First of all, it was almost impossible for me to actually find the movie I watched (which was entitled "Dollface") in order to write a review. It seems there was an original (Crinoline Head), then this movie, and now another one (?) known as "Dorchester's Revenge." Much ado about nothing, that's for sure.
The one I watched TRIED to be a stroll down memory lane (think 80's slasher flicks), but it did not even come close to that decade's worst slasher film. The story (from what I could follow) was some history students (yeah; I know) at a local university have a deadline to meet in regards to their semester "project." Two males announce they want to research the legend of Crinoline Head. It is also brought to attention their history teacher was a survivor of the original slaughter brought on by Crinoline Head and he's not certain they should pursue this. Yawn.
Anyhoo, off they go to what looks like a nice fishin' hole to set up camp and get slaughtered. Along the way, they meet the repulsive female caretaker of the land whose mouth and personal hygiene leave a lot to be desired. She watches over what's left of the property where Crinoline Head used to live. Why? Who knows, because it seems the house actually burned down. How nice the director thought showing her laundered s*it-stained underwear hanging on a clothesline would add something to the movie. But I digress.
I could go on prattling about this mess, but that would give it way more attention than it deserves. Lacking for any kind of continuity or believable story, the director decided to go for the gross-out factor. I will have to say that in all my born days (and there have been a few...), I have never seen a movie that called for one female character to slap another female in the face with a soiled tampon. Yes, this happens, and it gives the phrase "tea-bagging" a whole new meaning.
This trash panders to the lowest-of-low kind of viewer who would have people believe they're hard core horror fans, but who actually wouldn't know good horror if it bit them on the ass. All involved should be ashamed of this bowel movement. True horror fans continue to ask why horror is disappearing from movie screens. Well, here's one great example that will help answer that question.
Unrated for disgusting images, language, and violence.
