When small-town teen Dorothy Mills (Jenn Murray) tries to kill an infant, everyone agrees that something is wrong with her, but no one is quite sure what. Expert psychologist Jane Van Dopp (Carice van Houten) travels to the remote community to investigate and quickly determines that the girl is schizophrenic, but local clergyman Pastor Ross (Gary Lewis) believes that Satan is possessing the girl. When Dorothy makes a startling revelation about Jane's own past, things get even eerier.

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

"Dorothy Mills" is atmospheric and well acted, but too derivative to be memorable.

Rated: 2.5/4

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

Basically if M Night Shyamalan's 'Spilt' had a special needs Irish cousin.

"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.
