After witnessing a ventriloquist's show with a seemingly-magical puppet, a reporter and his girlfriend get close to the performer but learn the deadly secret of his controlling the puppet and his deadly obsession with her.
A pretty inciting British killer doll film, though this is actually a bit more flawed than expected. Since the majority of the film revolves around the mystery of who the doll is and why he's able to be reanimated makes the film seem to drag to a crawl in the middle segments once the initial investigation is launched. As well, the whole reasoning for his obsession is incredibly weak and makes no sense as to really make an impression. There's still some good stuff here, including a genuinely creepy dummy that gets in some truly chilling moments, a creepy mystery that gets resolved and even some fun action in the finale that offers some great excitement overall. It's not that bad, but it does have some problems overall.
Today's Rating/PG-13: Brief Nudity and Mild Violence.
