Directed by Maria Lease. Written by Lease, Rod Nave and Peter Sutcliffe. Starring Denise Crosby, Rip Torn, Sam Bottoms, Candace Hutson and Chris Demetral.
Plot: a centuries old curse turns a beautiful doll into a savage killer.
The Sanzia, or Satan on Earth, takes refuge in a doll known as Dolly Dearest. The Wade’s obtain the Dolly Dearest factory and give the doll to their daughter, Jessica (Hutson). Within a day of having the doll, Jessica is acting like a creepy, little, psycho and the maid starts praying really fast. I was upset when she had to die.
The doll is creepy, but not jump scare worthy. Jimmy (Demetral) is a little brat kid who don’t listen. They have such bad kids. There’s a lack of Freddy Claws, too. The husband (Bottoms) doesn’t believe anything his wife (Crosby) says. Most of the acting was good though, but overall it’s just your basic, middle-of-the-road, doll movie. Nothing special, but worth the watch if you’ve got some extra time on your hands.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
