## Plot

Sammy McKenzie is a huge fan of *Oggy and the Cockroaches*, a successful children's television series featuring five animatronic characters — Oggy, Joey, Jack, Marky, and Dee Dee — along with their human co-star Fred, who dress as Bob. As a surprise birthday present, his parents Sarah and Zach take him with his step-brother David and his classmate Marie to a live taping of the show at Xilam Studios. Upon arrival, the family meet several audience and staff members, including show hostess Lola and her assistant Preston, fan couple Jason and Becky, aspiring young performer Gwen with her father Thomas, and security guard Oscar.

As the taping is getting ready, the studio's new vice president of programming, Charles, informs show's producer Fiona that he is cancelling the show after the recording as it does not go with his network's vision. The Oggy and the Cockroaches' new software updates malfunction after Jack overhears this through a drunken Fred, with Joey and Dee Dee kidnapping Charles while Jack kills Fred by thrusting a prop lollipop down his throat. Outside, Sarah learns that Zach has been cheating on her with another woman. When she returns to the studio, Zach finds Oscar's decapitated corpse and is then chased and run over by Dee Dee.

Meanwhile, Becky accepts Jason's marriage proposal while live streaming the backstage before Oggy arrives and murders Jason by sawing him in half. Oggy leaves Becky after he hears Sammy and Marie looking for Dee Dee, taking them to the workshop. He traps them with Gwen, who Joey kidnapped while Marky burned Thomas' face as they were searching Charles for an audition. The remaining survivors learn about the Oggy and the Cockroaches' carnage after finding a seriously-injured Thomas. Lola finds all phones disconnected and the confiscated cell phones destroyed while Sarah manages to subdue Joey before she and David find Becky and convince her to join them.

At the same time, Fiona and Thomas are forced to participate in the show's obstacle course until Oggy stabs Thomas to death in the back with a key while Fiona completes the course, only for Jack to smash her face with a hammer. Sammy, Marie, and Gwen meet the Oggy and the Cockroaches' creator William, who considers his animatronics' actions justified by the show's cancellation and conflicts over freeing the kids. Marky brings Joey for repair, causing William to get distracted enough for the kids to escape and lock him in the cell. While looking for a way out, Sammy, Marie, and Gwen come across Dee Dee and convince him to help them.

Sarah, Danny, Lola, and Becky arrive at the workshop to ask William how to stop Oggy and the Cockroaches but he does not provide any information. The group hear music coming from a hatch in the floor and go down. However, Becky notices the mask of an unused fifth animatronic named "Olivia". Losing her sanity, she puts on parts of the costume and kills William as revenge for Jason's death. Finding the underground passage littered with the corpses of Preston, the studio's staff, and the adult audience members, the group find Oggy, Jack, and Marky holding all children hostage while performing gruesome variants of their acts, like burning Fred's corpse and brutally murdering Charles by ripping his limbs off.

Dee Dee arrives and chains Sammy, Marie, and Gwen to be with the other children; but secretly gives Sammy the keys to free them. While Sarah and David manage to kill Oggy, Jack, and Marky, Gwen guides all the kids to the exit. Sarah, David, and Sammy meet up with Lola and Marie before being cornered by Joey. Suddenly, Dee Dee appears and attacks Joey, killing him before dying from critical damage sustained on the fight. As the police and paramedics arrive to attend survivors, David and Lola start a relationship while Sarah punches a heavily-injured Zach; demanding a divorce. Left behind on the parking lot, Zach is run over again; this time being killed by a now-insane Becky with the Oggy and the Cockroaches' remains in the back of the vehicle. While she drives and sings *The* *Oggy and The Cockroaches* theme song, Oggy reactivates and laughs maniacally.
