Baby Doll

About This Movie

So, 'Baby Doll' from 1988 is this eerie little gem that dives into psychological horror. You’ve got this young woman who heads to her late grandmother’s farm, and let me tell you, it’s got this thick, suffocating atmosphere that just drips with tension. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, allowing those childhood traumas to really fester and seep into the viewer’s mind. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, add a layer of authenticity to her delusions. And the performances? They bring a rawness that feels unsettlingly real. It’s distinctive in its exploration of trauma and how it haunts us, making for a haunting experience with a touch of the surreal. It’s not just about scares; it gets under your skin in a different way.
