Synopsis

Jamie returns to his hometown in search of answers to his wife's murder, which occurred after receiving a weird package containing a ventriloquist dummy named Billy, which may be linked to the legend of ventriloquist Mary Shaw. Destined to find out the truth, Jamie goes to the town of Raven's Fair, where Shaw used to perform and is buried. But Jamie is in for more than he expected.

A resounding YES. A boy is kidnapped, murdered, mutilated, and turned into a puppet (off screen).

Hard to say. Someone says about an elderly widowed father that he's changed, in that "he doesn't fight anyone anymore", but it's not expanded on.

The detective shaves briefly more than once, using an electric razor; no foam. There's also cutting, but we don't see it happen.

SPOILERS: Sort of; a man falls from the catwalk of a theater, is caught by a ghost before he hits the ground, and then the ghost kills him. So, we see him fall, but he doesn't die from impact.

Kind of? Near the beginning of the movie, when (Spoiler) Billy kills the main guy’s gf, she spits out quite a bit of blood because he ripped out her tongue. So not *technically* vomiting, but it could definitely be triggering

Speculating here... A woman wants to be made to look like a doll after her death (and not just through makeup). This may be due to a type of body dysmorphia.
