THE SUCKLING has everything you love: exploding heads, severed hands, a fully articulated beastie, major problems with major appliances, and spinning dildos. The monster effects are a feat, but the cinematography and script are just as strong. There are characters you love to hate and hate to love. This film is designed to offend. It's about abortions and contains sexual assault. But like the best exploitation films, THE SUCKLING is deceptively intelligent and dances nimbly around both sides of a charged issue. It's exploitation and horror at its finest. (Annie Choi) *Note: This film includes a brief scene of a non-consensual sexual act.* *DCP courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome and the American Genre Film Archive*
