BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL, is one of those films that fit into a category of abysmal, but watchable. Watchable for all the wrong reasons that is. When a devoutly religious women, purchases a black doll, with dreadlocks, from a thrift store, a doll which the store owner says always returns to the store under its own powers, the women intrigued takes the doll home, yet isn't prepared for what happens, when the doll comes to life and attacks her, ties her to a bed and rapes her. Rather than being traumatised by the rape, the women ends up liking it and throws her religious convictions out of the window, and since the doll has gone she searches for another man who can fulfil her unwanted sexual desires, though this is unsuccessful and she longs for the 'black devil doll.' Never before have i sat through a film and looked on in amazement, at the shoddy production, wooden, more like very wooden acting and awful keyboard soundtrack, that sounds like someone has just brought a new keyboard and is trying it out for the first time, oh and the keyboard soundtrack also is so loud and interfering that it makes some scenes hard to understand what the characters are saying. Its the lowest end of Blaxploitation and is crudely politically incorrect, yet oddly watchable and in times of political correctness, there's seems something refreshing in seeing something so bad, that it ascends or many ways transcends to a sort of transgressive style of underground trash cinema. In many respects it would work as a great film to watch under the influence of alcohol or any other substance. A funny and abysmal little film, well worth seeking out, if you want to see what a zero budget film, with no money and terrible soundtrack can achieve. Ed Wood would be proud!!
