User Review

There are many stories about killer dolls, but this one is special. Director Osgood Perkins, making a film in the comedy horror genre, gave the story a little more chaos, circus, and wildness, and less horror. This only benefited the story.

The prototype was probably the wind-up mechanical monkey Jolly Chimp, which clatters plates, bares its teeth, and rolls its eyes. Children love it, and it evokes emotions ranging from laughter to horror.

The main characters are teenage twins Hal and Bill, who live with their mother Lois and a visiting nanny. As siblings should, the boys compete and bully each other at home and at school. They are passionately jealous of their mother and hate each other. At the same time, they are soul mates!

One day, while rummaging through their missing father's belongings in the attic, they find a box with a wind-up toy. As soon as they wind it up, mysterious deaths begin to occur around them.

The theme of human violence against humans is absent from the film. There are no fights, murders, or battles. Deaths occur as if by accident. People die like hamsters in a microwave—they just explode!

The inventiveness and colorfulness of the deaths is striking. Generous doses of blood, bones broken into pieces, torn-off hands, intestines flying out of bodies. “Beauty!” Quentin Tarantino would say.

Personally, everything happening on the screen reminded me of the atmosphere of a circus, where a terrible yet cheerful atmosphere reigns. Dangerous things are scattered around the perimeter of the circus, traps are set, and you don't know who will fall into the trap next. There are many secondary characters, all of them bright, colorful, and attention-grabbing. As soon as the key on the toy's back is turned, and the monkey starts to bulge its eyes, a chill runs down your spine from a terrible premonition.

There is a lot of teenage and black humor.

The film's pacing is excellent. The film is captivating. And it's as if the director, Papa Gru, is saying to us, the audience: “Minions, do you want more deaths?” And we're like, happily shaking our popcorn: “Yes!!!” And the degree of bloody absurdity picks up speed.

I kept waiting for the monkey to kill the funny Elijah Wood. He may be a minor character, but he played it perfectly.

I'm surprised that the film has been given an 18+ rating. Teenagers aged 12+ have seen worse in Squid Game, Chucky, It, Granny, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Ouija Board.
