Step right up folks, and see how bad a film can be when your casting director wouldn't know talent if it rented space up their #$%.
Never heard of any of these actors? Suprise, suprise. They're all terrible. They're being out-acted by the terrible un-entertaining puppets of the film. Got a phobia of killer dolls? This film might cure it! if you can sit through the god awful, unrealistic acting performances of all the human characters in this.
The plot is about a group of friends who .... ah, WHO CARES. Don't bother with this movie that should win the 'worst performances by an entire ensemble cast' award for 2019. Don't even bother checking this out if it's free to watch.

The movie isn't as bad as most of the reviews state. It's not great, but I've seen way worse. The acting isn't horrible, the effects aren't terrible, at least until the end. On the other hand, the script is weak. The ending was pretty bad. There isn't much in here that hasn't been done elsewhere and better. The characters were pretty stereotypical. There was the rich, popular guy, the jock, the nerdy scientific one (in this case a cute female), the shallow, sex-crazed guy, the dumb blonde model, and the tough girl. There was some time spent letting you get to know them. There were 3 that were halfway likable. But the final confirmation was lame and the ending was really, really bad. You could do worse, but you could also do better.
I know those 2 are both decent actors yet this movie was awful.... I did watch it till the end, though I did almost turn it off within the first 5mins as it was so obviously amateurish. But I went ahead and stuck it out as I was folding laundry and didn't feel like stopping to find something else to watch. The acting is the most horrifying thing about this one, other than that there isn't much to say... Saying it fell flat is an understatement, even saying that it was boring is not quite enough... I had a very hard time actually watching it and not just tuning it out and ignoring it. The overall concept has promise, but the end result was beyond mediocre. Film school project quality.
Just a piece of tripe. This movie is just as stupid as the tittle suggests. YUCK!
What's not to like, ventriloquist dummies, an attractive cast. What am I saying? They had me at ventriloquist dummies. Murderous ventriloquist dummies. Clearly the director was working with a limited budget, but got the most out of his cast and crew. You want a good, fun horror movie? This is it.
