Fantastic!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
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.
This was a good movie until about the last 10 minutes or so. I was hoping to see the reason behind the doll being cursed, although you get just a glimpse of it in the beginning of the movie. There are two twist you don't expect, the first one was good, I thought the movie was going to get even better from there, then the writer blacked out came to and rushed the ending by writing a ridiculous (75 Years Later) 'lets go check out the asylum that just closed down' ending that had no substance. The ending just left you hanging, what a disappointment.
