Magic

A slow burn Hitchcock-ian psychological drama/thriller that mixes bits of "Psycho" with the creepy mannequins of several 70's movies/shows, like Kolchak: The Night Stalker's "The Trevi Collection." The well-crafted tension builds on the fragile mental state of Charles "Corky" Withers, a ventriloquist whose life is manipulated by his foul-mouthed dummy "Fats," and his doomed attempt to rekindle a romance with high school sweetheart Peggy Ann Snow.
