Tiki follows Amy Smith as she starts her drama school education, hoping to pursue her dream. Unfortunately, her classmates, like Julie Morton, quickly begin to harass her. To offer some comfort, Amy’s distant Aunt Maylea gives her a peculiar doll.
Okay, so picture this: the students pull a prank that really backfires, and Aunt Maylea, she’s not having it. She goes after them, seeking payback. But things escalate quickly when this little Tiki doll they messed with actually comes to life! It’s not just a scare, though – the students start getting seriously hurt, a gruesome punishment for their actions. Honestly, it’s a wild, over-the-top horror scenario.
Verdict on Tiki
Recap
Okay, so this movie is seriously creepy! It’s about a group of students who pull a prank, and it backfires in a big way when a doll starts terrorizing them. Apparently, the family of the person they pranked uses some kind of magic to bring the doll to life, and it’s all about revenge on everyone involved. It’s a wild ride!
Best Parts
Okay, so the premise here is genuinely intriguing: a little doll taking vengeance on the kids who seriously hurt someone – leaving them in a coma, no less. It starts out feeling like a pretty standard revenge story, but there’s something different bubbling under the surface.
Worst Parts
Okay, let’s be honest, this movie screams low budget. The special effects are…rough, and unfortunately, the acting doesn’t quite elevate things. It all just feels a little off, and by the finale, some scenes felt strangely disconnected. What really didn’t work for me, though, was the choice of narrator. They weren’t actually in the movie for most of it, which created a weird distance and made it hard to connect with what was happening.
Final Thoughts –Tiki is a typical low-budget horror movie.
