Let's be realistic.

Am I Missing Something?

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The soul of an executed serial killer invades a puppet thanks to a Ouija board, becoming the lover of it's owner, commanding her to bring him fresh meat to sexually molest(mostly after he kills them, including her former boyfriend who he ass rapes, a white man who talks gansta). If you want to hear a doll made up to look like a 70's crack dealer spouting foul language, attacking skanky giant fake breasted hard core porn actresses with such weapons as a skillet, metal baseball bat, and electrocution via appliance in bathtub water, then BLACK DEVIL DOLL is perfect entertainment for you. I'd prefer to spend my time elsewhere. Seeing a puppet strangle a full grown man with a small piece of rope is just embarrassing and silly beyond all comprehension. Purposely in bad taste, we get scenes of the black doll sniffing coke, orally pleasuring itself with dead female victims after beating them to a pulp, tossing profane quips with that creepy ventriloquist dummy smile. There's definitely a midnight movie crowd who will eat this up, but others will want to skip it altogether. I imagine "bitches riding puppet cock" and black devil doll receiving a "golden shower"(finishing her off afterwards with a vicious throat slashing that engulfs the carpet with a giant pool of blood)will appeal to the niche market and repulse everyone else. I will give it 2/10 for the amusing scene where brains are splattered across a Patrick McDreamy Dempsey poster. One major asset is that it's only a little over 60 minutes so despite wasting your time, it's over quickly.

This briskly paced film features a misogynist racist black ventriloquist doll that f**ks, sucks and murders a series of big b(.)(.)bed California style p0rn0 sluts (there is even an end credit for a breast augmentation doctor!). And not necessarily in that order. To enjoy this movie, you must reach down deep to find and embrace your own inner misogynist racist black ventriloquist doll. If you don't think you have one, you are deluding yourself. Yes, you ladies have your own doll too, it's just a little deeper down in your subconscious. If you positively refuse to acknowledge your inner darkness, you can at least watch in awe at the depths that the modern male psyche can sink to. Nothing about this movie suggests that uptight moral and upstanding citizens should be renting it, but I have all the confidence in the world that your zest for self-righteous indignation will overcome the obviousness that this movie was not made for you. I look forward to reading your hilariously overwrought 1 star reviews. But for freaks like me, BLACK DEVIL DOLL could not have arrived too soon.

Ahh where do I begin? I had been following this movie for probably over a year, and since I first saw the hilarious looking trailer, I had put it at the top of my list with movies to see, along with Bad Biology. And I remember that the DVD was supposed to be released last year, and I was disappointed to find that they delayed the release, but I am happy because I got to experience Black Devil Doll on the big screen, in a theater, the way it should be seen. And it was more than worth the wait. Trust me. This movie is like no other film you have seen in your life, trust me. And you will never see a film like this again. And that is more than a good thing. This film is definitely not for the easily offended, not for the faint of heart, not for those who are easily grossed out, and you get the idea. Full of nudity, violence, gore, and more awesomeness, this must be the most fun I have had in a theater since I saw Poultrygeist. There are scenes that will make you scream OH MY GOD, scenes that will make you laugh your butt off, and scenes that are just plain wrong. It all adds up to one hilarious fun time. I must also add that the score from Giallos Flame is excellent, 70's style music. From the credits, I knew I was in the presence of greatness. The black devil doll is one of the most entertaining characters in film history, and will be sure to make you laugh. Whether you like the movie or not, you will be entertained. Just know what you are in for. It is sick, twisted, funny, gross, and so wrong, but oh, so right. I really wish there were more movies like this. It screams sequel!

The production cost of BLACK DEVIL DOLL breaks down to one puppet, five reasonably priced nude females, one hundred jugs of Karo syrup, miscellaneous pharmaceuticals, and $10,000 in Oakland Fried Chicken. The results pay off like a multi-million-dollar lottery.The movie opens with black militant Mubia Abul-Jama (Jonathan Lewis) marching down Death Row to be executed for his crimes against Caucasian society. Just as Jama rides the lightning, the bored and busty Heather (Heather Murphy) unwittingly transports his soul into the body of a ventriloquist's dummy during a desultory Ouija board séance. Mubia wastes no time demonstrating his miniature pimp hand. Naturally, Heather falls in love; the busty beauty dumps her wannabe rapper boyfriend White-T and submits to the doll's sexual hunger. Roll the puppet romance montage.But this puppet needs some strange. Some trim. Some fresh white tail. While White-T weeps in Wigger angst, Mubia commands Heather to round up her bimbo girlfriends.What follows is a relentless, abusive, and uproarious onslaught of rape, misogyny, mutilation, mayonnaise, mass murder, sodomy, toilet humor and racially charged puppet high-jinks. The movie's many freak-out sequences were filmed in Negroscope, a patented process which visualizes the puppet's psychosis in a multi-layered, psychedelic blur of Black History Month flashbacks. From the puppet's first demonic eyeball-roll to the mind-melting, sphincter-shattering climax, BLACK DEVIL DOLL delivers the total package to your door...and says "F**K YOU!" when you sign for it. Eruptions of H.G. Lewis-style gore, Russ Meyer-like breasts, graphic necrophilia, salad-tossing, and the funniest prison-rape joke in recent memory are just a few highlights; the actors rightly allow the wooden doll to upstage them, and the original soundtrack by Giallo's Flame completes the atmosphere.During the film's world premiere at L.A.'s New Beverly Cinema, an emcee hurled over-sized black dildos into the sold-out crowd while director Jonathan Lewis smiled serenely. The audience went wild.Eldridge Cleaver is still on ice, but the Black Devil Doll is on fire. Long may his magic chocolate wand wave, and deep may he thrust into your honky soul!
