The Puppet

About This Movie

So, 'The Puppet' is this quirky blend of action and comedy where five humble office drones find themselves at the mercy of Neil, who’s not your typical villain, and his sinister sidekick, Morgan, this hand-puppet with a mind of its own. There’s this weird tension that really builds as the hostages bicker and try to navigate their dire situation. The humor is dark and offbeat, contrasting sharply with the hostage drama unfolding. Practical effects add a certain charm, especially with Morgan's antics, which feel refreshingly hands-on rather than digital. Performances are an interesting mix, some really lean into the absurdity while others play it straighter, adding layers to the dynamic. It’s a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but you can’t help but appreciate its unique take on the hostage trope.
