The trailer to this movie was the selling point to me, but it was not quite what the trailer showed. A definitely weird movie about a man with a spider like puppet who returns to his home (frankly, a dilapidated home) to his cruel stepfather. The man acts as if the puppet is alive and makes several efforts to destroy it. His stepfather continues to berate him. At the same time, young boys are going missing from the small town, and the blame shifts to the puppeteer. Is the puppeteer going crazy and committing these crimes? The movie is in black and white adding to the gloom of the setting. This is not an action movie and the viewer needs patience to stick it out to the end. Not quite the horror movie the trailer indicates but a definite horror of another time.
