Shadow Zone: My Teacher Ate My Homework

A silly kid's film, low budget and made in the style of those churned out by Full Moon Entertainment. They even have a creepy puppet that resembles the ones found in the PUPPET MASTER franchise. This one was made in Canada but I assumed it was Eastern Europe. The kid from EVERWOOD plays a lad having trouble with a sadistic teacher until he finds a voodoo doll which comes in handy. At that point it all just falls apart with a jumbled mass of plot ingredients that never come together. Some camaraderie between the kids, but that's about it. Shelly Duvall gives a kooky turn as the teacher and Margot Kidder and John Neville cameo. The opening randomly copies TALES TO THE CRYPT and then some.
