The premise

Val, plagued with memories of the past, becomes convinced that a demon entity has possessed her puppets "Punch and Judy." She becomes sick, and her family thinks that she is close to death and losing her mind. Celebrating Val's birthday, the family begins to disappear, and those that remain have horrifying experiences with the puppets- and they soon learn the true story of Punch and Judy.

Horror Vault's take

When Val becomes consumed by disturbing memories and a growing terror that something dark has taken hold of her beloved Punch and Judy puppets, her family dismisses her fears as the ravings of a dying woman. Gathered to celebrate her birthday, they are forced to confront the puppets themselves — and one by one, the reunion turns into something far more sinister. Rooted in the unsettling mythology behind a beloved British tradition, this low-budget supernatural horror reframes a childhood staple as a vessel for genuine evil. What begins as a family drama quietly mutates into a nightmare that challenges the line between madness and malevolence.
