Voodoo Bayou | A Short Film by Javier Gutiérrez

Voodoo Bayou is the oddball tale of a Voodoo doll that springs to life after being stung by an electrified mosquito. Then, after discovering that he's been used for evil purposes, decides to escape... but it won't be easy, since his master, a mysterious witch doctor, will not stop chasing him until he's back in the villain's wrinkled hands.
