10 Best Killer Doll Movies

5) Magic (1978)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx7smh7YHKg Corky (Anthony Hopkins) is a crap magician. He returns with a foul-mouthed ventriloquist's dummy called Fats which is a great success. On the verge of signing a TV contract, Corky and Fats head for the hills. Corky knows he has psychological issues which will make him fail a medical. Fats has become his id and he cannot control him. He meets up with an old flame called Peggy and they have sex. Fats gets very jealous. Corky's agent manages to get a hold of him and demands he seeks help. Fats urges Corky to kill the agent which he does by smacking him round the head using Fats as the actual weapon. The agent is still alive and Corky manages to drown him in the lake. Duke, Peggy's hubby comes back from his trip earlier than expected. He is having a heart to heart with Corky about the dire state of his marriage while they are on a boat on the lake. Duke spots a body floating (the agent). When it is ascertained the body is dead, Duke, out of curiosity goes into Corky's dwellings and is killed by Fats. Corky wants to run away with Peggy but she wants to talk to Dune first. Fats comes alive and informs her that Corky is a player and she is only the last in a long list of conquests. Understandably she is upset. Fats says that he is going to make decisions in Corky's life now and he must kill Peggy. Corky kills himself to stop all of this Fats-induced killing madness. Fats' voice grows faint and they wonder who will die first. Fats himself is not a killer doll. He is inanimate. Yet he is used to kill people with as a weapon (by Corky) and he acts as the disturbed part of Corky's increasingly psychotic mind - he has the power to sanction murder. Fats really steals the show with every scene he is in. He is a horrible looking doll, very repulsive and although you know that Fats is really only the disturbed part of Corky's mind speaking, you still wait for him to animate and do something creepy. Apparently Hopkins did all of Fats' dialogue. He doesn't just do debonair serial killers, he does ventriloquist dummies as well! A class act.
