Described as a "voodoo-slasher shocker bursting with scarily inventive kills", director Padraig Reynolds' THE DEVIL'S DOLLS is a film we first heard about last October, at which time it was going by the title WORRY DOLLS and making the festival rounds. The movie has since landed distribution and will be receiving a theatrical and VOD release from IFC Midnight under its new title on September 16th.
Written by Christopher Wiehl and Danny Kolker, THE DEVIL'S DOLLS has the following synopsis:
A serial killer’s curse unleashes a season of slaughter in the backwoods of Mississippi. According to an ancient Guatemalan tradition, parents teach their children to allay their troubles by telling them to handmake “worry dolls” just before bedtime. But when several of these talismans—which once belonged to a notorious mass murderer—find their way into the hands of unsuspecting residents of a small Southern town, it sets off a grisly wave of bloodshed.
Wiehl stars in the film, along with Kym Jackson, Kennedy Brice, Brandon Johnson, Brea Grant, Yohance Mile, Samantha Smith, and Tina Lifford.
The trailer and poster art for THE DEVIL'S DOLLS can be seen below. I'm very glad to hear that this film was picked up for distribution and will be coming out soon, because this looks like it's going to be right up my alley.
