  Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★★ 6

  A really fun micro-budget evil doll "slasher", that has a setup that is kinda similar to Fulci's Ænigma. The kills are solid, the acting is as well (at least, I thought so ;), and there is a lesbian threesome thrown in for good measure. I'm not sure what more you could want?

  It's a real joy whenever the evil Tiki doll is on screen. Such an adorable little fella.

  I love how much this movie is a snapshot of mid aughts life, with the fashions, the hairstyles, the lava lamps, etc.

  Good times watching Tiki with Aiah, Vikrant and Adrian.

  Review by Adrian ☕🥐 ★★★★

  Tiki is quite the sleeper hit among indie horror flicks. It's a supernatural revenge story with lots of creative kills and hilarious puppet work. It is aware of its genre and uses stereotypes accordingly. The acting is as bad as you'd expect which plays into the experience. It's a great time all around.

  Watched with Aiah, Lou, and Vikrant.

  Review by Scumbalina ★★ 1

  You can't go into this not knowing what to expect on some level. Full Moon-ish post 2000 puppet dreck. 'Tiki' has a charm that it's peers don't share because it's actually trying. It fails miserably but there's a sincerity that is lacking in all that stuff Charlie Band cranks out. That being said it misses the mark by an immeasurable distance.

  Everyone and everything is awkward and displaced. The stereotypes were incredibly cliche but so far off it was almost surreal. The "mean girls" (this is College; not high school) were as retarded as they were juvenile. Everyone thought their totally generic Dad-looking theater teacher was a hottie. Also, this must have been around the time Red Bull gained popularity…

  Review by Wormy ★★★★

  I wish all suburbia looked like it does in Ron Ford's movies. I'm talking about the bedspread, the floral print, the lava lamps, the haircuts... everything! I haven't seen this much care and thought put into the bric-a-brac of a movie since Ted V Mikels. This looks like the product of years of combing through Goodwill colored-tag sales, exercising the upmost exquisite broke-ass taste. And what's astounding about it, is 2006 does not seem that long ago to me, but almost every aesthetic choice in this movie is dated in ways I forgot existed in the early 00's. Look at our lead. But I love dated. I love all this stuff. And I suppose even beyond the visuals, the mean…

  I hate when you pop in a random movie and hope it's going to be "so bad it's good" but instead it turns out to be "so bad it's unwatchable."

  Did not expect for me to love this as much as I did. It rocked!
  Great one liners, fantastic kills and top notch ending scene.

  A masterpiece of microbudget SOV cinema. I guarantee this will be considered a cult classic someday

  Review by HaremCinema ★★½

  This movie is one of the easiest choices that you will ever be faced with because you'll either be a fan or you'll hate it (read the other reviews to see what I mean). Here's what I can tell you about my own experience. I liked it & would happily watch it again. On Bad Movie Night with my fellow Bad Movie lovers. I think it's a movie that you either get the humor of it & guffaw along with it / at it or you'll suffer through it. If you've ever been fortunate enough to see the classic TRILOGY OF TERROR (1975) letterboxd.com/film/trilogy-of-terror/, the Richard Matheson episode AMELIA, well this is a lot like that. Except it's not serious horror, it's the silly, slapstick version of it. If the idea of that appeals to you then you'll have a blast with this.

  Review by ticharr ★★★★

  This is just a puppet master movie if you took out all the lore and the ip for legal reasons added a lesbian threesome and just called it a day 

  Honestly there is very little special about "tiki" and it’s probably entirely replaceable but I’d be lying if I said that bothered me this movies sweet and to the point and though I don’t care much for the tiki I genuinely like the majority of this cast especially Julie (Tanya Morton) who genuinely impressed me during the third act I’m actually kinda sad this was never picked up for a sequel because in another universe there’s probably 10 of these and none of them are that good 💔

  Review by Steven Millan ★

  Genre filmmaker Fred Olen Ray(ARMED RESPONSE[1986],BIOHAZARD[1983]) was the film distributor(via his physical media company Retromedia Entertainment) of this Spokane,Washington lensed el cheapo looking tepid feature from writer/director Ron Ford(WITCHCRAFT XI,THE CRAWLING BRAIN,NATASHA MIGHTY'S BOUDOIR OF BLOOD) that is basically a CARRIE/AENIGMA knock-off as a late teens gal(Joelene Smith) from Hawaii gets a led role in a campus play,via its sleazy drama class teacher([the James E. Edwards looking] Wes Deitrick[GUYVER:DARK HERO,THE RIVER MURDERS]),with a squad of Mean Girl classmates all wildly heckling her until she has a stroke that places her in the hospital which drives her Hawaiian voodoo practicing aunt(Maria Caprile) to unleash a murderous miniature Tiki statue after them.

  Despite displaying a premise that would be a more fitting…
