10 minutes in with the fan blowing paper around and the psychic walking like Frankenstein talking like Linda Blair was definitely a NO for me! This is the worst British cast movie ever!!!
Worst film and acting I have ever seen, you get far better performances in any school play than this.... it was so cringy that I had to switch it off after shaking my head in disbelief during the first half. Do not waste your time.
I tend to ask myself, have the british filmakers totally forgotten how to make film of horrors? the ''doll house'' is yet an example of amateur filmaking, slow burning non horrific acting, terrible plot and a so worn out way of storytelling. there is a devil in the house, but in which house.....
its a lot of muteness in this feature, but it is so overdramaticized that it wont gag to engagement, with lots of flashbacking, and sound effects used in the 70's the exorcist,its so lame and low on quality, i cant believe it.
the grumpy old man doesnt recommend.

Wow oh Wow was this an experience or what?!? I mean how is it possible that such a script was approved and developed is beyond me, and anyone who has seen a horror production before will completely agree.
Sure, a small budget has a huge impact on a movie, it takes a lot of cutbacks, lack of quality and so on, but come on, first of all, the real problem is the plot. Already used far too many times, we get to see the same old formula with some pretty weird scenes. Lots and plenty of such actions on screen that make little sense, others as cringy as they get and some simply and sadly, laughable. Of course I appreciate indie horror, every actor/director has to start somewhere, building up, but at least start from ground 0 and not so underground. I don't think that a movie like Doll House can count as experience, because it is a complete fail, so if the people involved in the making of it managed to learn from this mistake, then just maybe something good did come out of it.
As the other reviews said, a bad little movie sadly, and definitely not something to recommend.
Cheers!

The summary of this UK movie sounded intriguing - a girl moves into a foster home with a doll she couldn't be without, and strange things take place as a result. But what really takes place is some very awful acting. The actors lacked emotion and suspense, and some sounded as if they were reading off of a script. The psychic lady tried to be dramatic but fell flat on her face; the Heather girl couldn't be more stoic; the foster kid was annoying; and the maintenance guy was just too weird to be weird. I can't help but think they were theatre school students who haven't overcome their amateur status.
I agree with one reviewer's comment stating this movie looked like it was filmed using a handheld camera. The music sounded haunting but was out-of-place for the movie scenes. The plot was slow. Just about everything about this movie was bad.
Grade F.
