source: Doll Face

Shy and awkward, but still fetching young lass Marmalade (lovely brunette Alix Villaret) inherits her grandmother's condo which has all sorts of creepy dolls in it. Sound good? Well, it just ain't. For starters, the meandering story unfolds at a painfully plodding pace. Worse yet, there's zero tension or spooky atmosphere. The decision to have Marmalade talk without her lips moving proves to be disastrous; it's such an odd and off-putting touch that the picture never recovers from it. The lame twist at the end doesn't help matters any. A real clunker.

Every year my dad gets my siblings and I a bad movie to watch. This year, it was this movie. The lead actress (I think the only female in the whole movie), doesn't even say ONE WORD. Everyone can read her mind, I guess. Fast forward 95% of the film. Did all of these people think this movie was a good idea?

Marmalade (Alix Villaret ) inherits a condo and eerie collection of dolls from her grandmother. She is on medication and the dolls at times appear animated. When she finds a doll hung, she contacts the doll fixer (Tim Dax) who warns of the evil Spunkneck curse. Marmalade has a doll face and doesn't move her lips when she talks. A child's piano provides for the sound track. The film is in the wheelhouse of cult or art house. Ending has a twist, part of which we suspected. Guide: No swearing. Blurred nudity. No sex.

Oh my good god this was so bad, wow! The lead actress who clearly didn't speak English, didn't actually say a single line, she just mimed out her scenes without even moving her mouth and someone else spoke over them, but they were presented in the scenes as if it was normal and people were talking to her which of course didn't work for a second and so the whole thing was full of awkward and stunted scenes with a big what the hell is going on factor! It was so boring and just beyond cheap, I kept starting to nod off as there was nothing happening, just a girl weirdly talking to all kinds of dolls that she inherited, and to their credit some of those dolls did look a little creepy, but you can't make a movie around that, it makes me miss the old days of movies like Puppet Master, and Trilogy of Terror, B-movies some might say, but at least real movies with spooky atmospheres and some genuinely chilling scenes, this film void just sucked so bad, it was insulting, I hope whoever's doll museum they borrowed was deeply offended by how their prize collection was so poorly used. Lol oh my heavens it's so terrible you'll be laughing like a crazy person would after a while, I was! What a complete painful mess I frankly can't believe they had the guts to put it out there for unfortunate people to see as it's not a film it's an elaborate home movie with dolls, don't bother there's really nothing to see like almost literally, it's background noise you don't have to listen to at best, whooee!

The part where the girl was on the therapist the scene is just cringe where the doll attacked the girl. The more you watch it it gets cringe It's like a high school project whatever. The camera is just shaky, They need to get a new cameraman. This movie is like a Walmart version.

A French actress, who therefore is either a mute telepathic or overdubbed, inherits a condo full of creepy dolls, and has to treat them like real people. This movie is not fine, not cast well, and frankly could use some nudity or blood spilling to make a bad movie interesting. Watching a French mute lose her mind is not fun. Was there any legal penalty is she just gave them all to a Charity or an exhibit? Does the curse make sexbots? What a trash movie. Just go watch the Puppet Master series or Blood Dolls.

Dolls can be really creepy so I gave this a spin. The main character does not even move her lips in the film. The others do but Marmalade does not. Very poorly acted and parts are as stupid as any D movie out there. If you want to waste an afternoon go for it but don't spend money on it you will regret it.

What can I say... I love a good campy thriller movie! If you've got a bottle of wine and an hour to kill, it's a fun watch. Makes bold choices. And the girl in it is pretty good.
