Dolly

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Packed with grim, relentless set pieces and gleefully excessive gore, Dolly may not reinvent the slasher wheel, but it spins it with such chaotic energy that it becomes an unapologetically brutal celebration of horror's most unhinged extremes.

One senses that Rod Blackhurst knows that Dolly is undernourished, but his attempts to jazz it up by splitting it into transparently titled chapters only calls further attention to that dearth of imagination. Go to Full Review

His vision is twisted but also sometimes funny in its ridiculousness, making for a film that’s well-balanced tonally, even if it feels a little slight on plotting. Go to Full Review

This is not polite horror. It’s blood-caked, sun-bleached, and proudly nasty; a love letter to 1970s hicksploitation that howls its influences rather than whispering them. Go to Full Review

With its grindhouse aesthetic and gnarly physical effects, Dolly is a brutal, violent, and slightly comical ride. Go to Full Review

Dolly doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but nor does it seek to. Instead, it’ll tear that wheel straight off the truck and clobber you over the head with it, until you too have had your brain turned into mushy headcheese. Go to Full Review

...Dolly explicitly lays out its intentions to be an homage to 1970s exploitation cinema, with a strong sense of the era’s aesthetic and cinematography styles, as well as the period’s collective commentary on how the horrors are in America’s back garden.. Go to Full Review
