The plot regarding a young medical student being unexpectedly killed by a cop then his soul being transferred into the Ooga Booga doll, thus having the doll come to life. This film isn't exactly a comedy, as it's more quite dark and has some gruesome horror-like kills (by the Ooga Booga doll).
The plot line is relatively straightforward and is as expected. Overall this is quite a bizarre film and isn't for everyone. Some decent moments but overall it is lacking.
It played like a middle of the road porn movie, only with most of the sexy parts cut out. The scenes dragged, as though there was no script (or the actors struggled to remember their lines), the death scenes were tame to say the least, and the laughs few and far between, the Shower scene the only real out loud moment. The weird Hambo thing at the beginning was promising, maybe if they ran with that as the killer it could have worked.
Avoid if you value your time!
I know you maybe thing this sounds just like "He Who Kills" one of stories in Trilogy of Terror.
This is doll not were near as scary at all , I found the doll a little to nice to be scary and Kill were just dull as it same kill thought the movie.
The whole movie felt empty but thing nice about this was Karen Black started in this movie, which was only funny think about, as it not her first with doll like this.

Ooga Booga follows an innocent African American boy who is brutally murdered by dirty cops, but his soul is magically transferred into an action figure named Ooga Booga. With on his tribal spear and old girlfriend to help he takes to the streets and trailer parks to find the men that ended his once bright future. There is no doubt Band is great at what he does. He somehow takes these silly little characters and turns them into something that should never work. Of course these films are ridiculous, but they still work great. While Ooga Booga doesn't deliver as much of the gore or horror as some of the previous films of its kind it still delivers the fun and cheese nature fans have come to love. The obvious real star is Ooga Booga himself and is made that much greater watching him deliver his tribal yell and glowing red eyes before making his kill that is so brilliantly ridiculous that it works on every level. The film also sports a couple of greats in Stacey Keach and Karen Black who chew up the screen and look like they are having a great time.
There is no doubt that the Full Moon films have a pretty specific audience and those are the same people that will love this movie. Those outsiders that somehow do not grasp the fun that these films deliver will not only get it, but most likely stay away anyway. Let's hope this is not the last time we get to see Ooga Booga, but maybe we can get some fun team ups alongside Gingerdead Man or Puppet Master.
