October 25: A Horror Film about a Killer Doll (That’s not Chucky or the Puppet Masters)
Directed by William Mims (who was in the art department for The Beastmaster and produced and shot plenty of swimsuit videos) and written by Sidney Mims, Death Doll has a poster that promises Chucky and a film that delivers near-giallo.
Young widow Trish (Andrea Walters) is being stalked and asks her brother-in-law Dillon (William Dance) to help her. It turns out that someone keeps leaving a doll behind and she keeps finding it, which as you can imagine freaks her out. Those same dolls are being left at crime scenes.
There’s also a fortune telling machine that absolutely terrified me on film and if I ever saw it in person, I would run the other way. It also has a doll inside it and can tell when your palm isn’t facing the right way. When your hand does, it tells you just how screwed you are and how doom is coming for you. No thanks. Weird dolls and strange future reading mechanical devices? I’m real good with not being around any of that.
You can watch this on YouTube.
