I didn't really know what I was getting myself into when I sat down in 2020 to watch the 2014 horror movie "Night of the Dolls". I stumbled upon it by sheer luck, and with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.
Well, 35 minutes later I got up and turned it off. This movie was just downright boring and pointless. The entire movie was just lacking anything interesting to offer the audience. And it is a movie that just screams low budget in every aspect. Not that there necessarily is anything wrong with low budget movies by default, but "Night of the Dolls" just didn't fare well.
I never got immersed into the storyline, right from the very beginning I must admit that writer Tom Komisar and director Daniel Murphy were losing me as an audience because what transpired on the screen was just pointless and was just dripping with that bad low budget feel.
The acting in the movie was dubious at best, and it didn't really help that they virtually had nothing to work with in terms of a proper storyline or interesting characters.
Honestly, I can't say that I enjoyed the storyline, much less the characters in the movie - well in the 35 minutes of torture that I sat through, at least. I didn't find anything enjoyable in the storyline as written by Tom Komisar, nor were I finding any enjoyment in the characters milling about on the screen.
Sure, there are far worse movies out there, trust me. But "Night of the Dolls" was definitely a movie to be given a wide berth. I am rating it a two out of ten stars.
