Ventriloquism

A common trope in portmanteau horror films and psychological shockers is the
animate ventriloquist's dummy. There are two common variants of this scenario:
the posessed dummy and the insane ventriloquist.

Now imagine a film where the ventriloquist's delusion is that their posessed
dummy is not in fact speaking, and that they must speak for them.
