The story is about a serial killer on the run, is shot and dying when he performs a voodoo ritual to transfer his soul to a children's doll. This doll is then given to a small boy who fights for his life as the doll returns to Charles Lee Ray's killing ways. This movie has some groovy scenes with the killer doll because it just looked weird every time it moved, But this movie is still enjoyable and the directing is good too.

Hicks is especially good in this film because she gave various expressions that are perfect for certain scenes. …
