The movie The Suckling (1990) opens at Big Mama’s brothel where a girl named Lovey gives birth to a deformed mutant baby conceived by a radioactive client. After it brutally kills Lovey and a policeman, Big Mama and the brothel workers lock the monstrous baby in the basement. However, it quickly escapes and goes on a killing rampage.
The vicious creature decapitates girls and mutilates their bodies as it prowls the brothel.
