- BLACK DEVIL DOLL (DVD MOVIE)
Description
Five beautiful young women… one evil, murderous puppet.
Heather thought that a Ouija board was nothing but an innocent child’s game. Little did she know, this child’s game would open a flaming door to hell and re-animate the soul of a recently executed black militant serial killer! With his spirit now trapped in the body of a trash-talking ventriloquist doll, Heather and her friends must fight off the unrelenting horrors and unspeakable deviant advances of a three foot killer with a taste for young flesh and warm blood. Can they stop the BLACK DEVIL DOLL?

A co-working of mine was talking about this movie a year ago and telling me that he couldn’t wait for it to be released on DVD. So, when I saw it at a local chain I plunked down the cash and hoped it would compliment my “minature” horror/comedy section of my library…Child’s Play (all of ‘em), good old Leprechaun (all of ‘em) and even Rumplestiltskin. Boy, the old adage, you can’t judge a book (DVD) by the cover, how true! As pointed out by a previous reviewer, the concept sounded like a blast but the execution was a disaster! Where do I start? The cast? The Ho’s for lack of any better description in this movie must have been recruited from some methodone clinic. The acting was beyond bad it was painful. I know movies in this genre are supposed to have bad acting but you have to see this to believe it. The only requirements for auditioning in this film are: Do you have big breasts? Will you get naked? Oh, and did we mention you need to be willing to hump a wooden dummie? The movie was more like “Chucky meets Jenna Jameson” If you like the sight of crack ho’s boffing a wooden doll, then this movie is for you, because that’s basically it along with the stereotyped one liners.
Now on to the “special effects”…what effects??? This was so collegiate. Worse than low budget, worse than no budget. The dummie, the “Star” of the film was so pathetic, it was insulting. Look at the scenes of him “ambulating” because it sure isn’t walking and you’ll know what I’m talking about. The other hi-tech effect was Jergen’s lotion! If you’re dumb enough to watch this movie like I did you’ll get the picture.
Why 2 stars? Because as I’ve said before, the concept sounded fun, an African American Chucky (by the way, the “N” word is really over used in this little flick). 4 stars for the balls to come up with something like this and 0 stars for the overall result. Granted I must admit I chuckled a few times, but replaying this mess is outta the question!

I had initially been exposed to ‘Black Devil Doll’ through an advertisement in Rue Morgue magazine. What seemed to be a pretty entertaining premise fell flat on its face and this movie’s only saving grace is that it’s so preposterously far-fetched that it almost makes it enjoyable.
I’ll save you the agony of delving into details about what makes this movie so terribly bad, but I’ll give you the quick summary: it begins weak, the build to the climax is weak, and the climax is anti-climactic. The length of some of the scenes were really annoying as well. I am a huge supporter of underground and independent film-making, but I just can’t support something so boring and annoying. If you consider yourself to be a semi-intelligent person, you’ll be running for the hills if you give this one a shot!

From out of the world of blaxploitation comes Black Devil Doll, an almost fun romp that could’ve been so much better. A Black Panther militant is being put to death for raping and murdering 15 white women. As he’s being strapped to the chair, miles away a young woman entertains herself with a Ouija board. Suddenly, his soul comes shootin’ out of the board and enters a wooden puppet sitting next to her! Sporting an afro, a new skin color, and an engorged wooden “member” Black Devil Doll shocks the girl, calms her and beds her in record time-particularly for a puppet. But she’s not enough and BDD convinces her to bring him more nubile ivory lasses. He then reverts to his M.O. sending these *ahem* ladies to their deaths.
Rue Morgue magazine reported that the budget for this movie was about $5000. And it’s apparent most of that money went into building the puppet. (Several were made.) In fact, the puppet is clearly the best thing about this flick. It’s obvious great care went into the design as filmmakers succeeded in giving him a genuine personality complete with facial expression and a cool voice. (His reaction to an all girl carwash sequence is hilarious!)
But that accomplishment is undermined by dreadful acting by the women in the movie, a lazy script, and questionable picture quality that renders the whole movie increasingly tedious to watch. Nudity is ample but the chicks aren’t exactly Playboy quality. Gore lovers may be dissapointed as the best scenes don’t appear till the close to the end. They include a throat slashing (seen in the promos) and a disemboweling. To top it all off, humor about human excrement is included which takes out whatever fun was left.
A nice try but blaxploitation lovers will hollar “wannabe.”

I was really looking fwd to getting my hands on this dvd, I loved the trailer and couldnt wait to see the movie, i dropped 17.99 plus tax and took it home popped it in the player and made it about 1 hr in before i had to take it out because the trailer is the only good thing about this garbage. This movie stinks, its all hype great marketing , great packaging, great trailer, but the film is crap it stars stupid horrible acting porno chicks and , after watching the doll lick enough booty while farting, and seeing it ejaculate a few times ive had enough this is not a horror film its mostly porno and its just not funny for more then 5 mins, the film has no class, and is trashy 13 yr old humor that gets old fast, dont be fooled by the hype trust me pass on this, its junk.

This is pretty much the best blaxploitation puppet movie ever made (well, at least among the top 5 of all time)!!
You owe it yourself to check this one out….unless of course the poster, or anything on it, offends you.
Then please check out something a little tamer…like Cannibal Holocaust – Limited 2 Disc Uncut Edition
Cannot wait for the sequel!!
