Plot: A gang of serial killers runs a themed birthday restaurant, offing themselves in a demonic ritual, reincarnating into animatronic puppets and haunting a little backwards town from beyond the grave. They run a tight business with the local police force, but when Cage arrives they finally met their match. As you can see, it's hardly elevated lore, instead it's more an of "anything goes" affair that allows Lewis to throw in whatever idea he sees fit. An approach I dearly appreciate.

What's there to say about this film? Half of it is Nicolas Cage cleaning a diner, the other half is pure madness, with a bunch of animatronic serial killers feasting on unsuspecting travelers. From afar this may look like an ode to 80s pulp, but somehow it's not and that may be a problem for a film that's already quite niche. But man does Lewis know how to create something wildly amusing. Prime entertainment.
