Mandy the Doll

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

Absolute waste of time. The entire premise of this film is absurd, start to finish . The professional "robbers" are staking out a generic looking middle class home. One which is chock full of home made granny afghans and junk jewelry from Claire's gifts, a la the local mall. I found this to be very distracting and irritating, throughout. If they were bothering to fund and shoot a film, they could have made the slightest effort with the set design. The "loot" they're supposed to be stealing (& fencing to a third party, bc it's so valuable) has the appearance of useless junk items that have zero intrinsic value. Plus, the acting is terrible, and the plot is just as bad. There are zero scares in this movie, nor dark humor, or anything else positive. Just a heap of silly nonsense...

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

Good photography and editing, music often did not work with the scenes, motion of the doll ruined the creepy affect of the film. Wooden acting, and the action scenes in the end were pitiful. If it had been played in a theater it would have emptied the room in short order. Nice try on the film makers part but a very amateur film.

If you like nothing happening for a long time, if you like two short movies suddenly being in the main movie but also being bad, and if you like one actor inexplicably being unable to be heard for a good chunk of time boy do I have the movie for you.

I'm giving it a couple bonus stars for the funny part where they drop a camera off a balcony and then a lady lays down in the grass and we're supposed to think she fell off the balcony. It's a very funny scene.

Other than that, though, it's not funny, it's not scary, and it's not good by any stretch of the imagination. Give this one a hard pass .
