Sorry, this movie sucks

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A Brilliant Conflict

The film takes 35 minutes to introduce the characters and get to the meat of the film. Special pond water turns human skin to wax turning them into manikins or puppets. Marino has an interest in dolls and becomes caught up in world of killing, blood, body parts, dolls, and a wedding dress. The film was more of a confused mash than horror.Guide: No sex or swearing. Realistic doll nudity. Attempted rape.

OK i've seen worse, by school kids =D this is utter sh*t. one point for the sounds that somebody normalized, and used OK mics. otherwise this film is done on dvcam, with lots of hand-held shots that look like my mother was on her holiday doing a little tourist filming.at points the music sounds like shopping TV stuff... it's that bad really, and it's not even funny.i didn't watch the whole film for apparent reasons... and did a lot of fast forwarding. ha ha... i've done quite a bit of filming, and i can tell you that me, and my beer buddies could do the same easily. when that is true then the movie can't be great =D=D=D (not to dis myself, but to be honest) stay away from this crap.

OK...you remember those movies in high school film classes? Remember the ones that tried really hard to be creepy and gory with ketchup and jump cuts? Those movies were TEN TIMES BETTER than this one. There is no telling what is going on at any point in the movie. This is for sure though: there's a girl, this guy kills girls and turns them into dolls, and the dolls come to life. I'm really disappointed, because being an avid horror fan who's always looking for a new and unique scare, I really thought this had potential. NO. The film work is juvenile at best, and the plot is so incoherent that it's difficult to even pay attention. You want a bottom line? Here's my advice: watch Puppetmaster.

Before you condemn this film to video hell, it's worth noting that it WAS an amateur film, I'm pretty sure it was a student film, inspired by the works of legendary horror manga artist Junji Ito. He worked with the kids on the movie also, but not in a big way.I personally felt this film was quite enjoyable, and weird enough to be interesting.Basically if you enjoyed other bizarre Japanese horror movies, and in particular the other films based on the works of Junji Ito then you'll probably like this one. Just don't expect production values equal to that of Uzumaki etc...
