5.0 out of 5 stars Breath of fresh air, August 9, 2008

This review is from: Triloquist (DVD)

Let me start off by saying that 'Triliquist' is not for everyone. Heck, I'd even say that it's not for 98% of movie viewers. This film is for people who like a little corn or cheese (creativity) or however you term it. Angelina and Norbert are given the short end of the stick by a junkie mother. They are forced to live with another relative who likes to 'touch' so this lays out the personality for Angelina, the Dummy and Norbert who must fend for themselves in a world that they just don't get along with. Watch this film with little expectations and you may be surprised i.e. cop on the side of the road and the Dummy with the shotgun had me rolling! But BEWARE! The DVD from Blockbuster and Netflix is edited while I own an edition that has more references to er..body parts and the like. This may have worked better trimmed down as a 'Tales From the Crypt' episode but I like it just the same. At just over an hour and fifteen minutes even if you hate it you won't have much time invested. Some definitely un-politically correct moments in this so a warning for you 'sensitive' types. Group Hug <3 Ha Ha!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Magically Psychotic Ventriloquist Tour, September 5, 2008

This review is from: Triloquist (DVD)

If you've seen Leprechaun (who hasn't?)
you should pretty much already know what to expect from writer/director Marc Jones. (something like Leprechaun)
If you're expecting something more than a few cheap tricks,
and a plethora of tongue-in cheek laughs,
you will be sorely disappointed. (3rd degree burn disappointed)

The story here is plastic-wrap thin; (practically transparent)
a perfectly psychotic sister, (psychotically gorgeous)
and her socially deranged brother
set out to Las Vegas to break into show-biz.
(with the wildly popular art of ventriloquism)
With them is the often-hilarious, wise-cracking, possibly magical, family dummy.
(though it's never clear who's hand is up his pants)
Along the way the trio gets into all sorts of zany hi-jinx
(murder, ventriloquism, car-jacking, kidnapping a woman to be psycho bro's bride, etc.)
yet they always manage to find a way out of trouble
using a whole host of unexplained magic tricks.
(nice way to glaze over those plot-holes Mr. Jones)

Don't expect to be frightened, (unless jokes frighten you)
but expect to cringe & laugh
at the low-brow humor that's crammed into every disjointed scenario.
The whole movie feels like a compilation of refreshingly bizarre scenes
you absolutely won't see anywhere else, (unless you're insane)
that have all been nailed together to create some sort of cinematic mutant. (this movie)
Even if it isn't utterly amazing, (it's not)
you gotta give this flick credit
for showing us things no other horror movie ever has.
(you'll never believe what this dummy does with it's mouth)
Have there been ventriolquist horror flix before?
Sure!!!
"Magic", "Dead Silence", The Tales from the Crypt episode "The Ventriloquists Dummy",
but none have ever gone to the ridiculous length this flick has. (Las Vegas)
What this movie lacks in story & character development,
it more than makes up for in entertainment.
This is the movie you don't have to think about; (like at all)
You can just sit back and enjoy it a whole lot more than any ventiloquist act in the country. (unless they have naked ones now)

**Keep an eye out for a cameo by the son from "Sleepwalkers"**

MORAL OF THE STORY:
A talking dummy is alot better than a _moron who won't shut up.

2.0 out of 5 stars Calling this bizarre is an understatement, January 20, 2009

By

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Triloquist (DVD)

From Mark Jones, the writer and director of the original Leprechaun, comes Triloquist; another exercise in pint-sized horror/comedy that ends up being more bizarre than anything else. Then again, calling Triloquist bizarre is a definite understatement. Payden LoPachin and Rocky Marquette star as psychotic siblings Angelina and Norbert, who are making a trek to Vegas, with their equally psychotic ventriloquist dummy (voiced by Bruce Weitz) in tow. It isn't long before they abduct a girl (Katie Chonacas) whom Angelina hopes Norbert will impregnate to keep their family growing. This is about as close to a plot as Triloquist comes to having, which isn't such a bad thing considering the film gets off to a very darkly humerous start, but sadly quickly loses steam once the road trip begins. Still though, hottie LoPachin is clearly having a good time with the material, and turns in a surprisingly good and magnetic performance that will keep you interested in the flick, even when it degenerates into self-parody. All in all, it's easy to see why so many hate Triloquist, but for what it's worth, there's some morbid fun to be had here, even if it doesn't last as long as you'd like it to.
