A perfect candidate for MST3K! Blatantly rips off stuff from other movies. Summary is as follows:
9 year old Joey's dad dies (He is beter off NOT appearing in this film anyway). About a week later Joey get's a call from his dad on his toy phone. I mean come on the kid is supposed to be 9! Isn't he a little old for a little toy phone? Not only that but you can see he has Sesame Street curtains. He has a toy robot with a mind of it's own that looks a bit like R2-D2 with arms and eyes. He get's teased at school because the other kids know he is a loser after he tells them about his talk with daddy. Anyway when he chases that stupid robot into an old house up the hill he finds a ventriloquist dummy. But it is EVIL!! Also we now learn Joey is a very powerful telekinetic and can move stuff with his mind. (Yeah right!) Believe it so far? I didn't think so. He tries to bury it but his stupid teacher sees him running away and returns the doll. Anyway he learns Joey's secret and calls in people from the local college to investigate this unexplained happening. Well the bullies aren't gonna let him get away that easily. They plan to sneak past everyone and do something to Joey. But the doll is in the old house the bullies are using as a fort and traps them there. A little girl Joey likes tells him what happened and they go to save them. The bullies are scared by their nightmares (Darth Vader, fat kid see's a giant killer hamburger, etc) Joey saves them, the doll get's defeted, and joey dies. The paramedics can't save him. All of a sudden all his toys come alive like in the start of the film. Plus Star Wars toys move and fly on their own (Eat your heart out ILM!) and the final shot is of Joey's eyes opening indicating he is alive again.
Like I said. VERY farfetched. It is a crappy kids film. Just plain bad!
