PopHorror Let's Get Scared
Most dolls have an innocence to them… unless they’re showing up in a horror movie. There’s “Good Guy,” who wasn’t exactly Andy’s best friend. Then we’ve got Annabelle who, in real life, is a Raggedy Ann doll turned evil. The Curse of the Witch’s Doll is a new film in the demonic doll movie scene. Does it live up to the freaky doll expectations? Read on to find out!
The Curse of the Witch’s Doll Synopsis:
Adeline Gray’s attempt to escape bombing in her home town leads her to a derelict, creepy manor in the woods. When Adeline’s young daughter goes missing during a game of hide-and-seek, a series of inexplicable events lead her to believe a haunted doll holds a vengeful soul; the soul of a murdered Witch. As Adeline’s desperate search for her daughter continues, it soon becomes clear; to have any hope of being reunited, she must defeat the curse of The Witch’s Doll.
The film stars Helen Crevel, Michelle Archer and Claire Carreno. The film is written and directed by Lawrence Fowler.
My Thoughts:
I didn’t see the twist in Curse of the Witch’s Doll coming at all. The movie is much more than a scary doll movie. There is some depth in the plot and I really enjoyed it. The acting is solid as well as the story. It definitely had a couple of creepy doll moments as well. Although I wouldn’t say that the movie drags, it does have some slow moments. I believe this is because of the expectation of it being a straight up horror film. It has horror elements, but I’d classify it as more of a gothic movie. Is Curse of the Witch’s Doll worth a watch? Yes! Just know that it is definitely more than just a scary doll movie. Be prepared for a gothic movie with horror elements.
Curse of the Witch’s Doll is available now on Amazon Prime and other VOD platforms, as well as on DVD on March 6th and SVOD on June 5th. Be sure to give their Facebook a like for more information. Be sure to check out the trailer below!
