    Son of Leprechaun and Chucky

    Man, I expected a lot from this movie. It sounded like one of those puppet horror movies with a killer twist. Trailer seemed nice, but what a let down this was.

    The role of Angelina seemed way over the top; first it was like watching a killer spoof from Scary Movie. Not believable. Her brother was a retarded nut that didn't convince either.

    Was it a comedy? IMDb says it's horror. A few slightly scary moments, a few unexpected story lines. But the rest has been done before and better.

    The 78 minute runtime of the DVD was too long, I skipped some scenes. I wondered why it wasn't in the cinema in Holland, and why not released on DVD with my native language as subtitle, and only in German. Well, there is a clearly obvious reason for that. Thin characters, annoying at times.

    Sister loves Brother. Brother loves Dummy. They all love killing people.

    Man, this "killer puppet movie" was warped... It's definitely not a film for all tastes. Can't really say it's a decent film either, but it's just so demented, going from plain dumb to hilarious. Paydin LoPachin gave it her best shot as deranged sister Angelina, but I find her performance admirable at best. I didn't really found her capable of completely carrying the film, sadly. Still, a crazy killer doll movie, with offbeat white trash slasher moments and a road-movie vibe reminiscent of NATURAL BORN KILLERS by the guy (Mark Jones) who previously brought us enjoyable nonsense like LEPRECHAUN and RUMPELSTILTSKIN... That alone is reason enough to watch TRILOQUIST and like it, regardless. One visual gag had me really laughing out loud: The dummy shoots the cop, and the shotgun kicks back and blows him wooosh out of the frame! That's funny stuff! Add some welcome female nudity. A little bit of gore & bloodshed. A lot of sick jokes. And this flick can't be all bad, can it?

    Lightweight Entertaining Horror Comedy

    Pretty much from the start it's clear where this movie is coming from and what you should expect from it. If you are looking for an even vaguely serious, linear movie that tells a story that all hangs together and makes sense then you better look elsewhere. This is straight up silly escapism and fun, and I enjoyed pretty much every minute. I thought all the parts were well cast, especially the brother who looks perfect with his sealed lip expression. The female lead does a good job, though unfortunately we don't get to see her sans clothes. There's a good smattering of silicone free nudity however, so the director clearly knows what people who watch this kind of stuff want. The script was decent, and most of the lines that were meant to pull a laugh worked for me. Some really funny set-pieces too, one in particular out the back of the strip club near the start was insanely funny, but I'm not going to spoil it for you. If you've seen the movie then you'll know the scene. You have to pretty much totally suspend disbelief to enjoy this film, as quite frankly it doesn't really make much sense or try to explain itself at all. It's just a trippy ride with some boobs and crude jokes, but hey, I can dig that. The plot, what of it there is, seems pretty much to be a vehicle to carry the crazy ideas of the writer, and he sure has plenty of crazy ideas. I liked this movie a lot, but it's only worth a 7, because it could have been better and there were a few times that it didn't quite hold it together. Still very good for those of you who like trash cheesy "horror" comedy. Would have been better with some gore as well. Forgot to mention, it's pretty minimal on that front.

    '80 minutes of perverse glee !!!! '

    OK, "Saw" the ad in Fangoria, Dimension Extreme brand more often good then bad, Weinstein brothers always good for a laugh , "FROM THE WRITER AND DIRECTOR OF LEPRECHAUN" first one good, the rest ugh !!!, spotted the DVD looking lonely on shelf, rented it not expecting much.What I got though was 80 minutes of perverse glee !!!!.Don't get me wrong, I'm not much for horror/comedy.I like my gore straight up.But this demented tail is Chucky, Billy and Howdy Dudie with a twist of John Waters. A wonderful abnormal film for wonderfully abnormal people.Give it a try if you enjoy movies that that are outside the main stream. Cudos for the actors playing the sister and the brother. Cudos for Mark Jones, the guy who created Leprechan and who hatched this baby up. And razzies to gorehounds without a sense of humor .

    Not worth it

    Wow, this one's bad. Real bad. I guess it's a horror/comedy hybrid, but it fails on both fronts. The writing here is just really weak. The script jumps all over the place. When I saw this on the shelf at the video store, I thought "what the heck?" I might be getting another cheesy classic a la Chucky or Leprechaun with this one, but it was nowhere close. I'm really not putting much stock in the Dimension Extreme branding anymore. They're churning out too many stinkers. The one bright (?) spot in this movie was the acting. I thought both the leads did a good job with the material they were given. I expect to see more from the actress who played the sister.
