The Doll

I thought that the beginning was meh but from the middle to the end, it was very good for a low budget movie!

I liked this movie. Yes, The Doll is scary. Valeria Lukyanova is great in this movie, but honestly so is Anthony del Negro. The outwardly cold psychopath that Natasha turns out to be, in the movie is placed into the context of two ordinary kids who live together. Anthony goes through a breakup, gets dumped, and Natasha is pretty much terrifying. This movie is sort of like a serious attempt at making the Movie 43, with Emily Rose, into a horror film, if the lead actress was'The Human Barbie'. I think that The Doll might be the beginning of something wonderful! I'll tell you how I take my coffee, with Valeria Lukyanova in it.

I don't speak Chinese yet It's evident how hilariously bad the actors are. The script is so inept that it makes you laugh at how bad it is and the CG is on the level of Birdemic.

I would describe this as 'The Room' of the horror genre.

It's so bad whilst trying to treat it so serious that it because a barrel of laughs!

I think this movie was good and scary as it was supposed to be but I can't give it a higher rating than three and a half stars because some details of this movie looked so much like the life of Ed and Lorraine Warren from The Conjuring. And the doll itself maybe is a resemblance of Annabelle but I haven't watched it so I gotta watch it soon. Also I couldn't fully agree about Daniel's past deed that angered Uci the most. I think It should've just stop at the tree cutting.

Yes, there were Puppet Horror movies well before Annabelle and there will be more in the future. But this seems to be quite inspired by that universe (string of movies). Horror movies will be horror movies and either you like some of them no matter how much cliche is thrown into the mix or you will be utterly annoyed by watching.

Hide and seek is one thing, when your doll is playing that game with you, you should consider consulting someone who knows what is up. And while there are western influences as I already said, you can also see that it does have its own mythology when it comes to ghosts, respect for the dead and the other/under-world. There have been worse movies out there, but there have been way better horror movies too (and no that is not a pun for the sequel)
