Doll Boy – 2010

Doll Boy has a very shallow plot, possibly not worth mentioning. Well, of course, it is! It’s just that it can be described in just a few words. So it feels more appropriate to incorporate it into the text rather than use an entire paragraph in bold letters. The main thing about the flick isn’t really the deep plot anyway. We have all seen films where the main thing is to watch the killer kill his victims rather than a great character development. This is one of them! But the acting is quite nice and the killer’s mask is very creepy! He has some people locked up in this maze of tunnels that used to be a flea market of some sort. He terrorizes them by chasing them and killing them one at a time. That’s the whole thing really.

But as I said, the acting is good and the murder scenes are not bad either! There are some splats on the wall and things like that which add to the experience of watching it. Small details are often what makes a movie like this watchable. You can’t really make an interesting movie with such a shallow plot without adding something. In Doll Boy both the environment and the killer himself are very cool. Plus the actors as I already claimed a couple of times. There are also a couple of truly gruesome scenes – not necessarily filled with guts and gore – that make me feel kind of revolting inside. This happens for the first time in the opening sequence and that’s a good place to start making it interesting for us.

Since Doll Boy is just about half an hour long there’s really not enough time to add any suspense. But it’s still very exciting at times. I would be lying if I said it was all the time but as with most movies, it has its ups and downs. There are more positive things than negative things though and considering that this is “Bloody Bill’s” directional debut I’ll be very forgiving.

I’m not sure if the intro trailers are for real or fake but I must say that I need to see a flick called Mister Fister which is about a distraught killer obsessed with killing women in a certain particular way. I think you’ll figure out just how by the title! There’s also another one that seems very entertaining about cannibalistic clowns… God, I hope these are for real. That’ll put “Bloody Bill” up with some of the more deranged and sick directors out there! And I mean that in a good way! Just saying!
