Jesse Magee During the early years of the "Home Video Revolution", video rental outlets needed items on the shelves and needed them NOW! Distributors were grabbing just about anything that ran long enough to be considered a "film", slapping a grabber of a cover on it and putting it out. A distributor took a look at a homemade shot to video movie called "Puppet", renamed it "Black Devil Doll From Hell" and this stinker is the result. BDDFH would be relegated to a single VHS copy in Chester N. Turner's sock drawer otherwise. We would be the poorer for it.This film has everything. The dumpiest (Sorry, Shirley) leading lady in cinema history, the worst heavy metal title song ever, titles straight off a Commodore 64 that go on over six minutes at the beginning and nearly that long at the end. A soundtrack that features some of the worst electronic hum and worst mixing ever committed to video. A score that is performed on a Casio keyboard. Acting that actually rivals "Manos, The Hands Of Fate" in ineptitude. Silly camera work and without a doubt the most amusingly overwrought dialogue I've ever seen. But the star of the show by far is "Puppet", a ventriloquist dummy with braids and what appears to be one of Thurston Howell's jungle explorer outfits from "Gilligan's Island". Hideous, and hilarious, from start to finish. Only watch this with friends you know well. Anyone else will immediately label you "insane" and call the appropriate authorities.

dbborroughs Shot on video monstrosity about a repressed deeply religious black woman who buys a ventriloquist dummy with dreadlocks that happens to be possessed. The Dummy seduces her and then takes her over turning her into a sex fiend.As they say you have to see it to believe it. Obviously the intent was to make a serious film about the fall from grace, yadda yadda yadda, but the result is painful, Mostly because scenes run on and on and on with no end in sight. We get a long phone conversation while the camera pans around the house showing all the religious items in it. The opening credits take almost 7 minutes of screen time (thats about one tenth the length of the film). The music is awful. And the sex scenes...well did you ever want to know what it would look like if Charlie Mc Carthy ever managed to marry a real live girl? Yea, me neither. This is a painful film that is only recommended for seasoned bad movie lovers or mental patients, preferably people who are both. This walks that fine line between MST3K good bad and mind destroying bad.You've been warned.

spencers-6 First of all, I don't think I ever laughed so hard ever watching a so-bad it's good horror movie.That being said, with all due respect to BDDFH, there is a much worse horror movie out there folks. Trust me, I've seen a lot. If you haven't seen this, you have to put it high on your list. Good luck finding it though.....I give you:#1) Barn of the Blood Llama #2) Attack of the Beast Creatures #3) Black Devil Doll from HellAlso, you can go to Badmovies.org. It's an awesome sight.You might also look at:God Monster of Indian Flats Night of the Lepus Frankenstein Island:-) Spencer

deadcoil My fiancée and I like to watch bad movies. It's an addiction, you see. We watch bad films, searching for the worst of the worst just so we can inflict them on unsuspecting friends. To heck with the Geneva convention.Thanks to our hunt for the perfect bad film, my eyes have been forced to undergo trauma akin to that inflicted upon the victims of Nazi death camps. I have seen Tattoo from Fantasy Island have sex with an older redhead on a dinner table. I have seen Jesus Christ fight vampire lesbians in Canada. I have memorized a long tirade against the evils of grapes. I have seen a man walk through a ballroom full of zombies with a running lawnmower held out from his chest. I have seen gay black aliens remove the scourge of womankind from the earth. I have seen a Leprechaun do things very unLeprechaunlike, if boxes of Lucky Charms are to be believed. NOTHING on EARTH is worse than Black Devil Doll From Hell. NOTHING. The other posters aren't kidding - this film was shot on NO budget through a VHS Camcorder. If the "director" decided to buy his cast a six-pack of beer, this could be considered the first movie with a NEGATIVE budget. The horror comes from watching it. No joke - it's so foully painful that I can't imagine ANYONE watching this movie without rubbing their heads to relieve the overwhelming urge to turn off their television and smash it into pieces with a hammer. Here's your first spoiler: A devout Christian woman buys a Rick James doll from a store, takes it home and is raped by it. It then disappears while she has sex with two more men. She finds it at the store again, and re-purchases it. It kills her.Second spoiler: THERE IS NO SECOND SPOILER.I'm going to go take a few thousand showers now to wash away the filth covering my body, having freshly watched this abomination.
