When college students Alexandra, Chris, and Jennifer move in together, they explore the attic of their new place and come upon a wooden crate containing a wooden crate containing a ventriloquist dummy wrapped up in chains and a nametag that says "Finley". After playing with him for a bit, they put him back and carry on with their day, only for him to come to life and set out to go on a murder spree.

!! Tropes:
* AgonyOfTheFeet: [[spoiler:One of the burglars gets several nails in his feet when he gets caught in Finley's rug trap.]]
* AsideGlance: Finley does this at the end when [[spoiler:the housemates notice that their eggnog tastes off, implicitly because he poisoned it]].
* DeconReconSwitch: Of "killer doll" movies such as the ''Franchise/ChildsPlay'' series. Upon being awakened by the owners of the house, Finley sets out to kill each of them, only to have all of his attempts fail either due to his small size or his lack of practice, with the three of them coming to see him as a nuisance at worst. However, after three months of unsuccessful attempts, he starts to learn from his mistakes and gets the chance to put his newfound knowledge in action when burglars invade the house.
* ElectrifiedBathtub: Finley tries doing this to Alexandra, only for it to not work because he didn't plug in the toaster first. [[spoiler:He gets a chance to do it right on one of the home invaders after he sets the man's hand on fire and he goes over to the tub to extinguish it.]]
* PetTheDog: Or rather, the ''cat'', as that is the only member of the household that Finley doesn't try to kill. [[spoiler:In fact, it's when one of the burglars threatens to shoot said cat that Finley is motivated to spring his plan into action.]]
* SlipperySkid: [[spoiler:Finley trips one of the burglar by spilling out marbles on the floor, leading to him stumbling onto some nails that Finley had set as a trap.]]
