Dark Romance Review
The Marionette is a masterful, dark psychological shocker.

It's exceedingly rare to experience a film in which depraved eroticism and horror are woven with such skill. With as many twists and turns as a bondage knot, and edited as a descent into horror that picks up speed toward a chilling conclusion, the film leaves unforgettable images of monsterously imaginative torture and deviant fetishism. And that's meant in a good way.

If the team of writer Wayland Jeremy Boyd and director Holly Paige Joyner are unleashed and mass marketed, prepare for cultural shockwaves to ensue.
