The Doll

Everything about this movie was terrible. In fact it was so terrible, I can't fathom it having any good reviews. Casting the human barbie, Valeria Luckyanova, as a doll is an interesting concept but the execution just wasn't there.

You know when you read reviews of movies and you're like, "okay, it can't really be THAT bad..."?

Welllll folks, this one is THAT bad. Horrible acting from literally the entire cast. The audio is terrible, there are small noises throughout the entire movie that shouldn't be there (i.e. Microphones rubbing things) the audio is off between different scenes and cast members. The writing is so awful and unbelievable. There are so many plot holes. Jumps and weird gaps in scenes that don't make sense. The makeup and special effects are insanely awful.

You should assume anyone who is rating this movie more than 2 stars is trolling you.

Don't waste your time.

A "horror" movie with almost no scares and actors that can barely even make their enjoyment at making out with attractive women believable. Watched it for "free" with a relative's Amazon Prime and still felt ripped off. At least most low budget horror movies try to make up for it by throwing a couple buckets of blood around, but there is not a ton gore in this movie. And what there is is not terribly well done. The titular "doll" spends most of the movie creepily staring, creepily rocking in a rocking chair or creepily and gently bonking her head against walls, windows, etc. Not exactly what nightmares are made of. At least the various actors/characters are so annoying and unlikeable that you are glad when they're killed off. The plot, of course, is thinner than tissue paper and with no redeeming factors to elevate it in any way. 2 rating for the audacity of the director to actually get people to cough up money to make this turkey. Please don't waste your time.

(And yeah....the director doesn't even go the distance to make the pentagrams correctly)

Any review of this movie above a 1 must be suspect. Either they didn't see it or it's their first movie ever and have no standards to base a good movie on.

The acting is non-existent, the story is incomprehensible, and everyone just plods around the house such that if you watch it at 3x speed it looks like they're moving normally. Incidentally, if you watch it at 3x speed, it's only 27 minutes long which is what the running time should be.

I could not give this a letter grade, instead I'd say "Incomplete", and everyone knows the worst thing you can see on a transcript is an "Incomplete."

Acting, scenario, realism and tension zero. It's just a movie made to bring the woman playing the doll role to the fore. It's a pity.
