SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
ericxton people often forget what the point of a "monster movie" is .... um ...its a monster that kills !!!! and to expect more would be to disappoint ... and "trash" films ? ...this isn't anything like the trash films I've seen.. maybe im an idiot and don't know what the real definition of "trash" films are ..but to me this is a good old fashioned MONSTER MOVIE!! ILLEGALLY ABORTED FETUS FLUSHED DOWN TOILET TURNS INTO EVIL MONSTER BY TOXIC WASTE (i know your thinking "boy I've heard that story line about a million times, in every tom cruise ever made film") THEN TRAPS AND KILLS AN ENTIRE HOUSE OF HOOKERS AND THERE "CUSTOMERS" AND THEN RETURNS TO THE UTERUS IT CAME FROM !!!! .. "yeah OK story line sounds great ... but eric, great master of all things cheesy and b goodness, what about the effects?" well I've see people bash them ...? the baby in the sewer was great ..good job ..sure its a puppet ....but its a good looking puppet ...got a good creepy feel to it you know at times ... the grown up creature is awesome !!! sure its a guy in a suit ...but thats a cool @$$ suit ....lol....if you like MONSTER MOVIES then rent this and you'll be glad ...(4), vocalist GOD IN A MACHINE
robert reilly A 2?! Oh c'mon. It deserves at least a 6 for the baby effects alone, which are pretty good for such a low budget film. First of all disregard the box comments that seem to compare it to die hard or alien because its the furthest thing from that. Look at more as an above average Troma film, which is probably who should have released it in the first place. My quest to see the movie began at a flea market in Wallingford , CT where I saw a guy selling the suckling press kit with a badass "only could have been made in the 90's" T-shirt. It looked Like an all yellow local metal band shirt. I laughed and had a look and new I had to see the film. The press kit came with a small poster on which someone had written a note in marker on the back. It says" Mike, See you Friday aug. 23 midnight bleecker theatre if possible. If not there'll be bigger + better movies next. Pete." I don't know if the suckling was a CT made film, since the company who made it, JER Pictures has a Port Chester , NY address. Either way its pretty funny, or appropriate depending on your thoughts, that the poster hangs directly above my toilet. I say we need to bring on The Suckling 2: Keep on Suckling.
EyeAskance A filthy whorehouse with a backroom abortion clinic which was built directly upon a toxic waste dump is the charming setting for THE SUCKLING, one of the trashiest monster movies I have had the pleasure of viewing in ages. When a girl's crudely aborted baby is properly disposed of by flushing it down the toilet, it becomes exposed to toxic chemicals in the sewage system. The fetus then morphs into a rapidly-growing beast with enormous fangs, which returns to the brothel/clinic crazed with vengeance. Sealing everyone inside with a thick, webby goop, the monster-fetus proceeds to savagely massacre the resident hookers and their Johns. The beast's mother is among those trapped inside, and there's no telling what may result when they are finally reunited.There's a big ol' barrel of belly laughs to be had here...this tasteless little grade-Z wonder features some of the stodgiest special effects and acting ever captured on film. Check it out.5/10
leez34 A sick, messed-up piece of cinema. I could barely hand on till the end, which is revealed at the beginning of the movie. Too many horrible effects and too little acting. Don't watch it. It's not even in the "so bad it's funny" category.
