After her grandpa (Tom Wooler), a former famous TV ventriloquist, got killed in a bizarre incident involving his puppet, the very same puppet is handed over to Casey (Erica Slider) - and as soon as she receives it, people, mostly her friends, start dying left and right. Her boyfriend James (Andrew M.Rose) soon comes to the conclusion that Casey herself is behind all these killings, and even though this is a horrible thing to say about one's girlfriend, one can't really blame him, since Casey claims it's all her grandpa's puppet's doing. Mad as this sounds, she's right of course, because the puppet is really in league with the devil and has promised gramps instant success in exchange for his and his descendants' souls - so now the puppet is after Casey.

It all ends with Casey being arrested and thrown into a padded cell, but the puppet lives to see another day ...

One of these low budget indie slashers that have all sorts of technical issues, and are a bit too underfunded compared to what they are trying to achieve - and yet you can't help liking the film, at least to a degree, basically because it tries to be different, bring some humour into its tried and true story, goes for originality at least sometimes, and dares to steer clear of a traditional genre ending.

That all said, it's by no means a perfect film, but it's fun, and it leaves you hoping the director will some day make another movie ...
