Doll of the Dead

About This Movie

So, 'Doll of the Dead' is this quirky little short from 2010 that leans heavily into the DIY aesthetic. It's not every day you see zombies portrayed with dolls, and that choice creates a bizarrely unsettling atmosphere. The pacing’s tight, and it doesn’t waste time getting into the creepy vibe. The practical effects have a certain charm, blending the absurd with the horrific. It’s like a fever dream gone wrong, where innocence clashes with the macabre. The performances are, well, as you'd expect from dolls, but the expressiveness of their movements adds a layer of eeriness. It’s definitely distinctive, capturing that niche blend of horror and playfulness that’s hard to describe. Worth checking out if you're into offbeat horror.
