When a man (Ryan Kwanten) suspected of his wife's brutal murder tells a detective (Donnie Wahlberg) he believes she was killed by a late ventriloquist's doll, all he gets is lip service---until more bodies start turning up. This crafty chiller's screenwriter (Leigh Whannell) and director (James Wan) are the team behind the "Saw" series. The film is in the scary tradition of such demon-dummy villains as "Dead of Night," "Magic" and "Devil Doll." Amber Valletta, Bob Gunton.
