Killer doll telenovela
"A wonderfully bizarre piece of Mexican genre cinema directed by Alfredo Salazar, blending possessed-doll horror with the aesthetics of a low-budget telenovela. After inheriting a mysterious estate in Mexico City, Tony and Annie become terrorized by a sinister clown doll connected to a series of deadly accidents. Starring Lorena Herrera, Roberto Guinar and Margarito Esparza, this strange Mexican take on the killer-doll craze is every bit as bizarre as its reputation suggests. The film gets a particularly fantastic physical-media treatment from Degausser Video, the Vinegar Syndrome label dedicated to preserving the aesthetics of obscure video-era genre cinema. The ultra-limited VHS edition comes in a custom hard-shell light box, while the Blu-ray presents the film from the best surviving archival tape material, with newly translated English subtitles, a commentary by film historian Hugo Lara and an interview with Roberto Guinar. A perfect release for collectors who love discovering the weirdest corners of VHS horror."
