Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Nigel P Opening with a promisingly bloody scenario of serial killer Henry murmuring his unstable anxieties into his slight collection of 'worry dolls', this film soon evaporates into comparative blandness. That's the problem with strong beginnings – the rest has then got to match up.Detective Matt who finally rids the world of Henry for some reason takes the 'worry dolls' with him in the back of his car. Why do something so unprofessional? So his young daughter Chloe can then inadvertently get hold of them, of course.'OMG, they're so coowaal', say the brightly smiling young things browsing 'Chloe's Collection' where she exhibits these and other home-made charms. Sadly, the spirit of Henry, instilled into these novelty items, causes whomever owns them to lose their minds and kill their loved ones.Chloe, who is afraid of dogs, stabs to death her family's Doberman (why does the family keep such a pet if the daughter is afraid of them?). She then, Exorcist-like, descends into a blank-eyed trance. Hunky Detective Matt seeks the help of occultist Della who says that as the pure innocent, Chloe needs to be relieved of the dolls – even though they are no longer in her possession. Della is played by Tina Lifford, who invests the part with such weird intensity, she may well be the most interesting character in the film. A shame that her inclusion is such a brief one.The rest of the cast, sad to say, including Christopher Wiehl as Matt (who co-wrote this) are not very interesting at all. It's impossible to sympathise with the Detective, whose daughter is, after all, possessed, because there is scant personality there. Likewise other characters, including those who pick up the various dolls and are therefore doomed fail to ignite much feelings of loss. Also, the suburban blandness of most of the locations stifles any atmosphere. A competent thriller with a few gallons of blood thrown in for good measure.
seanmcliberal I was going to give this flick a 4, but then realized I paid $6.99 on Amazon Fire TV to rent this shiz. Maybe that is what somewhat compelled me to take the time to review this movie. **Spoilers Galore*** The acting only becomes funny 3/4 of the film is once you realize how bad it's been the whole time. I encourage you to only watch this film if you are under the influence of substances. The casting was interesting. You have the butch cop side kick and the sorta dad-bod hottie cop dude walk around like they're in X-Files with their badges, guns, and handicaps on their belts everywhere they go. The male actor tries to go all Gerard Butler the whole time, but nobody is buying it. The killing scenes were not spectacular, which can always be somewhat redeeming for a horror flick with a poor plot and bad acting. Oh, and I forgot there are some possessed dolls. An angry black Guatemalan women goes completely cultural and talks about how they're worry dolls on steroids. This was unnecessary as it makes the serial killer's past role irrelevant. This movie wrecked a good hour and a half of my life. I would like not to type any further. In the end..I have read this movie to filth and written a troll-like review. Please enjoy the following feature.
gavin6942 In the aftermath of the hunt for a serial killer, an ancient curse consumes a city, causing a series of brutal murders and pitting a detective against the clock to save his daughter's life.The film opens in a very gritty, dirty place – even if you know it's just a movie, you feel a little bit repulsed. Soon, we establish the locale… a swampy delta, probably near New Orleans. Even the inhabited buildings look abandoned. This is an ideal place to make a horror film or thriller. But unfortunately, it goes downhill fast after the opening scene.The highlight after that? The casting of Brea Grant. And as far as films with "worry dolls" go, at least it is better than the one made by Full Moon. But that really is not saying much, as just about every movie out there is better than what Full Moon has to offer.Generally, IFC Midnight releases excellent films. How they got mixed up in this one is beyond me. But two out of three in recent months is still a good record.
drk-96503 Single point and one line story. Universal phenomenon.. Very common point.. Not well written Not well executed. Not creepy. No jumps.. No Gore.. No horror. Story just goes on like that. Its like Tom and Jerry.. You know tom hates Jerry and Jerry hates tom..its similar kind of movie.You can understand from the scene one what happens next. nothing unpredictable.. Every scene will be our cup of tea. If really have nothing to do then only watch this movie or even better if you ignore this..I hate simple kind of Horror flicks. One can search and can watch movies like Dabbie. Exorcist.. Horror means honestly must be true horror.. not just like a makeup kind of movies..Don't need to lipstick for creating Gore on screen.
