A mute orphan and a pop star's homecoming spark supernatural chaos at Sullivan’s Children’s Home.
SUFFER, LITTLE CHILDREN
A mute child arrives at a children's home and starts terrorizing the other children with her demonic powers.
Proof that sometimes the scariest thing in a children's home isn't the vegetables.
This is what happens when you mix a mute child with a taste for the demonic and a children's home just begging for trouble. Alan Briggs doesn't pull punches with the low-budget mayhem—accidents, supernatural flair, and a visiting pop idol give this British oddity its cult credentials.
