★★★★★ · Missed this one · Luna M. Princess · 2026-06-27
Truly an underrated movie! Haven’t seen it in over a decade and had no memory of seeing it until the ventriloquist part came on. Wow what a throwback!
★★★★★ · Quite unsettling. · Caspian Blank · 2026-08-18
Twilight Zone-like anthology with all stories linked together by a central story. Liked the mirror segment the best. Totally worth a watch; great for late night viewing.
