Grand Guignol

Punch and Judy are alive! Returning from the puppets' graveyard, both Punch and Pretty Polly go in search of Judy. Once re-united, these former stars enact their tragi-comedy one last time. Becoming increasingly violent, the most primaeval of all English folk dramas reaches a gloved climax. All of the stock characters play their part - whether Punch, Judy, the Baby, Pretty Polly, the Devil, Scaramouch, Clown Joey, the Policeman, Beadle, Doctor, Dragon, Hobby-horse, Crocodile, Minister, Hangman, Toby Dog, the Bottler or an invisible Professor. How will it end? Shall our puppets come to grief? Who's going to give the Bottler sixpence at the close? Root-toot-toot.
Reviews
This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
