Mark Jones makes another attempt at 'Small Horror' leaves small results.

Warning: Spoilers
Two early teens see their ventriloquist mother overdose in a hotel room in front of them leaving them orphans with her huge dummy named 'dummy'. Once they become adults Norbert (Marquette) is so withdrawn he can only talk through the dummy and Angelina (Lopachin) is a hot blonde who also is a raging psycho. They take to the streets with the dummy in tow and anyone in their way is killed by Angelina or the dummy itself. The dummy seems to have magical powers that allow him to appear behind anyway at anytime. This is never explained past the point of Angelina saying its magic! On their way to Vegas where Angelina seems to think Norbert will be a big star they kidnap a girl named Robin (Chonacas) in hopes of Norbert impregnating her to carry on their bloodline. From Writer/Producer/Director Mark Jones, the guy behind "Leprechaun" comes yet another unfortunate approach at small terror and laughs. Its obvious Jones doesn't want you to take any of this serious so the weak attempt at scares falls flat. There is some gore including the dummy biting a man's penis but the story is so unbelievable and over the top it doesn't matter. There are a few crude jokes that might make you crack a smile but if you go into this thinking there is any real horror you will be sadly disappointed. Disjointed and ineffective this film overall is poor.
