Mandy the Doll

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.

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 .

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

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.

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.
