The exclusive limited collector's edition includes 2 Blu-rays, a soundtrack CD, a collectible booklet, and a ton of extras.

Frank Zito (a career performance by writer/executive producer Joe Spinell of Rocky and The Godfather fame) is a deeply disturbed man, haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro of The Spy Who Loved Me), yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster.

As a fiend for cheesy, obscure B-movies of yesteryear, Vinegar Syndrome is the king purveyor. The company does not deal exclusively in so-bad-they're-good movies, as they have several bona fide cult classics under their label, but many of their titles fall firmly into the bonkers category - and I mean that in the best way possible. One of Vinegar Syndrome's latest releases, the 1990 direct-to-video oddity The Suckling, is the apotheosis of such a film.

Writer-director Francis Teri - this, tragically, being his only movie - is aware of how ridiculous The Suckling is. If the cheeky title isn't evidence enough (and its alternate title - Sewage Baby - is perhaps even more telling), the cartoony sound effects that accompany an early sex scene surely is. Later, a bloody abortion hanger is used to hang a doctor's lab coat. Did I mention the entire film takes place at a seedy brothel/abortion clinic? Talk about a one-stop shop for all your sex needs.
