Hugo: The Yugo of films
1 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
There is nothing like a great title and catchy DVD cover to sell a stinker. May have plot spoilers ahead.

Norman (Tony Fadil) lives as a shut-in haunted by dreams of dolls and he takes medication. He eats burnt toast with his doll Hugo who talks to him. His doll is stolen and Norman goes to look for him in "the tunnels" which also connect to a home. Somehow connected is a film crew in the tunnels talking to Norman about a secret passageway.

The cinematography was bad and looked washed. I had a Redbox rental and I had to crank the sound up to 70 to hear it. Steven M. Smith got a lot of usage out of his red filter. Hugo didn't move other than when someone held him to make it look like he is peaking around a corner. On the plus side, I liked the broken doll face make-up and the girl at the end who had that Harley Quinn element to her. Too bad the film was consumed with dull dialogue.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity
