In a seedy motel in Hollywood, a down-and-out ventriloquist with a creepy looking Dummy kills herself with a drug overdose as her two young children watch. The kids are sent to live with a perverted uncle who ends up dead. Turning eighteen, the beautiful and twisted sister tells her brother they will head out to Las Vegas so he can be a great ventriloquist like their mother was. The brother has never spoken since the death of his mother - the creepy Dummy does all his talking... and the Dummy seems to hate the sister. This weird 'trio' set out on Halloween night, and end up killing a young kid. The sister and the Dummy blame the silent brother, and he is sent to an institution. Months later, the sister and the demented Dummy break the brother out, and the three of them set out on a road trip. They kidnap a young girl so the brother can impregnate her, to carry on the family bloodline. Being hunted by the police, this desperate and psychotic 'trio' fall further and further into darkness... and the creepy Dummy seems to develop a life and mind of his own.
'Sleazeball puppet gem that delivers more twisted black comedy than it does chills. Plots about a down on her luck ventriloquist who due to spiralling debts takes her own life, leaving her two children Norbert & Angelina all alone other than the doll named Dummy she used in her act. While growing up they're thrown from one bad home to another. They end up at their perverted uncle’s house who abuses them. So with the aid of Dummy they kill him. Cut to present and a period in care the kids are all grown up and set out to fulfil their dying mother’s wish of turning her and Dummies act into a Vegas success. To help fund the trip Angelina does various lap dancer and hooker jobs. She also decides Norbert needs to continue the family blood line so they take a women hostage to father an heir. It's all very sleazy and spirals into an incestuous sister/brother killing spree. Though the plot could have offered more horror I still found it highly entertaining. It was very much like a Full Moon movie if Rob Zombie had been involved.'
