I like to give the benefit of the doubt, especially with indie films which are appreciated. Even though I watched this through till the end, to me it was painfully boring. Character development was fine, and yes the doll was creepy. (not the creepiest though, it wore out in ten minutes) I don't need blood and guts, or for it to be campy, but something was definitely missing from this movie. The song that was continually referenced in this film also had creep-factor but after a while it was more annoying then anything. I gave it 3 stars instead of one because I did appreciate the storyline, just the delivery was boring.
After several years of being separated from her dolls Kate finally has the chance to display them once again in her new home. As the Dolls arrive from storage they are unboxed and soon resume their dominance in the life of their owner. Is this an obsession or merely survival instincts? Is it a case of keep your family close and your dolls closer? The in-laws seem to have reservations about Kate's plan to adorn the nursery of the soon to arrive baby with this extensive collection. If they only knew the protection they afforded perhaps they would have a different opinion. Kate has a very special doll that her Grandma gave her known as her "protector." This is one creepy doll. But, when you've owned a doll since the day you were born you probably have no notion of the creep factor.
Speaking of creep factor, this film has a heaping helping. Not sure which is creepier the Dolls, the family, the long time friends of the family or the musical score? But it's all good… Kristine Renee Farley was perfectly cast in the role of Kate while Justin Michael Veazey was equal to the the task of sudden husband and expectant father. Add Jessica Cook (the old flame), Steve Hudgins (the concerned cousin), Cindy Maples and Randy Hardesty (as the all too close in-laws – that don't like to pry) and you have the makings of some Big Biting Pig Greatness! The entire cast performed brilliantly in this technically superior production. A creatively creepy work of art. A story that keeps on going long after the final credits roll – that's how you know PJ Woodside made it.
I recommend that you see this (probably with the lights on.)
