Mandy the Doll

This film has absolutely no redeeming features. It is so badly acted that it's excruciating, the camera work is amateurish, the music I don't remember it. So I give it 1 star, giving zero wasn't possible.

Not bad. Would've gave it a higher score, but the ending was absolutely retarded. But it was a decent funny movie.

Okay a slight plot variant from perhaps the standard haunted doll format.

-1 for not very convincing special effects / non-existent

-1 for really uninspiring dialogue / writing

Not even worth one star. Stupid movie waste of money crappy graphics not even close to scary

There are quite a few horror films of this type around - very low budget and low on gore. As independent films go, this is technically very good with some fairly convincing acting.

It isn't, however, very frightening. Dolls can often be unnerving. Mandy the doll is an unsettling looking prop, and efforts are made to give her a degree of apparent mobility; but she/it isn't quite enough to fill 90 minutes of film.

I'm glad films like this are made, and it's unfortunate that anything with a less-than-stellar budget gets slated for that very reason. What are you supposed to do if you have an idea for a film? Realise that you don't have access to millions of pounds, so you don't bother pursuing it? Director Jamie Weston and the cast and crew (including briefly, Louisa Warren who has directed a number of similar projects) should be commended for producing something they are passionate about. My score is 6 out of 10.
