The Devil Dolls (2016)

Rating: Thumbs Down 👎


The Devil's Dolls is a movie about the worlds worst cop. After finally finding and killing a serial killer that had been his obsession for a very long time he just loses any fucks he had left to give. 

The evidence at the crime scene was a wooden box with a handful of handmade dolls, he put them in an evidence box in the back of his police are and went to visit his daughter. He told her that he had something for her in the car and she ran out to find it, for some reason she thought it would be in the evidence box. A good cop would have noticed this pretty soon since I'm pretty sure they have to log all the evidence right away, and not keep it in their car for several days. 

The daughter uses the dolls as charms for jewelry she makes and sells at the thrift shop. She sells one to a young couple from out of town, her aunt, and a daughter taking care of her wheelchair bound mother. Of course she keeps one for herself. 

So the male in the young couple brutally kills a gas station clerk while wearing the necklace, which the cop doesn't notice at all. He had seen these necklaces before obviously, but he just apparently blocked that from his mind. It doesn't click until his ex-wife's best friend's husband, Todd, kills their landscaper and then the wife. If Todd isn't his name I'm sorry, I didn't feel like looking on IMDb to double check, I'm going from memory. 

The daughter apparently has epilepsy and in the middle of the night while wearing her devil doll bracelet she kills her mom's fiances' dog and draws a demonic symbol in blood on the pantry door. The symbol is important because it's what the serial killer used and was a detail not shared with the public. The young boy who killed the gas clerk drew the symbol on a display case and Todd had it carved into his chest. 

Several people close to him, including his partner, die during this film and he doesn't seem to be bothered at all. It was just dumb. 

His daughter killed a dog, so if you don't like animal violence (I don't), just a warning I guess.
