Ridley Hooper (nicely voiced by Sean Bridgers) finds out that his little sister Elsie has been abducted by evil creatures known as Shadowmen. Armed only with a shotgun, Ridley ventures into the dangerous darkness to get his sister back.
Writer/director Robert D. Krzykowski brings a fun pulpy sensibility to the neat premise that proves to be both appealing and enjoyable in equal measure. Moreover, Krzykowski makes nifty use of the widescreen format along with such funky old school stylistic flourishes as wipes and split screen. The puppet protagonist and creatures look pretty gnarly, too. Well worth a watch.
