OK. i watched this movie just today with my friend Irene and my sister Jessica. when the movie started it was obvious it was a low budget movie. we rented it and thought that it would be a scary movie because the back said something totally different from the movie and looked scary. the tacky music and the Chinese writing was.. totally wrong. it didn't even go good with the movie. I Don't think anything will go good with this movie. i honestly hated it. i laughed throughout the whole movie! and the part where Dave falls out of the window with the doll... wow. can you say bad graphics!? it showed a BARBIE DOLL flying through the air. i mean. dude. I Couldn't stop laughing. this movie was weird. and every time it said somebodies name... that person has sex with the doll. i mean. man o man this movie is not scary at all. it is a horrible comedy. and man o man. ha-ha wow i still cant stop laughing.

The technical quality and production values were actually pretty good, but there is no reason, compelling or otherwise, for anything that happens in the film past the initial murder which we are shown via flashback ad nauseam. The characters are simply motivated out of the blue. It wasn't funny. It wasn't scary. It seems to be a vehicle to show Romi Koch's tits as many times as possible. The only way I could describe it to someone who really was interested in knowing is as a chain of events involving a bunch of sick and sad people all driven by the mere presence of the doll to do things that no rational person would consider - and do nothing very interesting at all in the process. The logic flaws in the story not-withstanding, and the inevitable continuity errors that plague through-out, this was just dumb. The misogynistic adolescent wet-dream of an abuse sufferer. My sympathies to anyone who spent actual cash on this one.
... View MoreBoy did I get ripped off here! I get the feeling that when they were making this film they had planned to make a serious horror, and after watching it, they knew, to save face, they would have to promote it as a dark comedy.Its not either! Its rubbish! I felt robbed that I had spent $15 Aussie Dollars to buy it, but then I thought about how the financial backers of this film would have felt when they saw it! The only redeeming feature was that it went for 78 minutes. I feel sorry for you guys who had to sit through 91 minutes of it! Mind you Romi Koch gets naked a fair bit, thats always a good thing....
... View MoreThis movie isn't so bad especially since they didn't mess it up with CGI effects, puppets are eternally greater. Romi Koch is beautiful but her voice is kind of irritating. The movie is too fast paced to be boring and it doesn't get spoiled by lame acting. Surprisingly enough, the actors here never really failed to deliver what their characters should be. It's not that weird either, not too gory, but isn't predictable enough to be boring. I believe it even has scenes wherein it makes you think "this" happened but after a few minutes you'll really know what really happened. Romi Koch totally looks like a mannequin or a doll, I wonder how much she really weighs???:) I was surprised the country of it's origin is USA, I was watching it and thinking it was filmed somewhere in Europe. Overall I give this movie 6 stars, its not so bad...and bestows a lot to its genre.
