Magic
Directed by Richard Attenborough
Anthony Hopkins plays a ventriloquist whose dummy has a murderous mind of its own in this chilling psychological horror film written by legendary Hollywood scribe William Goldman (MISERY, MARATHON MAN) and directed by future Oscar-winner Richard Attenborough (GANDHI). Famous for its trailer ("Magic is fun. When you're dead!") which supposedly was removed from TV for being too scary, MAGIC still holds up as a terrifying trip to the Twilight Zone. Fans of Hopkins' iconic turn as Hannibal Lecter in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS should be sure to experience MAGIC.

One of Anthonys best films. Total classic.
A good film. Hopkins does fine work. The film suffers from some pacing issues.
Its more of a psychological thriller than a horror movie. It is light on the gore and it's pretty much full of cringey moments involving mental illness. It's not really my kind of movie as i prefer fast pace slashers but it is still a good watch with plenty of iconic actors.
Fantastic movie, but the ending made me mad.
loved it.
