It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Not only is the plot idiotic and the racial stereotyping painful to watch, but the acting is putrid, the direction inept and the special effects ... well: they're "special" all right. Avoid this one like plague unless you either want to learn how NOT to make a film, or you're really toasted. There are also a few notable continuity issues. The lighting is awful (the background changes colours several times during several scenes). In a number of shots that are supposed to be scary, the camera is badly out of focus ... when it is not jiggling. It is really hard to believe that this thing was actually shot on film, because the resolution seems so bad, but that is probably the result of the combination of bad camera-work, bad lighting and using a photo kiosk in a car park somewhere to process the film.

BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL, is one of those films that fit into a category of abysmal, but watchable. Watchable for all the wrong reasons that is. When a devoutly religious women, purchases a black doll, with dreadlocks, from a thrift store, a doll which the store owner says always returns to the store under its own powers, the women intrigued takes the doll home, yet isn't prepared for what happens, when the doll comes to life and attacks her, ties her to a bed and rapes her. Rather than being traumatised by the rape, the women ends up liking it and throws her religious convictions out of the window, and since the doll has gone she searches for another man who can fulfil her unwanted sexual desires, though this is unsuccessful and she longs for the 'black devil doll.' Never before have i sat through a film and looked on in amazement, at the shoddy production, wooden, more like very wooden acting and awful keyboard soundtrack, that sounds like someone has just brought a new keyboard and is trying it out for the first time, oh and the keyboard soundtrack also is so loud and interfering that it makes some scenes hard to understand what the characters are saying. Its the lowest end of Blaxploitation and is crudely politically incorrect, yet oddly watchable and in times of political correctness, there's seems something refreshing in seeing something so bad, that it ascends or many ways transcends to a sort of transgressive style of underground trash cinema. In many respects it would work as a great film to watch under the influence of alcohol or any other substance. A funny and abysmal little film, well worth seeking out, if you want to see what a zero budget film, with no money and terrible soundtrack can achieve. Ed Wood would be proud!!

This is the best worst movie ever. You will be laughing so hard that your eyes well up with tears. The story is bizarre, the acting is atrocious and the special effects are amazingly bad. The doll's voice is awesome! It is a husky growl coming from the smiling face of a doll. How could you not love that? The director is some kind of genius. How did he know that people love watching dolls rape and murder humans?Another thing that is fun about this movie is seeing all the amateur mistakes like neighborhood kids waving to the camera in the background, unnecessarily long amounts of time spent filming an old lady walking slowly, scenes of same old lady shopping for stolen TVs from the back of people's cars, etc. You know, things that have nothing to do with devil dolls.If you find a copy, do not ever give it up; you will regret it. I watched this back in early college and I can't get it out of my head 10 years later. Get a big group of friends in a goofy mood and enjoy.

The plot of "Black Devil Doll from Hell" is fairly simple:a foul-mouthed ventriloquist dummy terrorizes a defenseless religious zealot.Helen Black,a prim and deeply religious woman,buys a strange doll in a curio shop.The shop's owner tells her that the doll has been purchased four different times,and each time it has found its way back to the shop.Soon the Helen is thrown into a nightmare as the doll begins to terrorize her...Wow,this piece of blacksploitation sleaze is completely abysmal.The acting is horrible,the score is incredibly awful and there is no gore.The special effects are some of the worst I have ever seen.Still the lengthy sex scene between Helen and a doll is hilarious.That sequence,with the puppet(obviously controlled by a guy shaking it off-screen)humping this plump but ecstatic Bible-thumper had me laughing so hard I was crying.The action drags tremendously,with most scenes going on for way too long and others being totally unnecessary.Overall,a must-see for fans of trash cinema.
