not horrible nor great
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreWell, what do I have to say about this flick. The storyline is very simple. A guy killing his love because she cheated on him makes a doll out of her. But the doll pops up everywhere and everybody who comes in contact with it dies. We have seen that before but here it is a kind of soft core flick. I wouldn't file it under horror. yes, there is blood but it's the doll that makes the movie, she's always naked but when she comes alive she's naked too, so you know were I'm getting at, a lot of T&A and a some full frontal nudity. But the movie has a bitter story surrounding it. The doll is played by Romi Koch. I dare you to google her, you will find nothing except the fact that she died just after this movie. No birth date or anything will pop up on the net about her. So that's a bit weird. This is her first and final movie. I have seen that there is a lot of negativity about Dead Doll but I have seen worse. Okay, the T&A does make you watch but it isn't that bad after all. The other actress, Lorielle New, well, you can see her in the fake trailer of "Werewolf Women Of The SS" on the grindhouse edition of Planet Terror and Death Proof. If you really like movies about manikin's and dead girls well watch Dead Girl. But start with this one as a teaser.
View MoreAlthough it wasn't quite horrible enough to make my list of the ten worst movies of all time, "Dead Doll" sure tried hard to make the cut. The technical quality and production values were actually pretty good, but there is no reason, compelling or otherwise, for anything that happens in the film past the initial murder which we are shown via flashback ad nauseam. The characters are simply motivated out of the blue. It wasn't funny. It wasn't scary. It seems to be a vehicle to show Romi Koch's tits as many times as possible. The only way I could describe it to someone who really was interested in knowing is as a chain of events involving a bunch of sick and sad people all driven by the mere presence of the doll to do things that no rational person would consider - and do nothing very interesting at all in the process. The logic flaws in the story not-withstanding, and the inevitable continuity errors that plague through-out, this was just dumb. The misogynistic adolescent wet-dream of an abuse sufferer. My sympathies to anyone who spent actual cash on this one.
View MoreIf you have are tired of the increasing boredom that ships with movies from Hollywood nowadays this is for you; there are no mister-nice-guy or sane persons in this movie. Depending on your taste it is either comical or terrifying; if you go for the first you are in for some hilarious scenes. The story circles around a lifelike doll that previously happened to be the girlfriend of a paranoid doll-maker, who killed her after she threatened to leave him. The doll continuously goes from one owner to another, but not without leaving a bloody trail behind her that results from the attraction she has on people. Everyone in this movie is messed up in a way, be it the creator of the doll who is somewhat paranoid or the cosmetic surgeon that kills a patient and eats what-ever part of him. To summarize: this is an highly original, comical (in the black humor sense), bizarre movie that is a must for those who are tired of 'normal' ones.
View MoreWell i suppose the story could have been interesting, but since there were amateurs involved through the whole movie; from the director to probably the craft service team, this movie shows it. Only thing that mattered was probably the breast shots here and there, otherwise, expect nothing but terrible acting, and badly chosen shots. I'm guessing this director is NOT a film-maker. I would even bet that the actors didn't even show up for their own premier, thats how bad this flick is. Embarrassed most likely, and would gladly erase this section of their lives. At a certain point in most movies , I suppose people go and use the restrooms, this probably never made it to theaters, so I was forced to chat with a telemarketer. I think I ended up buying some vacuum cleaner with super sucking power. I would have loved to break this DVD in a million pieces , and test the vacuum, since it was a rental, my super-sucking machine will have to wait.
