I've been a fan of full moon entertainment movies ever since I was a kid. Granted, I know they are typically very low budget and tend to have horrible acting, but their great for genre horror movies that aren't really done by Hollywood.i mean come on, these are the guys that made the demonic toys,killjoy, and subspecies movies. This movie plays along the type of movies that doll graveyard and killjoy were. The main character, ooga booga, even made his first appearance in doll graveyard. While the doll is played for laughs during the first part of the movie, he becomes vicious and murderous in the last half. A typical supernatural revenge/horror movie, this may have been done hundreds of times better than this little film, but this is still a very good film by a low budget company that actually knows what their doing and can deliver. Definitely check it out.

Devin (Wade Forrest Wilson) just passed his medical examines and is on his way to a great life as a doctor. Through a number of unfortunate circumstances his soul is transferred into a doll due to a short in a convenience store "Slurshy" machine. With the aid of his girlfriend Donna (Ciarra Carter) they seek to avenge his death against the racist cop Mike White (Gregory Niebel) and the drug dealers who work for him.

The title is racist as well as the doll with a bone through its nose. This was acknowledge within the film as well as other racist stereotypes. The film makes some of its characters deliberately racist. The dialouge, script, and brief gore effects are all light, campy, Troma style. The acting was also bad, most likely by design also. Amber Strauser, former cheerleader, opens the film as a "Daisy Duke" hostess for a kid's program.

Karen Black and Stacy Keach which headline this film have minor roles. For those who are immature enough to enjoy the Troma style films, they might find some enjoyment in this low budget feature.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, brief rape, nudity (Ciarra Carter, porn star Siri of "Gazongas 7"...I think you get the idea.)

Just where would we be without Full Moon Features? The production company have given us such classic films as The Puppet Master, Trancers (I-VI, no less),Evil Bong and The Gingerbread Man. Indeed, without these wonderfully catchy and kitchy DVD options, I would have had a many Saturday afternoon staring at my navel wondering just how fascinating watching paint dry could possibly be.

The latest Full Moon production to coax its way into my DVD player is Ooga Booga – a likely cult-classic that is a take on Tom Holland's 1988 classic, Child's Play. Featuring a cast that has the twisted arms of actors Stacey Keach and Karen Black participating, Ooga Booga tells the story of Devin, an African American med student who is innocently killed only to come back in the form of a 16-inch cannibal doll named (wait for it……) Ooga Booga.

Devin's soul inside Ooga Booga doesn't allow him to talk (he can make native cannibal noises though),so Ooga Booga uses his spear to write words to communicate with his girlfriend who helps Ooga exact revenge on gangs, judges, cops and just about anyone else that did him wrong during the final hours of his human life.

The effects are laughable which, I am sure, is exactly what producer/director Charles Band was attempting to achieve. Band has produced over 250 films in his storied career, but anyone who has put money and effort into Zombies vs. Strippers and The Dead Want Women knows a thing or two about tongue-in-cheek horror films. Ooga Booga is able to blink, shake and move his arms. But there are no expected Academy Awards in the film's future for visual effects.

The violence is less than can be expected in a Sharknado. Ooga Booga can spear people in the eye but outside of that knack he is about as threatening as Andy Dick is to my relationship with my wife.

Luckily, Stacey Keach and Karen Black in one of her last roles, come out unscathed. They have terrible lines of which they are contracted to convey but with taglines that included, "Beyond Django…." And "He's 16 inches, with an attitude!", they both knew this was paycheck cashing time.

Yet, despite its bad humor, overt racism, bad effects and simplistic plot, Ooga Booga does provide some entertainment. You just can't take your eyes off the ridiculousness of the main character and the idea is so outlandish that executives at Syfy must be scratching their heads asking themselves why they didn't think of it first.
