Ventriloquism, haunted doll and puppet movies (1 Viewer)

[Louis Letizia]

JOEY -released here as MAKING CONTACT by New World, was the first of blockbuster director Roland Emmerich's films to be shown here. Its a pleasent , ET like movie with an extraordinary doll that comes to life. I don't know if PIN qualifies-but that 1988 thriller still has the power to disturb with its medical dummy come to life-creepy film. SHANKS-although I've yet to see it-has Mime Marcel Marceau with human dummies ASYLUM with its killer mechanical dolls still frewaks me out And for comedy nothing beats the son and his dummy on tv's SOAP -Bob was hilarious.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents is a classic/vintage series I've been meaning to see on DVD for a while now. "The Glass Eye" was the third season premiere (October 1957).

Jackboots on Whitehall (2010) looks like a decent comedy film with puppets.
