Instant Favorite.
Excellent adaptation.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
My mom told me about this movie and said that it was pretty creepy, with several twists throughout. I decided to give it a shot as both my mother and I are horror movie fanatics. I regret taking my time to watch. First off, the doll on the cover isn't even remotely close to the one in the movie, which reminded me of a voodoo Chucky doll. The "witch" in the film (was she even really there, who can say) was neither creepy nor important to the story line; that in itself was confusing because it spanned across three different time periods, none of which seemed to matter much. Honestly, I would have rated higher had the movie ended with the first story, the one talked about in the description of the film on Amazon. However, it was slow and dull, and made me cringe frequently. I understand it's a low-budget film, but even those can be worthy of high reviews creators put in the effort.Just watch Annabelle Creation. Creepy doll? Check. Decent reviews? Check. Simon from Frasier? Check.
It was a cheap copy of Annabelle. Acting was really really bad, the doll was everything but scary. Storyline was confusing. I don't recommend at all. This movie is very cringy. I laughed a lot with the doll's face.
Curse Of The Witch's Doll is an odd film, it's set across three generations and arguably tells three connected stories. Trouble is they aren't connected in an interesting way and none of them are even remotely enjoyable.We see a woman during the 1940's fleeing the bombings with her daughter, a psychologist with a horrifying secret and your usual ghost hunters investigating an abandoned asylum.The one thing I will say is that the doll in question is genuinely scary, that thing is deeply disturbing which begs the question why they use a different one on the front cover.It's about half way through when it all falls apart, you can pinpoint the exact moment. Don't get me wrong it wasn't going anywhere special anyway, but it was at least heading for something generic instead of the mess it wound up as.Curse Of The Witch's Doll is notable only for the doll itself, nothing else is memorable or entertaining.The Good:That doll is horrifyingThe Bad:Cover art is deceptiveFalls apart irreparablyPoorly constructedThings I Learnt From This Movie:We need a spinoff from this with that doll, made by different people who know what they're doing.
Adeline Gray (Helen Crevel) and her daughter Chloe (Layla Watts) go to live in a safe manor away from the bombings in England 1942. The place is owned by Arthur Harper (Philip Ridout). Adeline and her daughter see and hear an ugly doll, we see briefly in the first scene as belonging to an accused witch in 1660. We get a twist at about an hour, one that has been done too many times, although I didn't see it coming. The film wasn't very scary. The witch wasn't developed and neither was the doll. I assumed it was simple revenge against all of mankind 350 years later. Dialogue was dry and characters didn't grab me. Guide: caught 1 F-word. No sex or nudity.
