Angeline (Paydin LoPachin) and Norbert (Rocky Marquette) are young children when they are orphaned after the death of their drug addicted, ventriloquist mother. They are not completely alone though, as their mother’s dummy, called Dummy (Bruce Weitz) is with them when they are moved in to the dubious care of an abusive uncle. Murder and incarceration follow before the (now) late teenage children head off on the road in Bonnie and Clyde and Dummy style terror. Norbert never speaks, Angeline is the most deranged, trashy blonde on film for some time, and Dummy likes to kill.
Writer and director Mark Jones has a thing for small, evil people (with Leprechaun and Rumpelstiltskin already to his credit) and he puts together an enjoyable and amusing piece of puppet violence here.
But is it the puppet, or is it Norbert or Angeline that is responsible?
