Synopsis
Dummy
Archibald the Amazing, a ventriloquist nearing the end of his career, gives one final performance with his dummy, Chucklehead. After the show, he tragically takes his own life in his hotel room-but his negative energy inhabits Chucklehead, transforming the dummy into a murderous force of terror. From a class reunion to hotel staff to unsuspecting bystanders, Chucklehead embarks on a blood-soaked rampage, vowing to make it a night to remember.
The Gift
Annie Wilson, young widow and mother of three, makes her living foretelling others' futures—though her own has become cloudier than even she can see. Threatened by a client's violent husband and plagued by visions of a missing local woman, Annie finds herself pulled into a thicket of lies and deception in which her extraordinary gift may ultimately get her killed.
