## Plot

Jacob 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 Dave take him with his step-brother Matt and his classmate Diddy 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 Johnny and Emily, aspiring young performer Gwen with her father Mike, and security guard Oscar.

As the taping is getting ready, the studio's new vice president of programming, Tom, informs show's producer Linda 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 Tom while Jack kills Fred by thrusting a prop lollipop down his throat. Outside, Sarah learns that Dave has been cheating on her with another woman. When she returns to the studio, dAVE finds Oscar's decapitated corpse and is then chased and run over by Dee Dee.

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

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

Sarah, Matt, Lola, and Emily arrive at the workshop to ask Jean-Yves Raimbauds 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, Emily 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 Johnny'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 Tom by ripping his limbs off.

Dee Dee arrives and chains Jacob, Diddy, and Gwen to be with the other children; but secretly gives Jacob the keys to free them. While Sarah and Matt manage to kill Oggy, Jack, and Marky, Gwen guides all the kids to the exit. Sarah, Matt, and Jacob meet up with Lola and Diddy 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, Matt and Lola start a relationship while Sarah punches a heavily-injured Mike; demanding a divorce. Left behind on the parking lot, Mike is run over again; this time being killed by a now-insane Emily 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.
