Liana Rojas, a creatively starved stylist assistant, discovers that the historical downtown Los Angeles factory building where her fashion designer sister mysteriously died is haunted by a serial killer posing as a headshot photographer for film studios who brutally murdered and dismembered his victims half a century earlier. This knowledge forces Liana and her friends to find a way to free themselves from the curse and escape the sinister ghost before they lose their own body parts. From the glorious black-and-white prologue to the grisly exorcism finale, director John Berardo's chiller is dressed to kill.

Harper Rochel Goldman MovieJawn More than anything else, when watching The Mannequin, I often found myself asking, “Why?” Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror In many ways, this feels like a wonderful homage to several other genre classics, while also being very current.

Rated: 3/5 Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Kat Hughes THN The Mannequin is not the wacky film that the title or premise suggests, putting an emphasis on deep and meaningful character work instead.

It was easy to watch, there were definitely some scary scenes, and a surprising amount of comic relief. The cinematography was also really good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review ABRAM M The Mannequin is a clever blend of nostalgic cult-classic energy with a modern edge. The film captures some offbeat charm while feeling distinctly current. The script is witty and self-aware, keeping the humor well paced. It’s quirky with a good amount of scares — a great movie to watch with friends that’ll strike up good conversation Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review T R Campy, fun, with some good jump scares! Great for a movie night with friends! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review J L Surprisingly good acting and effects for an indie horror. There were a couple unexpected jump scares in there and some twists I didn’t expect. Overall an easy movie choice for a night in on the couch and a bowl of popcorn. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review B D This movie was surprisingly scary with some laughs and an unexpected twist. Great movie to watch with friends, especially for Halloween.
