The Doll (V) (2017)
2/10
Kids don't let this happen to your movie
20 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
My high rating of 2 stars is due to the cameo by Ron Jeremy. Otherwise there is no redeeming value in this movie. I would like to know who paid for the production of this mess, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale... I thought this was shlock horror but, it wasn't even that. Seven people are killed, the doll and the Russian scientist leave with a Styrofoam cooler full of organs. Even Frankenstein's monster had motivation and a back-story. Supernatural horror movies have their own mythology that they follow. I.E. werewolves can only be killed by silver bullets', a wooden stake for vampires.... We are never told what the doll is and why she kills. The dialog wouldn't pass muster in a comic book and the mechanics of the film are laughable. 1. Chris is a Tyler Derdin rip-off from "Fight Club. " He's unemployed, has no money, a criminal record and is living with his friend Andy. How is he able to regularly hire multiple hookers and own a Mercedes ? 2. Chris convinces Andy to hire an extended stay hooker to make is girlfriend jealous so she will come back to him. Does that seem plausible ? 3. The Doll / hooker shows up and neither guy has sex with her. That is typically the reason to hire hookers. 4. This happens over a couple of days during which the first two kill take place. These men aren't missed, nobody comes looking for them and the bodies weren't disposed of / hidden they just vanish. 5. Two of the hookers Chris had previously hired show up and decide to make out with each other in the Andy's pool. One says to the other this place has a creepy feeling to it, let's go make out in the back seat of Chris's Mercedes. They enter the garage with no body from the earlier kill. They are blitz attacked by the Doll and killed. This changes the Dolls M.O. from surprise attacks to direct assault. Two hookers vs. one Doll, they didn't fight back, the one that ran couldn't get out of an unlocked garage she had just entered. 6. The door to the attic has a problem in that sometimes it can be opened and other times it cannot. Possessed Chris has to open it with an axe for the final battle. Prior to this Andy's girlfriend, Shannon, was able to enter thru the same door and Chris was able to exit when he went to kill the Doll. 7. The Doll posses Shannon, same as she did to Chris in order to get him to kill Andy and Shannon. Why was Shannon possessed prior to being killed and disemboweled ? Shannon's organs were harvested, which seemed to be the goal of the film. Why were six other people killed ? None of this was explained. Susannah O'Brien you really need to work on your movie making skills.
