It was the dummy all along, Lector?
...long before Chuckie and Hannibal was this fanciful thriller which is not so much scary as it is disturbing. See, Hopkins as the ventriloquist goes mad and goes on a killing spree through the dummy. As the dummy seems to be moving on it's own, it will have you shuddering with goosebumps. Ann-Margret plays his romantic interest and Meredith 'The Penquin' Burgess plays Hopkins' agent/manager. (They will meet again in less lurid circumstances in the Grumpy Ol' Men movies). The last moments of the film are unforgettable. See this one in the dark with a freind.
