DEVIL'S MARIONETTE is dubbed a horror story and it did contain the boogeyman but it failed to scare or thrill me. Broaddus focused too much attention on the battle of network executives and producers to get black actors to "clown" themselves for ratings like modern day "Amos and Andy" characters. If more emphasis had been put in enhancing the horror scenes, the fear factor would have been there. It came off as though he was on his soapbox about the issue, which surprisingly is being debated today, and then all of a sudden the ghost would appear and claim a victim. The writing was clear and strong but it failed to make me shake in my boots.
