Magic (1978)

With an all-star cast and one creepy puppet, Richard Attenborough’s 1978 psychological thriller/horror Magic shocked audiences and brought the horror of ventriloquism and severe mental illness into the 1970s spotlight.

But is there a chance to remind audiences about this forgotten gem?
