It all plays out on the news, with animation instead of puppets used to show the footage.

It may be uncomfortable, but that’s part of the point.
There’s nothing to laugh at with the very serious puppets inAbruptio.

Freddy is still coming for you.
That reality is what makes theAbruptiopuppets stand out.
This isn’t a fantastical world of fantastical creatures, but our real world.
Everything around the puppets exists.
Okay, you’re making a movie starring puppets?
That’s compelling and scary.
We want to see how far a character will go and who will be revealed to be behind it.
This is whereAbruptiostarted to lose me.Lester is not a likable character worth rooting for.
He does whatever he’s told without ever fighting back or playing the hero.
His head could blow up at any moment and who would care?
Then there’s the reveal of who the big baddies are.
Perhaps that’s the whole point of using puppets.
Lester’s life is a nightmare.
Might as well make yours one too for ninety minutes.
Abruptiois available to rent on Prime Video.
