Steve B I saw this on the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Time Bubble Tour in Cleveland in November of 2021. I have it two stars because the riffs they made of this movie were funny. If I watched this movie by itself, it would be a bomb. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review stephen b Only saw it because of MST3000. And that's probably for a very good reason. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 9 year old boy who loses father thinks he connects with him beyond the grave via toy phone only to learn it is the evil spirit of an old ventriloquist's dummy. Thought this was being set up as a feel good story but boy never does connect to his dead father. Still unclear how the boy developed telekinetic powers. The university must have received massive grants judging by the mass of technicians and equipment sent over to the boy's house to assess his powers, it was amazing the boy walked out from their supervision without anyone noticing. Probably should have been made as a children's adventure, especially with the tag line "an out of this world adventure", but film ventures into dark territory far too often for that. Will have to watch this again someday, certainly has some camp value. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member liked it as a child, now its terrible, I do not know what happened, possibly 30 years Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A possessed ventriloquist dummy torments a child who recently lost his father to death. At first the kid thinks his father is possessing the dummy, but soon he realizes its a demon. He has some super powers which are triggered by the onset of puberty so he battles some monsters and bullies. The kid was way too spoiled and had too many cool toys! Pretty uneven; a too-complicated story, mostly poor special effects and unsympathetic characters make for this to be unmemorable.
