Charlotte

This is a very very special movie. I am a fan of bad movies. Like most fans of bad movies I know that there is a scale of quality, it starts at genuinely good, then just bad, and then finally so bad that it is good. This movie never even flirted with being good, it skipped past being just bad, and somehow attained a whole new level that I was unaware of until now. So bad that it causes an existential crises.

I watched this with my GF, who is also a fan of bad movies, and all that she could say afterward was "That movie really challenged my psyche."

I would have to agree.

About halfway through watching the movie I found myself floating a few feet above my body, watching myself watch Charlotte. I then had an out of body experience, out of that out of body experience, where I watched myself, watching myself watch Charlotte. This cycle continued until my mind completely shattered. I do believe that my mental state is irreparably damaged by this movie, the bright side being that I believe I can now qualify for disability, although I worry that having seen Charlotte may count as a pre-existing condition.

The one brightside to this movie is that it did restore my faith in God, because this can only be the result of divine retribution for our sins.

It's stories are short and too the point. Some I wish were more fleshed out coz they had, what I'd considered to be, good premises. I found myself questioning so much throughout this movie but I was entertained. Each story is 5 to 10 minutes ...if even. Like the ABC's of death but more horror focused.

I don't normally write reviews but I was compelled with this one. This movie is about a doll who holds hostage and tortures a teen babysitter, forcing her to watch an anthology of movies whilst being tied up. The acting throughout is so bad and none of the stories make any sense? I kept watching hoping they would tie together somehow, but instead I realised sadly it's time I'll never get back. Instead I was left scratching my head in bemusement and wishing I'd watched paint dry instead!

Charlotte was a way to waste an hour and half while wondering what kind of stuff the movie was going to show next. I was hoping it was going to surprise me with turning into a B-horror, but it kept dropping lower every time I got excited thinking it was getting better.

The main story is that a babysitter is being slowly messed with by a doll. The doll is showing the babysitter movies while other changes are happening.

The audience gets to see snippets of what is happening to the babysitter, just enough to figure out what is going on. And the movie mostly focuses on the one-shots that the doll is "showing" the babysitter. You see the babysitter, a movie, the babysitter, a movie, and so on.

The whole doll thing is lame. And the first story is muffled at times. Some stories I'd rate a B, some a C, and some - just lame. The acting is off or forced, and sometimes you can tell the actors are just having fun instead of completely in the story.

There are some scenes with a bit of blood, and one with a pinch of gore.

Overall though, it's a weird way to spend an hour and a half.

This movie is some sort of horror / comedy anthology movie centered around a doll.

It's not good tho. Altho there is one segment about 'cookies' that is mildly amusing for a moment.
