THE SUCKLING (1990)
"All these guys want to do these days is shoot their load in your face. I guess everybody's got their problems."
So a fetus gets ripped out of its mom at a combination whorehouse/cheap-shit abortion clinic using the classic coat-hanger method. From there it gets flushed down a toilet. Unlikely(or maybe luckily I guess if you're the fetus) someone has dumped a barrel of toxic waste down that particular sewer causing our poor little fetus to very rapidly grow into a vengeance seeking toothy monster that can somehow travel through tiny pipes. In case you haven't guessed it this is one of those Troma-inspired goofy-ass movies a la THE TOXIC AVENGER or CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH. But since it wasn't actually made by Troma studios it's actually pretty entertaining and never devolves into the total retardation levels of their later works. One negative aspect, of this film, besides the seemingly inevitable terrible acting, is the soundtrack which is reminiscent of John Carpenter suffering a stroke at his piano. The monster suit and the gore fx are definitely highlights though they both could have been filmed a bit better. If you forgive the clearly low-budget this one makes for an entertaining watch. Also I think there might be an anti-abortion message in there but I doubt anyone watching this will take away anything very serious from it. AKA SEWAGE BABY
