Alexandra Heller-Nicholas Fangoria Dorothy Mills brings to the fore a variety of threads we can see elsewhere in Merlet's work; distressed youth, dysfunctional societies, and a tendency to experiment with different genres, weaving them together to make her own unique vision Dec 13, 2021 Full Review Lucius Gore ESplatter "Dorothy Mills" is atmospheric and well acted, but too derivative to be memorable. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 26, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

nilufer e It was somewhat intriguing but mostly full of cliches. The acting was good though and I think I didn't understand all of it. It was just 'meh', I was fooled by the poster; it looked scary. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 41 minutes, meant to give the creeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Basically if M Night Shyamalan's 'Spilt' had a special needs Irish cousin. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member "It's like a modern day 'Exorcist'" proclaims the DVD box. No, it's not. More like an Irish version of "Sybil." For some unexplainable reason, I'm reminded of "The Daisy Chain," another portrait of a disturbed little girl in Ireland. Unlike that movie however, "Dorothy Mills" has a strong performance (or should I say, "performances") from the actress playing it's title character. The line between scientific fact and paranormal phenomena does get blurred in an interesting way. Overall, not a bad little movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A Little Gem to be Discovered--Not a typical possession flick!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very original, well scripted and several plot twists. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
