Dollface

Every year my dad gets my siblings and I a bad movie to watch. This year, it was this movie. The lead actress (I think the only female in the whole movie), doesn't even say ONE WORD. Everyone can read her mind, I guess. Fast forward 95% of the film. Did all of these people think this movie was a good idea?

I have been watching movies now for about 68 years and all I can say is that I haven't seen a film this strange since "Eraser Head". I ran across this film as a Blu-Ray in A Dollar Tree store for$1.25 and decided to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised by its creativity and bizarre trappings. The opening introduces two lawyers that come across as used car salesmen than legal advisors. Then you meet the main character whose name is Marmalade and who never speaks but we can hear her speaking. A condo full of creepy dolls and puppets that seem to do strange things at night. An even creepier doll fixer who just happens to be a homeless guy with phone who works for the lawyers per deceased grandma's contract. A whacked-out Psychotherapist who is of no use to anybody. All in all, the movie is entertaining and keeps your attention. But in the end, you will be asking yourself "What the hell did I just watch?"

Oh my good god this was so bad, wow! The lead actress who clearly didn't speak English, didn't actually say a single line, she just mimed out her scenes without even moving her mouth and someone else spoke over them, but they were presented in the scenes as if it was normal and people were talking to her which of course didn't work for a second and so the whole thing was full of awkward and stunted scenes with a big what the hell is going on factor! It was so boring and just beyond cheap, I kept starting to nod off as there was nothing happening, just a girl weirdly talking to all kinds of dolls that she inherited, and to their credit some of those dolls did look a little creepy, but you can't make a movie around that, it makes me miss the old days of movies like Puppet Master, and Trilogy of Terror, B-movies some might say, but at least real movies with spooky atmospheres and some genuinely chilling scenes, this film void just sucked so bad, it was insulting, I hope whoever's doll museum they borrowed was deeply offended by how their prize collection was so poorly used. Lol oh my heavens it's so terrible you'll be laughing like a crazy person would after a while, I was! What a complete painful mess I frankly can't believe they had the guts to put it out there for unfortunate people to see as it's not a film it's an elaborate home movie with dolls, don't bother there's really nothing to see like almost literally, it's background noise you don't have to listen to at best, whooee!

Its that insane 2021 and they are still making movies like this that look like a high school project gone wrong.

This movie was shot on a very thigh budget of 200$ for sure, very bad well everything from acting to FX.....

Avoid at all cost.

What can I say... I love a good campy thriller movie! If you've got a bottle of wine and an hour to kill, it's a fun watch. Makes bold choices. And the girl in it is pretty good.
