Black Devil Doll from Hell (1984)

the audience applauded

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I have spent a rather disproportionate amount of my life seeking out bad, obscure, horrific, insane, and exploitative film/video trash. That being said, this incredible movie occupies a very special spot in my Heart. No movie I have EVER sat thru even comes close to the sheer, mind-numbing ineptitude on display here. ..From the amazing trance-inducing Casio excreted soundtrack, to the unparalleled videography on display, 'Black Devil Doll From Hell' truly stuns...If you can actually sit thru this entire movie in one sitting whilst sober(I was able to once), you should be given some sort of award. The proceedings crawl along at the pace of a Quallude-ridden slug...Do not let that deter you from cinema-history. Some of the hottest love scenes ever committed to celluloid (oh wait, this is video), await the daring viewer. I will not reveal anymore. Hearing about the content of this movie is absolutely no substitute for actually witnessing it...If you consider yourself to be a connoisseur of the bizarre, the bad, and the trashy; there is no excuse for not running out and acquiring this masterpiece. I obtained mine via Ebay for a mere $10- It was the best $10 I have ever spent in my entire life. I would gladly pay $500 for this incredible Masterwork. Stop what you are doing right now and GET THIS MOVIE!

Shot on video monstrosity about a repressed deeply religious black woman who buys a ventriloquist dummy with dreadlocks that happens to be possessed. The Dummy seduces her and then takes her over turning her into a sex fiend.As they say you have to see it to believe it. Obviously the intent was to make a serious film about the fall from grace, yadda yadda yadda, but the result is painful, Mostly because scenes run on and on and on with no end in sight. We get a long phone conversation while the camera pans around the house showing all the religious items in it. The opening credits take almost 7 minutes of screen time (thats about one tenth the length of the film). The music is awful. And the sex scenes...well did you ever want to know what it would look like if Charlie Mc Carthy ever managed to marry a real live girl? Yea, me neither. This is a painful film that is only recommended for seasoned bad movie lovers or mental patients, preferably people who are both. This walks that fine line between MST3K good bad and mind destroying bad.You've been warned.

My fiancée and I like to watch bad movies. It's an addiction, you see. We watch bad films, searching for the worst of the worst just so we can inflict them on unsuspecting friends. To heck with the Geneva convention.Thanks to our hunt for the perfect bad film, my eyes have been forced to undergo trauma akin to that inflicted upon the victims of Nazi death camps. I have seen Tattoo from Fantasy Island have sex with an older redhead on a dinner table. I have seen Jesus Christ fight vampire lesbians in Canada. I have memorized a long tirade against the evils of grapes. I have seen a man walk through a ballroom full of zombies with a running lawnmower held out from his chest. I have seen gay black aliens remove the scourge of womankind from the earth. I have seen a Leprechaun do things very unLeprechaunlike, if boxes of Lucky Charms are to be believed. NOTHING on EARTH is worse than Black Devil Doll From Hell. NOTHING. The other posters aren't kidding - this film was shot on NO budget through a VHS Camcorder. If the "director" decided to buy his cast a six-pack of beer, this could be considered the first movie with a NEGATIVE budget. The horror comes from watching it. No joke - it's so foully painful that I can't imagine ANYONE watching this movie without rubbing their heads to relieve the overwhelming urge to turn off their television and smash it into pieces with a hammer. Here's your first spoiler: A devout Christian woman buys a Rick James doll from a store, takes it home and is raped by it. It then disappears while she has sex with two more men. She finds it at the store again, and re-purchases it. It kills her.Second spoiler: THERE IS NO SECOND SPOILER.I'm going to go take a few thousand showers now to wash away the filth covering my body, having freshly watched this abomination.

Anyone that doesn't understand how amazing this film is shouldn't have the right to comment on it. Who else but Chester N. Turner could have pulled off such a hilarious and shocking film gem with no budget what so ever. I challenge any one out there to pick up a video camera and shoot your own movie and see if you have the talent to make anything this memorable. I guarantee you or your favorite well-known filmmakers can't. Give Spielberg or Scorsese no money to make a movie and what ever they make will be less memorable then this. Once you watch this movie it will be embedded in your brain for the rest of your life. This is a no-budget film classic. All hail Chester N. Turner.
