Riley is a doll maker and after Riley's girlfriend breaks
up with him he decides to make her into a sex doll. Well,
Riley's not the only one who believes that the doll's
alive, everyone that meets the doll seems to fall in love
with it. Is it really just a doll? And why does it seem as
if it brings bad luck to everyone that sees it?
After having seen such brilliant movies like May and Love
Object, Dead Doll feels like an unoriginal and honestly,
relatively pathetic low budget rip-off. As you can tell by
the plot, there's really not a lot of plot in this, it's
basically just different men having sex with a sex doll
and then dying so that the doll passes on to someone else.
Does it get more repetitive than that? Nothing ever happens
and the little plot that exists is so damn horrible that
it's not interesting for one second.
While both May and Love Object only had a little black
humour in them, Dead Doll tries to survive on black humour
and instead that just makes the entire thing worse.
I really can't see anyone with a healthy mind laughing
at this rubbish.
The directing is relatively good and makes the movie
bearable for a while, which is really the reason to why
I didn't give this the lowest rating possible even if
based on the plot it deserves a big fat 0. The acting
is also totally okay even if the girl that plays the
doll got on my nerves numerous times.
You know, Lions Gate seems to be buying any crap these
days. It's nice that they give low budget horror flicks
a chance but after they bought out Artisan Entertainment
things have gotten so much worse, they have practically
become the new Artisan, buying rubbish flicks and giving
them a kick-ass DVD cover to trick any sucker into buying
them. At the end of the day, Dead Doll has got to be
one of the worst flicks Lions Gate has released so far,
avoid this one and check out Love Object instead.
We get a lot of blood splatter but not a whole lot more
than that unfortunately, it didn't even really feel
like a horror flick for most of the time.
I've got one word for you. Violins. The streaky violins
that fill this soundtrack are nice for the first 20
minutes but towards the end you can't help getting
sick of them, everything's just too repetitive.
Dead Doll is yet another DTV rubbish flick to come out
from Lions Gate Entertainment. I'm rapidly losing fate
in that company. If you want to see a good horror flick
about a sex doll, buy Love Object, Dead Doll isn't
worth your time, or your money.
