Anton Bitel VODzilla.co ...a compelling study of personal & collective fear, as well as a self-reflexive portrait of the human animal & its approximate imitations in representative arts & entertainments. Ascher's documentary goes deep into the uncanny valley of the dolls. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review James Evans Starburst Even though you might not think dummies are that creepy or scary it's rather the themes that are universal and that's what works.

Audience Member interesting enough; i wish it were longer & had a little more substance, but it's not bad for what it is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review adam b Pretty creepy personal doc about the use of dolls in horror films and how it shaped his (the director) childhood in a way Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was made by the same person who made the atrocious Room 237. The theories presented are non-sensical and foolish. Not mucg good to say other than he did a great job of getting the original shows/movies/ads from the 80's that are being discussed (vs reenacting or using CGI). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
