I started binging horror movies on the Tubi app during last Halloween. I came across this movie and almost wrote it off as another "puppet" movie. But then I saw it starred Anthony Hopkins - one of my all time favorite actors. Since then, I have been preaching this movie to anyone who'd listen. I cannot stress how much this movie struck me. It is eerie, it is uncomfortable, it is dark, it is psychological. It's hands down Anthony's best performance and I wish more people today would talk about it.

This is a fabulous movie...saw it in the theater when I was 14 and it totally freaked me out at the time. Watching it again many years later as an adult, you realize what a masterful performance Mr Hopkins gave to the film. As has been said in the comments, Mr Hopkins should of at least got a nomination for this. But Hollywood (To the best of my knowledge) didn't give scary movies nominations in those days. I think that changed with "Silence of the lambs" which of course is another masterful job by Sir Anthony.

Burgess Meredith's character, with that soft, wise voice. Calmly testing his friend, who he now knows is very ill. Resigned, knowing full well that Corky, as he says, "ain't in control." Watching him crumble before his eyes, as each second passes, each time he asks "how long?" Everything he says, "I don't mean it to be. That would be sad. I didn't think you could . . . " Broken hearted. "I'm your one chance." Brilliant.

You have to love Attenborough's direction. When Corky is coming up on the halfway point, the camera pans so that he and Fats are both in profile. The camera continues to move until Fats' face completely eclipses Corky, and immediately afterward Corky admits that he can't make it. Wonderful visual representation of Corky's identity slipping away and being taken over by Fats.

I also remember the long line of people that snaked around the block when it played at the Carlisle (PA) Theatre on a Saturday night. They held the movie over for a second week, which was a pretty big deal in those days. BLAZING performance by Hopkins, one of the best I've ever seen!

For me, the scariest part is how we know Corky's dangerous, but Greene is so overconfident walking away from him.

The way he digs his own grave is way more unsettling than if he ran away scared.

I love that Fats sees the Postman first and screams then Corky turns around. There's another part where Corky puts Fats down and the eyes continue moving (which I think was an error left in). It suggests the supernatural somewhat, but this isn't really a supernatural movie. I saw this in the theater as a kid in 1978. It has the distinction of being the first R rated movie I ever saw. A forgotten horror/thriller, but I never forgot it. Never brought up even on underrated horror lists. I constantly recommend it. Another good forgotten horror is The Other 1972. Both Magic and The Other were scored by the great Jerry Goldsmith. I think the music score is what elevates these films to a different level.

I fell in love with Anthony Hopkins’ acting method after Silence of The Lambs, but this performance makes me remember how he is such a brilliant actor. Interestingly, my favorite actor of all time is Gene Wilder. When he was interviewed on Larry King, he was asked “are there any movie roles you regret not getting?”. He replied that he never really regretted not getting a role, but *this* role is the one he was considered for, and wanted, but didn’t get, and he was extremely disappointed. I love Anthony Hopkins, but I think Gene would have been extremely interesting in this role.

He's sees Corky is disturbed and tormented, but he still feels like Corky is a son to him, and thus this is his way of trying to get Corky to see how unbalanced he is, and it's hurting him as well (you can tell by the emotion in his voice when he says it).

This is Jeff Dunham’s inspiration for becoming a ventriloquist, I believe. I had no idea this was an Anthony Hopkins film.

The viewer can easily think that Corky is imaging Fats moving on his own, that would make it more mysterious, showing Fats not moving an inch while "speaking" makes it pretty obvious that Corky is simply mad.

I like to think Anthony's childhood served him well for roles like this (or many of his roles actually, that he's played). He has said he had a messed up childhood and often felt "off".

"I'm your one chance" proved to be so true by the end of the film. If Ben had been able to get Corky psychiatric help here, it wouldn't have escalated to murder, becoming hopelessly insane and him eventually committing suicide. At this point, he hadn't killed anyone and probably would have only had to spend a short while, maybe couple of years at most, in a hospital until he responded to treatment. By killing Ben he spiralled much further out of control, killed again and ended up having to make the choice of either killing Peggy or himself, as Fats became the dominant personality. Ben was his last hope.

Such amazing acting from all three guys....haha...Magic makes for mesmerizing watching. This film made a huge impact upon me as a young man....it is crazy stuff but just awesome viewing. The bit where Corky tries to tear his own face off was just Anthony Hopkins improvising apparently. Just amazing acting....

I'm not entirely sure if everyone is blind or in love with this scene. I mean I've seen this movie like 50 times and I have to tell you that Fats is alive. Can anyone guess why I would say that? Ask yourself, how did Corky see Ben behind him to have Fats exclaim in surprise? Because Fats is alive, it happens so quick - we the audience is like "Oh crap, Corky is caught in the act of being crazy!" but in reality - the Director just revealed the truth. Fats is actually Magic.

An unsettling fact is that some patients of extreme psychosis do exhibit extra sensory perception and precognition, although not actual and just a manifestation of their paranoia heightening their natural senses, the fact that it appears that way is disturbing enough.

I was 15 when this movie came out. Couldn't wait to see it. Lived in a small one movie hick town in Western PA. So worth the wait. Agreed with a fellow subscriber . . . Anthony Hopkins and Burgess Meredith were brilliant and should have won Academy Awards. To anyone reading this that hasn't watched the full movie, watch it. Sit back, relax and prepare to be disturbed by the story. Enjoy! Oh, and Happy Halloween.

I’m long overdue for a rewatch of this. It was filmed at my high school and surrounding area. Our little town welcomed Anthony Hopkins, Burgess Meredith, Ann-Margret, Sir Richard Attenborough , producer Joe Levine and their crew for a few weeks in late 1977.
