Doll Boy

About This Movie

Doll Boy is quite the trip if you're into horror that feels raw and gritty. The atmosphere is thick with tension from the get-go, and the setting—a desolate warehouse that's almost a character on its own—adds to that dread. The pacing is relentless, with a sense of dread building as the characters, all young West Texans, grapple with their grim fate. The practical effects are worth noting too; they lean into the brutality without getting overly flashy. Performances are pretty solid, especially considering the cast's youth. It captures that desperate fight for survival vibe, and the way it plays with themes of fear and helplessness really sticks with you. It's not polished, but that's part of its charm.
