There are two versions of the movie; the edited, R-rated movie, and an uncut version. The movie took 6 months and 17 days to film.PlotThere is a young ghost story in the sleepy suburb of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist whose ambition was to make the perfect doll. Accused of the murder of a young boy named Michael Ashen, she was hunted down and killed by the vengeful townspeople. They buried her along with her ?children,? a hand-made collection of 101 ventriloquist puppets, including Billy (a reference to the puppet used in the Saw series, who has a cameo later on in the film), Ursula, Gregory, and a clown puppet named Cornelius.Since that time, Ravens Fair has been plagued by death. The ghastly dolls from Mary Shaw?s collection have gone missing from the grave, and over the decades, families are found gruesomely murdered, found with their tongues torn out and their jaws ripped open, and their bodies organized like family portraits. This has lead to ventriloquist dummies becoming a bad omen in the town of Ravens Fair, as they usually mean that Mary Shaw is nearby, ready to tear out her next tongue.The movie begins with scenes of Mary Shaw writing down things in her notebook and scenes of her assembling Billy.
