6/10
Deliberately confusing doll horror.
7 January 2022
An independent feature, clearly a passion for Steven M. Smith, who has a hand in all levels of production, and plays the role of the uncommunicative taxi driver. The story ultimately seems to be inspired by The Wicker Man, but with a manic living doll thrown in.

Brendan Cobbs is a writer suffering from 'the block'. Naturally in a horror film, it is suggested he temporarily relocates to an isolated cottage with no phone or internet - a situation that leaves him vulnerable to the oncoming nastiness.

I quite enjoyed this, although the storyline seems deliberately vague and the dialogue is often filled with apocalyptic dialogue nobody would actually say. Technically, it's very good for a low budget horror, with some creepy cinematographic moments and some good performances; Jon-Paul Gates is good as Brendan, as is Kit Pascoe as The Seductress. 6 out of 10.
