Surprisingly fun! I really like this movie. It has good tension and builds its antagonist up really well, without tipping its hand too much. The characters are engaging and the right amount of annoying, and you are swept up with them in their search, which leads them to a very scary and satisfying conclusion. It is one of the sleeper-movies that I didn't expect to be as good as it was. I recommend it.
Jamie returns to his hometown in search of answers to his wife's murder, which occurred after receiving a weird package containing a ventriloquist dummy named Billy, which may be linked to the legend of ventriloquist Mary Shaw. Destined to find out the truth, Jamie goes to the town of Raven's Fair, where Shaw used to perform and is buried. But Jamie is in for more than he expected.
