User Reviews:
As Kim Newman noted in his seminal book [i]Nightmare Movies[/i], this one really is a chore to sit through and resides at the very bottom of the early eighties straight-to-video barrel. I managed to sit through it once, and I'm still amazed that I somehow kept myself from dozing off. Shot entirely on video by the staff and pupils of a drama school in New Malden, Surrey, [i]Suffer Little Children[/i] managed to get itself a full video release courtesy of a fly-by-night company called Films Galore (whose only release this was), and I can only assume the majority of people who borrowed the thing from their local video library got fed up after about twenty minutes and dusted off their old pirate copy of [i]Straw Dogs[/i] instead. The only real claim to fame the whole sorry mess is able to stake comes during the final scene, a heady (if still nonsensical and clod-hoppingly inept) combination of blasphemy and the censor-baiting taboo of innocent kiddies involved in the act of murder. Running at a skimpy seventy-three minutes and even more technically inept than the average Andy Milligan flick, [i]Suffer Little Children[/i] requires a ton of patience to sit through and a masochistic interest in the arse end of British exploitation. The end credits (generated on a home computer) thank the parents for 'putting up with it', before generously listing the films that 'inspired' them ([i]Carrie, Halloween, Mad Max[/i] and [i]Psycho[/i]).
