09/18/2018 THE Fucking "Doll" movie. Chuck 2 and 3 are the only ones better, except of course for my #1 "Doll Movie"... "May (2002)" See more 06/19/2011 Horror giapponese delirante e very low budget. Tante idee interessanti, ma realizzazione inguardabile, se non durante una serata trash con amici con la speranza di potersi tirare su a vicenda... :) See more 09/30/2009 Wow. I can't wait to never watch this movie again. Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Do not watch this movie sober. The only reason to watch this movie is to show to friends about how horrible this movie is. Makes a great finale for an MST3K night though. For some reason RT won't let me give it a 0% rating. See more 11/05/2008 Kinda creeped me out See more 10/15/2008 Absolute drivel - and looks as if it was filmed on a cameraphone. See more 09/03/2008 There's nothing wrong with the plot exactly, but it's very obviously a low budget production - not only in terms of the camera picture, but in the technical effects used such as speeding up the picture. The soundtrack seems oddly divorced from the visuals, as if the actors have been dubbed over or the soundtrack hasn't been synched up properly. The film has a very manga-like quality - which was probably intentional as Junji Ito was involved with production. However, instead of working in its favour, as in Uzumaki, the effects are distracting and somwhat off-putting. it would work well as a manga (not so much an anime, I think), or even a big budget production if it took itself a touch more seriously.
