was funny, cool monster. The film has an excellent feel, campy and unique. I highly recommend it if you haven’t already seen it.
- AT70mm MemberAntonio T.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 4 out of 5 starsOne Seriously Nasty Little Movie
The Suckling is cheap, grimy, tasteless, and completely ridiculous, which is pretty much its appeal. The creature itself is wonderfully grotesque, and I love just how committed the film is to being as unpleasant and weird as possible. There is a real homemade quality to everything, from the effects to the performances, but somehow that only adds to its personality. It is certainly not a film I could recommend to everyone, but as a piece of late 80s low-budget horror madness, I had a lot of fun with it. Exactly the kind of obscurity that belongs in the VS catalog.
