Big mistake. This is the weirdest and most confusing movie that I have seen in a long time. It was difficult to understand the plot at the beginning because it quickly switched from a realistic world to a fantastic world without any true transition. It also is filled with the creepiest puppets I have even seen in my life, and I hate puppets. To give it some credit, the idea itself wasn't necessarily a bad one, but it could have been developed a lot better. Verdict: Don't subject yourself to the horror of terrifying puppets! |
