These two movies are so weird and obscure, I just had to post a topic about them.
THE SUCKLING-This is a very cheap and cheesy horror movie from the 70's about an unborn fetus that ends up in a sewer. The toxic wastes in the sewer mutate the fetus into a ravenous monster. The creature then stalks a group of people at the very abortion clinic in which it was disposed of. The creature design is actually pretty freakin' cool. Maybe the best looking monster that predates Alien. The acting is horrible, the blood is bright orange, and what's so insane about this movie is that before the film begins, some text is scrolled across the screen TCM-style. It states that The Suckling is based on a true story! Can you believe that?!
FUNNYMAN-I think this was filmed in the 60's. Horror legend, Christopher Lee, stars in this odd British, Leprechaun-esque film about an evil jester that stalks people at a huge, illustrious mansion. That's all I can tell you about the plot. Nothing else makes a lick of sense. The origin of the jester is not really explained. He just pops up out of the ground and starts killing people. It's probably the most warped horror movie I've ever seen. The dialogue is absolutely atrocious and laughable. Everything about Funnyman is either weird, stupid, or a combination of both. Overall, it's extremely entertaining and hilarious. Rent it with a friend and butcher the fuck out of it.
