Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who enjoys a good scare. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

In 1993, in Hollywood, California, a decadent ventriloquist overdoses and dies, leaving her two children to be sent to a foster house with their dummy. Their lives become a nightmare of abuse and murder, to be avenged by a wrathful dummy.
