The Puppet

About This Movie

Isabelle Hill's 'The Puppet' is a fascinating blend of comedy and horror that really plays with the absurd. The pacing has this quirky rhythm that mirrors Mia's spiraling perception of reality. It's intriguing how the puppet feels like a character in its own right, and yet, Mia's unraveling adds this layer of tension and humor. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, giving an almost tactile quality to the puppet's interactions. Performances are solid, especially Mia's, who carries that subtle descent into madness very well. It feels distinctive, like an off-kilter fairy tale gone wrong, and the atmosphere is both playful and unsettling, making it a unique entry in the genre.
