The “California Klaus Kinski,” Nicolas Cage, is back, and this time he’s fending off possessed animatronic puppets without uttering a single word. In theory, you would think this film would be a stupid-fun blast, but in actuality, it’s an underdeveloped snooze that sleepwalks through nearly every aspect of its production.
