Evil mute girl Elizabeth (a creepy portrayal by Nicola Diana) gets dumped by persons unknown at a children's home located in the British countryside. Elizabeth soon begins to terrorize the other residents of the place with her formidable demonic powers. Okay, so this micro-budget shot-on-video item was clearly shot by amateurs with more enthusiasm than ability, but fortunately director Alan Briggs does still manage to develop a genuinely eerie and unsettling atmosphere while also grounding the premise in a plausibly drab everyday reality. Moreover, the sluggish pacing and rather uneventful opening act is more than compensated for by a gloriously bonkers climax in which a bunch of kids go on a gruesome adult slaughtering rampage before none other than Jesus finally materializes to save the day (!). This film deserves extra praise for its take-no-prisoners attitude: Children are severely hurt, placed in all kinds of danger, bump off several grown ups, and a few kids are even killed themselves. A cool little fright flick.

On face value it would be easy to right this off as a pie of crap. And I wouldn't argue with those who think that. However it is essential to take on board that this was a very cheap shot on video movie using amateurs for a school project. Yes, the acting is bad. The music often drowns out the dialogue. The picture quality is poor at best. And the plot is just barmy (even Jesus gets in on the act!). But on the positive side the movie held my attention throughout, I wanted to know was going to happen next. Kind of a hypnotic effect. There's a fair smattering of gore, plus we get a few zombies thrown in for good measure. It's also a good glimpse of England back in 1983. A strange movie indeed, certainly not to your average horror fan's taste but for those who seek out strange films then it's worth a look.

A mute little girl named Elizabeth(Nicola Diana)comes to Sullivans Children's Home after being left by her mother.The girl seems weird and soon strange things begin to happen.She turns out to be an evil Satanic minion with telekinetic power who raises some hell at Children's Home.Her children of Satan begin to group behind her.It's time for Jesus Christ to show up and destroy the evil...Utterly cheesy and inept horror movie made by the students of Drama School.The editing is horrible,the plot makes no sense and the lighting is amateurish.The acting of children is gloriously wooden and the noisy climax is a laugh riot with Jesus saving the world from evil.If you like low-budget grade-Z trash give "Suffer,Little Children" a look.4 out of 10.

I remember this film as being the best and exciting summer of my life. I was only 11/12 years old and I thought I was so cool being in a film. We went to the Dorchester hotel to promote the film and then had all the problems in getting a certificate passed on it. I remember watching the film in a bar in New Malden and it actually looked liked my mouth never moved when I spoke my words. I played a girl at the home called Julie. I have only met one other person outside of my family who ever watched it and they actually liked it! I DO NOT OWN A COPY AND IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET HOLD OF ONE I WOULD BE GRATEFUL. The house has since been knocked down and new flats built on the site. I would love to know whatever happened to the other kids in it and also to Meg and Ginny.
